I went with the Breville machines mostly cause they’re fully ready in like 3-30 seconds
They nice machines but I wanted more consistent with its pressure and water flow, better steaming, not made by breville,and made with industry standard components that can last decades.
I can’t speak to lasting decades but, for the price, I am quite happy with the quality of the coffee & steaming.
I’ve had mine for 2 years and zero issues, hoping I’ll get another 5+ out of it
It's a decent machine for the money but compared to its competitors from gaggia and rancilio what they lose in fancy programming or the pid or the easy steaming (which is still way off mine) they gain in actually having an opv (depending which one you have), build quality and self service.
I've seen far too many people have issues with breville stuff and then problems returning it. It's not that good ones don't exist it's just that more reliable does.
To put your seven years into perspective I should be getting 30 to 40 years out of mine with some regular servicing.
