Breville Expresso Maker EXL 800 Review

We have owned the EXL 800 Breville Espresso Maker for about one year now and still like having this appliance.  It is fairly easy to tamp the grounds to make either a one or two shot espresso.

I have made several lattes and cappuccinos with the steam function.  I do not quite have the process down of how much milk to use yet, but I keep working at it!  It can be a little tedious to clean the steam wand, but not so bad that I am not wanting the machine or will quit using that function.

The wand dispenses hot water as well, and we have used this to make instant regular coffee (such as Starbucks' via) or to have a hot cup of tea.

This model also has the cup warmer on the top, so you have to remember to not set anything on top of the machine if you leave it on.

The water tank is simple to fill and cleaning everything else is not bad at all.
