" ... Its easy to use, easy to clean, easy to maintain and beautiful on the counter!!! ... "
" ... I now remove and clean the steam wand tip and flush the wand after each use . ... Auto-cleaning by pouring milk and water to the water catch bin is a recipe for some nasty smelling stuff, unless you're constantly cleaning it. ... I'd rather just manually clean it myself, but I can't find a way to disable this feature. ... "
" ... Love the milk steamer and that it self cleans the wand every time you use it. ... "
" ... 2. cleaning is imperative. ... "
" ... Having to pack the puck, attach to the machine, and dumping and rinsing it is a small price to pay for superior coffee and actually takes less time to do than maintaining any of the fully automatic ones that are supposed to improve “efficiency” and don’t. ... "
" ... It's easy to use and easy to clean. ... "
" ... It is also easy to clean and maintain. ... "
" ... The wand self cleans which is amazing. ... We'll see how the cleaning process goes but if I follow the instructions on the screen, I'm sure it'll be easy. ... "

" ... The reservoir rusted at the base within a few months. ... "
" ... Worked well until it didn't. ... This is our second Breville device that didn't make it longer than two years. ... For a machine that's over $1,000 to not last two years is pretty bad. ... "
" ... They said they could send me a new one, but after 2 out of 2 machines failed within 2 months or immediately, you really have to question the quality of the product and their quality control. ... "
" ... After 1 week of use…. ... "
" ... Machine stopped working. ... "
" ... I have tried everything, but it seems nothing worked. ... "
" ... I tried for a month to pull a good shot of this and couldn’t do it. ... "
" ... The first time, the machine lasted a year before having issues. ... While I didn’t pay $1,000 for a machine to last a year, I did think it had to a be a fluke that it didn’t last. ... "

" ... I opted for the touch over the Pro or other models mainly for the auto-milk steaming feature. ... "
" ... Second great feature-the grinder. ... You can also use the frother in manual mode if you want, which is a great added feature but the automatic mode is good enough to make latte Art…that is if you know how to actually make latte art unlike me. ... "
