I concur with two of your comments. I purchased this machine to replace a Breville Express BES870 machine, first and foremost the non-removable bean hopper is a big negative. If you wish to change the beans, you have in the hopper for something different it’s a pain. The Breville you could remove the hopper and the beans if you wanted to change from caffeinated to decaffeinated or back again. The jug is too small, and I think the lack of an in thank water filter (which the Breville had) is unfortunate.

The basket is heavy giving you a feeling that it is solid and professional. The tamper is just the right weight to ensure that you are getting a good pack without being too tight. There are a variety of settings that can be used such as Americano, Espresso and Hot Water. The varied temperatures ensure the perfect drink every time.
