Breville Cappuccino maker

 

Great unit.Easy to setup and to use. Warm up time is short. My kids can now make the various coffee drinks for the adults. They use the steamer for their hot chocolate and it foams easily.

Very good value, consistent shots, excellent froth

 

I have had the Cafe Roma since December 2007, it was recommended to me by a Rancillio Owner as a good Value machine. It has performed flawlessly once I got the proper grind and tamp(as with any expresso machine). I use an inexpensive Breville grinder...

Great Value, consistent shots/froth. quick heat-up, large water reservoir, easier than single-walled portafilter designs

Lightly tamped Pucks removed immediately are messy.- need more room below steaming wand
