 Love It! October 30, 2008

After searching around for a single-cup brewer, I finally settled on this product. This was after seeing the positive reviews here on Amazon. At first, I was not too keen on the fact of using K-Cups, but now after a few weeks of use, I realize that they are very convenient and generally the coffee or tea tastes pretty darn good. Also, with the My K-Cup, I can use whatever ground beans I so desire which eliminates the need to be soley dependent on other K-Cups. All in all, I am very happy with my purchase and highly recommend it.
 Overall...AWESOME. A few design flaws, though.... October 30, 2008

Yeah! I now have a hot beverage station on my kitchen counter for guests to pick whatever they want, be it coffee, hot chocolate, tea. I've just set my machine up and I've already had two cups! Yum.
Here are a few quick tips:
1. I put a small amount of dairy (or soy milk) in a mug and microwave for 30 seconds to heat it up, then put mug on the Breville machine and press brew - beverage stays much hotter for longer period of time.
2. Have a kitchen towel on hand to wipe occasional spatters unless you're using a really tall mug, and clean under the spout too.
3. It does vibrate loudly, so I put a soft rubber coaster in the drip tray (with still enough room for drainage just in case) and the vibration from your mug and the metal tray is substantially reduced.
One design drawback...you can't keep the neat blue light on without keeping the machine constantly on, which heats the water and is a waste of energy. Oh well. In all other respects, this machine is amazing. But what really sold me is the refillable K-cup so I can use my own ground coffee; I have gripes about consumables like with inkjet printers...so that's a nice feature to have. Yeah, it's pricey, but I spend on average $5 at a local coffee shop daily because I also buy something to eat...but bringing the coffee shop home and eating my own food is helping to recover the cost here and save money in the long haul. Plus, Chicago winters are brutal so I don't even need to leave the house for a good cup of coffee! A big plus.
I hope this review is helpful to you.
 noisy k-cup machine October 24, 2008

I love k-cups and have had 2 other machines since 2004. This one looks good but very noisy. The commercial grade keurig holds more water and a lot more quiet.

Breville BKC600XL Gourmet Single-Cup Coffee Brewer
Looks great. Went through the priming and setup verbatim. It shook like a banshee for about 10 minutes, then went to heat mode, but never heated the water. Hopefully the return process will be smooth.

LOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT ! I'd marry it if I could. This machine is worth every cent that we paid. There is just no comparision to the cheaper machines, both aesthetically and functionally. It does a fantastic job. It has a nice big 60 oz resevoir, which a lot of the other cheaper models do not have. It is so convenient, that we now find ouorselves making bevvies at all times of the day. Coffee in the morning, decaf in the evening. Although my 4 year old thinks that it is her own personal hot cocoa maker ! Top notch quality too, both the unit itself and its output. Nice looking, I love the blue lights. It even beeps to remind you that the resevoir needs more water (by "you", I mean the "non-filling" spouse) My mom in law loved it so much, I have aleady bought her one for Christmas. The only trouble you'll have with this machine is deciding which of the hundreds of brews you'll try next !
