I really enjoyed the brewer, but it came with a few caveats that I cannot get over with. On a positive side, Breville Precision Brewer BDC450 comes with an extraordinary feature set that allowed me to brew coffee the way I like it. I was able to customize the machine to brew beverages that I love day after day. However, I did not find Breville to be super transparent about the materials, plastics and chemicals included in this machine. Though visually stunning, there are plastic parts. In my opinion, if it sells for $$$$, the price-to-value is just good. If it sells for anything more, it becomes less attractive.
