Not only did I like the resulting rich espresso that the unit extracted, but I also liked the "sub zero" stainless steel look of the machine.

It's commercial in quality and performance, easy to use and produces an espresso or cappuccino as good as you can get at the local coffee bar or restuarant, without having to leave your home.

I tried using the coffee pods for the first time and the result was even better than use with ground coffee (which was alreay good!). Besides the coffee result, there was no messing cleanup, no grinding of coffee and the mess involved with the process, no worries about the correct amount of coffee to place in the filter basket and no concern about tamping the coffee either too much or not enough. The pod works beautifully with this machine.

After all of the above, I decided to shop around. I called BRIEL directly in Atlanta and they suggested that we check out the BRIEL STORE at amazon.com. Clicking onto this site gave us all of the information that we needed to know concerning BRIEL and we made our selection with ease and without complications.

I'mextremely happy with this machine and can recommend it to someone whois serious not only about having a great espresso or cappuccino (Ihave also used hot water from turbo frother arm for making hot tea),but also for a great looking, hi-tech appliance for the counter, thattakes up very little space.

Simply put, it's as GOOD AS YOU CAN GET!

After all of the above, I decided to shop around. I called BRIEL directly in Atlanta and they told me that amazon could get me a unit and ship it in time for the holidays. When I learned the price was lower than my friend paid for their's, I simply ordered the machine and told no one that I paid less.
