Keurig

This is a decent brewer when it was working. I owned it for about a year and it broke. I tried descaling it, cleaning it, and even taking it apart after nothing worked. When it worked it was loud when heating the water. I contacted breville and they took forever to get back to me. They wanted me to send it back and wait weeks why they repair it. It wasn't worth it; I drink coffee everyday. The good points about this brewer include: it looks nice, and it has a large water tank. I threw it in the trash and got a keurig and it works great. For $250 dollars there is no way the breville was worth it.

I always thought I would pay more and get the best. While I do get great coffee, I was and still am - after a year - extremely disappointed to hear the noise made by the "top of the line" brewer right from the box. The mid-price Platinum model has almost absolute silence and basically the same options. I would recommend the Platinum. Very sad that your best Brewer, Keurig, does not have the best of your available quality features - like silence!
