The company is based in Italy, the machine is assembled in-house, in Europe. That does not mean anything bad except well-known problems with a pump (no surprise here considering the fact that Breville’s engineers use a pump to play a musical show), short lifetime of heating element, and that descaling is needed more often for this machine. Another Breville problem is that it is too complicated ‘under the hood’, which is a direct result of designers being in charge for creating a coffee machine. Painting around front buttons often peels. There are examples of this machine working for 10+ years without losing its functionality and appearance. Back then, Breville was focused on sandwiches. Gaggia is an Italian company that makes coffee machine for decades. This legendary model has been around since 1991 with no changes in design.

With that knowledge, we can recheck Amazon now to see what other brands offer in the same budget. Ordinary espresso machine with some funny special effects. So, as you can see now there is nothing special. It does affect the pump, however, because it just not designed to work in such mode. That is in fact, an absolutely useless musical show that does not affect coffee anyhow. Nevertheless, when it comes to that “three bursts” it makes me laught. Again, pre-brewing is nothing I can’t do manually on any other espresso machine, but it could be useful for newbies. 3 bursts of hot water is released by pump after pre-brewing to moisten the ground coffee resulting in greater build-up to extract the fullest flavor.But let’s suppose that someone might find it useful. I consider this function quite useless, especially because it leads to over-filling the drip tray more often. The same could be done with any other espresso machine, just keep the steam open for a while and let the hot water come out. After that, new cold water comes to the thermoblock, so machine is ready to serve warm water for espresso. But in reality, it’s just means that after you turn off the cappucinatore (milk frother), the water from the thermoblock will flush into the drip tray. Purge Function that automatically adjusts water temperature after steam for optimal espresso extraction temperature.Ok, they use a European-made Ulka pump that almost every coffee maker on this planet has.

However, on one day in 2001, the company was sold to Housewares International Pty Ltd. In addition, for decades their primary products were toasters and small kitchen appliances.
