Customer Reviews With Photos

I absolutely love this coffee maker. I love Breville brand overall and own 3 in the house. I’m coffee addict and I own Nespresso but I needed regular coffee brewer. The amazing part is that coffee is hot the way I like it and remains hot in the pot for 2 long hours. One smart machine. I wouldn’t take off 1 Star because of the defect from shipped coffee machine from coffeemakers.us.com and didn’t keep coffee warm. Instead, I have reached out to the Breville and they immediately shipped me the new one and shipped the one from coffeemakers.us.com back to them. Their customer service is awesome! I wanted brand new replaced coffee maker to come from them. It’s superb and works perfectly. I have even programmed it to brew early in the morning and smell of coffee aroma inside home is wonderful. I wouldn’t have any other regular coffee machine. I highly recommend this one. Taste of coffee is exceptional and make sure to buy fresh coffee. I buy organic one in smaller quantities from Whole Foods and grind it there on the spot. Unless you have the grinder at home.

I received this coffee maker earlier today but I'm disappointed by its very poor quality. The bottom of the little pot broke after just one use. I did not drop it or set it down hard; it's just a cheap piece of junk.

I have loved this coffee pot, and have treated it gently, but it cracked at the handle (see picture) after 3 months of use. Very disappointing.

My husband and I have been on the fence for years about getting one of these single serve products. My mother-in-law has this in her home and we really liked the fact that it was compact, simple & easy to use. Makes up to a 10 oz drink. You can remove the tray to put a slightly taller mug, but nothing tall like a travel mug (plus, you would need to make 2 separate servings to fill a travel mug). Just pour what you make in a regular mug into a travel or taller mug. There's no water storage container; you pour water before you make you coffee/tea. Not a big deal for us and we like knowing we have fresh water with each serving. BTW we have a regular full size coffee maker, but sometimes we only want one cup &/or something special (flavored coffee). This Keurig is perfect just for that. We've been using this for almost a month. No problems at all.

I was pleasantly surprised to discover that this coffee machine features a separate hot water tube. I often use the hot water function to clean the espresso maker's accessories after brewing coffee, and it's also handy for making tea during downtime. I'm especially satisfied with the American coffee function, which lets me enjoy a fresh cup of Americano every morning. Additionally, I find it incredibly convenient to use the hot water for preparing formula for my son while I’m making my coffee. Overall, this machine has made my mornings much easier!

This is a great portable espresso maker that is capable of small brews under 6oz. The whole selling point is the portability and it delivers there. The device is extremely lightweight, not heavier than a water bottle. It is able to heat and brew coffee or espresso within 3 minutes. It is also capable of cold brewing, which was very mild in flavor. We used it mostly with ground coffee and a hot brew was decent in flavor. Battery life was good and it lasted the 2 days we were outside with limited brewing (about 8 cups). It is intuitive to use and operate. After our outdoor trip, we found ourselves rarely using it again. It's not exactly something we need to bring to an office or while traveling around Europe. The device costs about the same as a full-size espresso machine, so the portability has to be worth it, despite the more limited functionality and types of coffee that can be crafted. The question is: how important is brewing coffee on-the-go to you?

I have had a lot of coffee makers in my time but this is one nice coffee maker. Really nice color and finish on this coffee machine. They do an exceptional job on these. Okay, how does it perform? Great!! Super fast. Set my grinder, put exceptional beans in the grinder (from Atlis Coffee Club) flavor was medium Rwanda coffee with notes of grape, red apple, roasted almond. Delicious on the first shot. Simple to set up like 2 minutes, put some third wave water in and flipped the switch. Super easy! Great coffee machine especially for the Black Friday price.

Really nice pot Hiighly recommend. My husband got it for Christmas and loves it!

Got it as a present for my office, everyone was as happy as they could be at work. Finally we're getting good quality of coffee, good amount of it and good temperature 😁 great size, no leaking, fair price. Invest to your everyday routine

UPDATE: Year 8... RIP to my Breville Grind Control Coffee Brewer which lasted 7 years, 10 months. Honestly I'd have been happy had it lasted 2 years when I first bought it considering I was going through 3-4 brewers per year for a few years prior to buying the Grind Control. The machine technically still worked when I retired it due to a tank leakage I'd neglected to acknowledge that led to a rust build-up on the bottom of the unit. More rust than I wanted to deal with removing. Also, it was looking rather worn after producing so many cups of coffee over so many years. In the nearly 8 years of using the Grind Control I also started drinking and making different coffee brew methods such as French Press, Moka, Pour Over and Espresso. With all those options I afforded myself the time to research and read reviews on other automatic coffee brewers before buying another machine. Nothing seemed to compare to the Grind Control features wise though. So I read the reviews here as well. Not sure where all the hate directed towards this machine comes from. So. Some people overstate how difficult the cleanup is. Cleaning the Grind Control is similar to cleaning an espresso machine. If you want good coffee but feel like maintaining a machine is to complicated, it's probably best to buy your coffee somewhere. You can start cleaning the Grind Control as soon as the grinder stops moving - just unlock it, remove the hopper and as many beans as needed to be able to remove the grinder, remove the rest ov the beans and clean this area with a brush during the brewing cycle. Use a pipe cleaner to clear the 3 holes in both the top and bottom grinder sections. Once your coffee is ready, take a sip or two then put it on a warming plate while you take a few minutes to brush the grinding chute clean and wipe the entire machine clean with a damp microfiber cloth and wash the filter basket and all removable parts. Pat dry the spout where the water flows into the basket, just above the grinding chute as well since this area can acquire a mineral build-up that can affect the taste of your brew. After a few months of research and having no coffee from a drip machine, I bought my second Breville Grind Control 8 years and 2 months after the first. I've been using it for a month now and I've certainly missed this coffee. I'm maintaining the new machine better after each use than I did - some of the steps I listed I didn't do before. The only time I ever disassembled the grinder mechanism on the first machine was during the descaling process. I do use very dark beans though, and since I've grown accustomed to deep cleaning an espresso machine after regular use, I've noticed details about cleaning this machine I neglected before that when done regularly, produce a better brew. Also with this new machine, I only use the included basket instead of paper filters. This method delivers a brew consistency closer to a French Press, which is sort of what the Grind Control is - an electric French Press... ... ... ... End of Year 8 Update... ... .... UPDATE: FIVE (5) Years Later... I Still use this machine daily, usually for at least 2 single serve cups of various size, depending on the mug I'm using that day. Occasionally I'll brew a pot, either when I have guests, or the day after I run the Decalcification cycle, which I just ran today. The machine has a censor that tells when to clean, but rather than waiting, I prefer to clean every 6 weeks. In addition to the brush provided, I use a bamboo picnic knife to scrape inside of the chute to remove more grinds. Compressed Air is useful as well when doing a deep clean of the machine which I do twice a year ((OUTSIDE)). With the hopper removed (and excess beans) I spray the compressed air through the chute and the grinder (top half removed). Vinegar-soaked paper towels help remove ground coffee built up around the grinder and in the chute. Allow to air-dry, and reassemble. ...(End of 5 Year UPDATE)... The Breville Grind control is the best product with an electric cord I have ever purchased. I first saw it at the mall, and upon inspection it was clear it was designed for people who really enjoy coffee, by people who really enjoy coffee. The display model was the only one in stock, and the next store did not have it either. I logged onto coffeemakers.us.com when I got home, and 4 days later it arrived. The next morning, just over 2 weeks before my 42nd birthday, I tasted the coffee I always wanted but never was attainable. The ability to brew as few as one to as many as 12 cups is awesome. Before work I only have time for one cup, usually 350 ml. On days off I fill the entire carafe, and after more than 3 hours, the last mug is still a very drinkable and tasty temperature. For a single cup, which I enjoy black, I use strength setting 8 (strongest), and grind setting 1 (finest). For a carafe I use 3 on the grind setting. For after work, I found it quite easy to make an even stronger brew by starting the machine just long enough to grind beans for a 295 ml cup. Stop, open and close the brew basket door, adjust the grind for 235 ml cup, and within a few minutes I have a great base for whatever espresso type drink I have attempted to make. I purchased a separate milk frothing/steaming machine, so now when I visit the local Coffee House it is only to buy beans. Clean up is easy. Barely 2 minutes of rinsing and wiping. The longer it sits, the tougher it is to wipe the release disk, but I've not been so lazy yet that it has been bothersome. This past weekend I performed the descale process for the first time. It was simple and the machine is programmed to allow plenty of deep cleaning time. The previous brewer I owned was a single cup grind and brew system. It made a decent cup of coffee, but was no where near as hot or good. Clean up was tougher as the actual grinders had to be rinsed and dried after each cup. After a few months, the pressure point on the lid of the grinder popped off, cracking the lid. I made it work for a few weeks until I found the Breville Grind Control. Honestly, the coffee is so tasty I actually thank the machine as soon as the brew process is complete. The only downside? I work at a Diner and usually allow myself whatever coffee I can manage to sip until 10 a.m. I just can't taste it anymore. It tastes vaguely like that sip of decaf I mistakenly had a couple years ago, and as such, leaves me asking, why? Why would anyone drink this? Well, I for one, am currently devising an iced coffee recipe for my Grind Control so I will no longer have to. I paid full price for my Breville Grind Control, and have neither requested nor received compensation for my honest review. It has had no performance issues so far and I am extremely satisfied with the purchase. The photos are of a latte macchiato, from start, to beginning of the end, made using the Grind Control and separate frothing machine. If you need a new coffee brewer and you really enjoy coffee, this is the machine you need.

When considering a coffee pot, the important features include: Taste, Design, The Ease to Clean, and The Ease to Use. This Coffee Pot gets 5 stars in all these categories. TASTE: Full Flavor Taste - The Ability to Control Bold Flavor with a Rich Brew button also. DESIGN: Looks like a quality coffee pot that fits in nicely with many style kitchens. The lighting on the buttons is crisp as well. The timer works well and the pot can be set to stay warm. There is also a setting for a small batch of up to just 4 cups. EASE TO CLEAN: The water tank is fully removable and seats well in the machine with one hand. This makes all the difference in keeping the water tank clean of mineral build up. - This option really sets this pot ahead of so many others. EASE TO USE: You can fill the water tank with it attached as the tank has a HUGE opening. The tank is set to the side so when putting in the grinds there is little risk of contaminating the water tank. However, because its removable, this would be no issue to get clean. I am a converted Ninja Fan! This will always be my go to pot! Kudos to the engineers involved in this design!

I didn't think I would like this as much as I do. I've wanted a pour over coffee maker for a while. I've looked at a few different types, like the ones that just sit on your mug, etc. This came along, and frankly, it's styling appealed to me. I like the fact that it has an ounce (or should I say 600 ml) of thoughtful design! It makes a great couple of large cups of coffee and I use a paper filter, and water at around 200 F. I let the water first percolate and bubble and then gradually pour more through. It is a peaceful and relaxing start to my day.

I love my new coffee maker. Perfect for me I live off the gride and it makes awesome coffee . Highly recommend buying this wonderful product.💚

I ordered this press in copper, so when I opened it ,my first thought was to send it back. However… My husband and I recently returned from a 2 week trip in Europe where we had the most amazing coffee experiences. So…. I decided to give this press a try. Oh mylanta I’m so glad I did. This puppy could be pink for all I care, the coffee that came out was honestly as good as the French press coffee we drank in London. My coffee stays hot and no pesky grounds. No glass to break. Man I love this thing. I may order another one as a back up. :) You won’t be disappointed in this one folks.

Keep in mind this is a mini coffee maker. This is just what I was looking for to use while traveling. A recent hotel did not have provide a coffee maker and I was looking for something just like this. It fits right in my suitcase and comes with its own tiny coffee cup(approx 4 oz) and measuring spoon. It works great, just be make the plastic arm is over the coffee basket when brewing . Coffee comes out nice and hot. On/off button is on the back of the machine.
