The Breville One-Touch CoffeeHouse Coffee Machine is currently available on Amazon for £125.54, reduced from its £199.99 RRP, saving £74.45 (37 percent). The machine holds a 4.2-star rating from more than 1,868 reviews.
Features and Specifications
Finished in black, the coffee machine is designed to prepare espresso, cappuccino and latte drinks using One-Touch Technology, allowing users to select their preferred coffee with the press of a button. According to Breville, the machine is also compatible with ESE pods, while single and double espresso filters provide additional flexibility.
At the heart of the machine is a 19-Bar Italian pump, which Breville says delivers the pressure needed to extract robust coffee flavours and create café-style drinks at home.
The machine includes a 600ml removable milk reservoir, allowing milk to be stored in the fridge when not in use. An adjustable milk frother is designed to create a variety of drinks, from cappuccinos with thick foam to smoother lattes.
Practical Design
Another practical feature is the height-adjustable cup tray, which allows both smaller espresso cups and larger mugs to fit comfortably beneath the dispenser. The machine also has a removable drip tray for easy cleaning.
Customer Reviews
Many users have praised its ease of use and ability to produce café-style drinks at home. One enthusiastic owner wrote: "Best decision of my life. My wife loves it and is very happy. I got the title of best husband ever. Worth every penny."
Not every review was completely positive. One customer commented: "Whilst I love this machine, it leaks like a sieve. I'm on my second one and still haven't found where it leaks from. It is also quite difficult to clean inside the dispenser head."
Another reviewer praised the flexibility of the machine, writing: "Superb piece of kit for the money. Preset latte or cappuccino options, or you can easily make drinks to your own taste using the custom settings."
A further customer highlighted the milk frothing system, saying: "Very easy to use, quick heating and it's handy being able to keep the milk part in the fridge. The milk foam is very nice for both cappuccinos and lattes."
One less satisfied owner reported reliability concerns after extended use, writing: "It worked so well and then stopped letting the water out properly. I've had it just over a year and expected it to last longer. It made great lattes and black coffee, but I wouldn't buy it again."
Alternatives
If you're considering alternatives, the Ninja Prestige DualBrew System is currently available from Ninja for £179.99, reduced from £249.99. Another option is the De'Longhi Mag Start ECAM220.60.B Automatic Coffee Machine, currently priced at £320.
Overall, many reviewers praised the machine's ease of use, one-touch drink selection and milk frothing capabilities. While some reported maintenance and reliability issues, others felt it delivered an excellent balance of convenience and coffee quality for the price.
