    Has anyone tried this and compared this against the Breville machines?

      How long does it take to heat up and how is maintenance like?

        I went through two Breville machines in four years, the first replaced under warranty and the second they couldn’t repair so I gave up on them. Every twelve months I was replacing the o-rings on the top of the boilers to avoid the inevitable leaking. The Appartmento has no adjustments for temp or pre-infusion, nor does it have a built in wake-in-the-morning feature. But despite all this, it makes a much better coffee and even though it isn’t a dual boiler the steam is much more powerful. And there’s no reason to ever discard it, whereas the Brevilles end up being thrown away.

          Warm-up is around 20 minutes I believe, but I’ve never timed it. I haven’t done any maintenance yet but while I had it partially apart to swap out the decorative panels I noticed that it was built very nicely.
