Utter Garbage, Don't Waste your Money! – Continually let down by this atrocious machine. Pods regularly not pierced so no coffee, no consistency of drink size, often leaks water all over the kitchen counter, and frequently doesn't power on. Show details
Excellent first machine for Nespresso beginners – Bought this machine exactly 4 years ago when deciding to embark on the Nespresso lifestyle for financial and environmental reasons. It did not disappoint. The machine is simple and easy to use as long as you follow the instructions and be mindful that any machine with electronic programmings needs to be treated like a computer, and be properly… Read more
started up or shut down.
I am not going to comment on the quality of coffee it produces as each person's taste can vary quite a bit. But in saying this I'm certainly not implying that it makes bad coffee. I'm just not as fussy as a coffee critic.
The machine is now retired with all functions still fully operational albeit sustaining some minor physical damages to the frother lid, and a stained pods and overflow tray. Wife just decided it's time that we move on to a higher spec machine and it just happened that a great deal was available to us from a retailer.
In short, UMilk did a fantastic job inducting us into the world of Nespresso.
Ruined my countertop – This damage was caused by Nespresso machine to my countertop. Response from Nespresso, ZERO. No response to emails, I have follow up with calls, shifting responsibility. Bad communication. Suggestions please Show details

Extremely disappointed with purchase and service – I purchased a Nespresso U Milk machine in April 2017. Worked well for only a few months. I called the service number and advised them that the machine was leaking water from beneath the machine where the power cord comes out from the machine. Was sent a new water tank but this did not solve them problem. Called again and was told that the machine… Read more
was in descaling mode and to press the 3 buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds and it would right itself. None of these suggestions has worked and I am not prepared to try anything again as I feel it is dangerous with water coming from the power cord area. I also felt that the way the service staff speak to you is in a very defensive manner and you feel you are being accused for miss treatment of the machine. For this reason I will not called the service desk back and will accept that I have made a wrong decision when purchasing this machine. I will source another branded machine but will look into pre purchase reviews and after purchase service.
Better choice when using a mug! – I recently purchased and reviewed the Nespresso Prodigio Machine, and submitted a review for that particular machine,I have since replaced it, with the U Milk, the reason was not because of anything wrong with the first machine, i loved the machine and how hot the froth and coffee was,the only thing was, that we like to have our coffee in a mug as… Read more
opposed to a cup.
The Prodigio had a drop down cup tray that was not low enough to be able to fit a mug under the spout, the only way was to push up the cup tray and slide the cup up against the tray to hold it up, the problem was that every couple of pours the vibration of the machine caused the tray to come down slightly which meant the the coffee started spraying between the tray and the cup spilling everywhere.
I have now bought the U milk, it has a magnetic cup tray that i can slide out of the way when using a mug, so is really the better choice for me.
I love the Nespresso machines and the Nespresso coffees, and will continue using them.
I again would like to reiterate that the Prodigio Machine is a great little coffee machine, but the U Milk is the better and more suited on for me.
Unbelievably user friendly coffee machine – It had been 1 year and 9 months since i bought this Breville Nespresso UMilk from the good guys. I remember they were on 20% OFF all stock special for $199. I decided to write a review for it because i think this machine is so reliable after so many cups made and easy to use that it should be introduced to people who is interesting of buying it. … Read more
Firstly this machine is 100% capable with Nespresso capsule which i believe has the best taste on the market.
Secondly this machine comes with integrated milk frother for the convenience of milky cappuccinos. It is ready to brew in just 25 seconds. Simply open the slider put the capsule in then close the slider the rest is automated including ejection of empty capsules. A wasted capsules tank is able to hold 10~12 empty captules. Milk frother and water tank are removable which makes it easy for clean.
This machine is so reliable that after nearly 2 years of usage the taste of my coffee that it makes still remains perfect. It is still going strong. Love to having it.
Positive reviews
great machine – This coffee machine is the perfect coffee machine for making a good coffee yourself. It’s also very good quality and lasts years, that’s not to mention that it is easy to clean and empty as well. Will buy another once mine does eventually stop working or start to play up.

Omg! Its amazing – I live with four other house mates and all five of us are massive coffee drinkers. This Breville Nespresso U BEC300 is perfect for our household and is part of the family! We use it every morning, there are great tasting real coffee and a vast variety of flavors, so simple quick and easy to use, and takes 3seconds to clean! We absolutely love it Show details
Nescresso – very good machine am very happy with it... easy to easy take the parts off and wash it you can put cappachino pods or black coffee in it very good machine for a present either for Christmas for birthday or parties even for work I recommend them its a good small machine Show details
Negative reviews
It was good for a while – I’ve had this model for 12 months. The machine looks great and makes great coffee, but after a few months coffee pods refused to eject automatically. I had to push them down with a finger, or the next pod wouldn’t work. Even then, I sometimes had to insert pods a few times. The overflow chamber sometimes fills after one or two cups. In fact, the… Read more
machine has flooded the bench sometimes after one cup. It has also been inconsistent with how much coffee it puts in a mug on the same setting. For the first 6 months it was 5 stars, but the last 6 months its been 2 stars, so I will give it a 3 overall.
Pretty much sucks! – Not liking this machine much at all. Purchased as a gift for my coffee obsessed hubby but have had this for over a year now and just a few months in it started to stuff up. CONS: > capsule compartment lid gets stuck and doesn’t want to open to insert a coffee pod. Have to turn power of and on, press a million buttons, wiggle it around and when… Read more
it decides it releases.
> i haven’t owned a coffee machine prior to this one but for me I find it extremely loud. Just expected it to be a lot quieter.
> the speed at which it disperses water is slow, definitely not like they show in the ads.
> milk frother is absolutely shocking. The milk literally overflows out of the frother and leaks under the machine every time, and this is me filling it up on just the lowest line not even to the max.
PROS:
> looks nice
> simple to use
> easy to clean
> good tasting coffee
Overall if I were to go back i wouldn’t buy it, just expected better for a Nespresso!
I wish it wouldn't keep breaking – It makes great coffee and the milk frother works great it just keeps breaking, every 2 months something breaks inside and the water goes straight into the empty capsule tray and I have to send it away to be repaired, Nespresso are great about it and always send a loan machine whilst being repaired, I have said to them I want a new machine but they… Read more
said no they must repair, it has been back 3 times so hope this is it and now fixed as when it is working it's really a great machine

Great, good looking machine for the price – I purchased this around six months ago and have had nothing but great experiences using it so far. I used to own a Nescafe machine and this is a definite upgrade, well worth the money. The machine itself is easy to use, super easy to clean and doesn't really require any special maintenance other than cleaning the milk jug thoroughly every… Read more
few days to prevent build-up in the bottom of the jug.
Would recommend this to anybody looking for a convenient, affordable coffee machine.
Perfect – Purchased this 2 yrs ago for husbands birthday. Still going strong after daily use. Easy to use and clean. White still looks brand new. Obviously the biggest cost is the capsules. The machine itself is still in tip top shape. I would highly recommend it. Even better when they have cash rebates. Show details
Love it – The taste of the coffee from this machine is always good. The machine itself is quite easy to use, however I have to look up on Google how to initiate things (de scaling, re calibrating etc) which sometimes gets a little irritating. The water is easy to fill up and the milk warmer is easy to use and clean. As it’s an older machine I’m impressed that it is still working as good as the day we got it. Show details
so easy to use, barista coffee quality – I am very happy about this little nespresso machine. I dont have a big kitchen space and this is the smallest on the market with the best quality coffee! Easy to clean and never disappoint! i have had it over 2 years now, no problem at al. recommend to everyone! Show details
good machine – i have this machine for four year. using it everyday. i love all coffee from Nespresso. My wife just can't stop ordering them. this machine is very easy to use just like insert capsule, close the tab and the machine will start making coffee. my mother in law usually not do any house work at home but except this machine.

Warranty Service was great! – My husband got this as a present and loves it. He has used it at least once a day for the past 12 months (if not twice a day). I don't drink coffee but haven't heard any complaints about taste from him. My compliment is one the customer service we received when I made a warranty claim. Husband was making coffee when we heard a clunk into the… Read more
capsule compartment. Had a look and a white piece had fallen out of the machine. I rang nespresso who organised a pickup for the following day and a loan machine. Pickup was fine. Didn't hear from them for awhile so I rang and they said it would be at least 10 business days from pickup (this was after a week but we were going away the following week). The machine turned up that night and they had cleaned it so well it looked brand new. Pretty happy with how easy they made the whole process.
Love it – Absolutely love my new coffee machine. It is small, narrow and compact and fits nicley on the bench. The nespresso coffee machine brand make purchasing coffee pods easy as so many are compatable. The machine comes with the milk machine which too is great. Quick and easy to make, making my morning coffee enjoyable and cheaper then buying it Show details
Love It! – I bought a Breville Nespresso UMilk in White from Harvey Norman Bundall last month. They were offering a great special of $229 and then on top of that Nespresso were offering a $40 cash back and $60 coffee credit. I must admit, the main reason I purchased this unit was the colour. I specifically wanted a white model to go with my décor. But… Read more
despite my reasoning, I couldn't be happier. This is such an easy unit to operate. I've had the full wiz bang machine in the past that we foolishly forked out $3k for, but we hardly ever used it because it was just so complicated. In stark contrast, this machine is simple to use and so easy to clean. And to be honest, the coffee tastes just as good as it does with our $3k machine. There isn't one thing I don't like about this product. I absolutely love it!

Love it – Had one of these machines for years and it is an excellent little machine I thought that I had broken it because it stopped working properly so I bought another one but when I took the old one apart I found that it was just locked up with coffee you when I cleaned it put it back together it started working again perfectly Show details
Great Coffee and Cheap – The coffee is as good as coffee's from the cafe, and my boyfriend absolutely loves it! it's easy enough to clean as long as you rinse the milk out straight away. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because it's not very environmentally friendly - the pods are recyclable but you have to take the to special drop off points as they are too small to be recycled if you put them in the yellow bin. Show details
Cafe quality at home! – I love this machine! It took a few tries to work out the milk, I like less foam and turn the milk off just before it finishes for a smoother, creamier milk. The Nespresso capsules are delicious and my husband and I have each found a favourite flavour. Easy to clean and simple to use. I've had it and used it daily for over 4 years and never had an issue.

Coffee addict ! Great product – I'd never purchased a coffee machine before, but I wanted to bless my hubby for his bday .. we are both coffee lovers I knew it would be good but didn't expect it to be so great .. we can't get enough of it now. We use it fir expresso martinis also .. it's very easy to use Show details
Love this Machine – This is the first coffee machine we have ever bought and we just love it. It is so easy to use and makes beautiful coffee and I mostly love the froth. My kids use the milk frother for their drinks. It is very easy to clean and the pods are very affordable. Show details
Perfect! – This machine is so simple to use, makes beautiful coffee every time for a fraction of the cost you could buy one at a cafe for all in the comfort of your home. It froths the milk beautifully and you can choose from 3 strengths for your coffee. Amazing product! Show details
Love this coffee! – Love this coffee machine! The coffee tastes so nice and a good strength! I love how easy it is to put the pod in the top. I purchased the u-milk and don't like how the attachment doesnt come off so i can't move it - i just heat it up in the microwave now instead of using the milk frother as it didn't really fill up my mugs. Love it though. Show details
Works perfectly, milk frother is an amazing addition to the kitchen – Naturally, the milk frother gets used for milos, hot chocolates, ovaltines and chai lattes, in addition to coffee. The machine itself is small and compact and fits nicely on our counter-top without taking up oodles of space. It's also easy to move around for when we re-arrange our collection of counter-top appliances or for when we clean. It's… Read more
easy to clean, easy to use and hasn't failed even after four adults have used it on average 8 times a day since it was aquired. Best birthday present ever (and it wasn't even my birthday).

The efficient Thermoblock heating system delivers fast heat-up and ensures water is heated to the required temperature for preparing espresso and texturing milk. Finally, the designed crema system helps to create a great tasting Show details
Great tasting coffee where foam is life! – Extremely happy with the user friendly machine. It is extremely easy to maintain and keep clean. Compact amd stylish. Milk frother is easy to use and clean. It takes home coffees to the next level with restaurant quality at the drop of a pod and click of a button. Pods are expensive but worth it. Show details
Cant live without it – We brought our machine at the boxing day sales. they also had a money back promo, which they deposited $50 back into my account. This is Such an easy machine to use, heats milk quickly. Pods are easy to buy online or in store and great taste and variety of pods to choose from. Highly Highly recommend this product. Great choice of coffee size as well. Show details
Love it! – Quick, easy and I love the choice in coffees. So convenient when I'm trying to organise the kids and get a caffeine kick. We only had one small issue( our fault, my husband lost the lid) nd customer service could not have been more helpful. Will definitely buy another Nespresso when it's time to upgrade Show details
A good product – Our family is happy with the taste of this coffee. The taste is alike the coffee bought in the cafe. Also, it's easy to use, especially making the latte or milky coffee. The most important point is the machine is easy to clean after using, saving much time for us. Show details
