    I love my coffee machine this is my second. It makes fantastic foamy coffee.
    I would have no other coffee machine.

    i just got my Briel Versatile C9 from ebay for 600. the price was right. now that i have had it for a week here are my comments. first of all, it will not replace going to a coffee shop and sitting outside and enjoying a nice latte while people watching. So there is no money to be saved if you think you are going to stay home and get the same quality coffee, not to mention the experience of going out. the coffee it makes is not great. first of all it is lukewarm. even on its hottest setting, i n ...

    I've had mine 3 years and it's been used heavily. It produces excellent results but of late it's developed problems and is struggling. For those who want a machine that's not going to get heavy use it's a cost effective solution that will deliver what your looking for. For heavy use it's probably worth splashing out for something more robust but you would have to splash out quite a bit more.

    Overall I find the Briel Versatile Due a great machine. I wanted a bean to cup machine but could not afford one - in my opinion this Coffee machine is the next best thing.

    Our Briel Versatile Due has always worked well and when using Illy ground coffee it makes coffee that can't be bettered anywhere. I can't comment on milk function as I only make black coffee. It slowed down but descaling cured that very easily. We've had the machine around 2 years and love it.

    I bought this Briel Versatile Due on the strength of the Which report but have been very disappointed especially with the steamer. Its hit and miss with the foam and only really does 2 cups well after that the steamer can't cope.

    I have had my Briel Versatile Due for over two and a half years, I have been delighted with it since day one. I treat it well by de-scaling it regularly and keeping it clean. My house is the 'good coffee house' with family and friends. It is in use every day. My biggest fear is being unable to replace it should I eventually have to.

    Best cup of coffee I've tasted. Had Briel Versatile Due for two years. My folks have had one for longer. Both used every day. Never a problem. Would buy one tomorrow if it broke. Not cheap but worth every penny so far.

    At first seemed a very machine, cost quite a bit, however water leaked into the electrics and it broke. Would not buy this brand again, expensive mistake.

    I'm glad i read the comments on this site as I thought I was the only person struggling with my Briel Versatile Due, it's useless in my opinion. I've gone back to purchasing individual filter pots and will take it down the local car boot sale!

    Eventually, after taking the Briel Versatile coffee machine apart (several times) I located the problem (with the electronic circuit board) and arranged repairs myself. Although the maker works okay now I have been put off Briel and would not buy another of their products.

    Bought the first Briel Versatile Due coffee machine from Red Monkey who replaced it after a few weeks when it went faulty (leak caused electrics failure). The next one had a leak on delivery and the next failed quickly. Red Monkey were excellent in dealing with the problems by sending replacements each time, I have to recommend them. My advice is just don't buy anything Briel.

    Do not buy a Briel Versatile Due, or any other Briel. If it's anything like mine, I'm sure you WILL be sorry.
    I would suggest that judging from the usernames the last 2 good reviews are actually from the suppliers in Portugal?

    Buy a much cheaper one or a much more expensive one, but I will never buy Briel again!

    What a hopeless machine did this turn out to be. It would be cheaper to go to a coffee shop 3 times a day than buy this machine. I can only imagine you will be disappointed too if you buy this machine.

    For the price the Briel Versatile Due is a nice machine, with good quality coffee coming out of it, so what more can you wish for?!

    The Briel Versatile Due is an excellent espresso coffee. Good steam. This machine is top sales all over the world. From the factory they assured me that whenever I need spare parts they gladly would assist me.
    They were very nice and gentle with me.

    Had the machine 18 months, first problem I had was last week when it stopped pumping water through. This was because I had been lazy and never de-scaled the machine. Once I did this, back to full working order. Used many times a day and stands up to the job, excellent value for money.

    Good when it works. It died after a year of usage. Leaking issues, filter problems. And to top it all the UK representative does not sell them anymore making this product not supported in the UK.

    Very good coffee. Rubber seal has blown twice in less than a year - with relatively light use. Review based on home use for one year
