Makes Great Coffee, but these machines break down readily – I have had two Cafe Roma units and one Venezia over the last number of years. The first Roma broke down (pump) in about 18mo and it was replaced by Breville out of warranty. The replacement unit also packed it in the same way. We have had the Venezia unit for just as long and it now has a leaky pressure unit that will not hold pressure.

I will not be buying another Breville Expresso Maker, but don't want to pay more than $400. good coffee bu tnot worth the extra price compared the Roma breaks down catastrophically/ soon after warranty
