Advantages: Design, Look, Speed of boil Disadvantages: None
Up until November 2008 I had always used the Breville JK52 model that was until it blown up and stopped working.
So here is a review of the item that I bought to replace the JK52 model.
I need to buy another kettle which was quick at boiling and was of course stylish. As I had had my last Breville since November 2005 I was more than happy to buy another Breville.
I decided on the Breville JK119 Model

I have just replaced my Gaggia Titanium which after 3 months decided to break down. I decided rather than replace with the same machine to go with the much-praised Jura machines. The Z5 particularly appealed with it's unique One-Touch Cappucino function, which avoids the clumsy looking "automatic frothing attachments" found on so many machines.
The machine was easy to set up, and has almost the same footprint as the Titanium, so doesn't take up too much space. It comes with a classy looking thermal milk container (1 litre) which keeps milk at the ready and chilled for up to 8 hours. The front of the machine is brushed aluminium (not plastic as in many of the Jura machines) which is far easier to keep clean than the Titanium's brushed stainless steel (fingerprints!).
The display prompts are clear (product names such as "1 espresso ...
Advantages: User friendly, toasts quickly and so easy to keep clean Disadvantages: The catch can be a little tight to close
there hands with the idea. But the most popular brand has to be from the boffins at the Australian company known as Breville, who have created many different types of sandwich toasters.
The sandwich toaster I actually own, and have done for a while now, is from the mentioned Breville range and is, in my opinion, a godsend when it comes to creating warm sandwiches for all the family, in a matter of minutes.
** THE TECHNICAL BITS first?
This sandwich toaster comes with removable easy to clean, dishwasher safe, heating plates to toast your bread and melt the filling to perfection.
It has a simple single heat setting with a built in thermostat to so the ?plates? never exceed a set temperature, the little green and red light taking turns to illuminate dependant on the units temperature.
Unfortunately though ...
