Overview
A semi-automatic espresso machine with a 1650W steam wand for microfoam milk texturing, volumetric shot buttons, low pressure pre-infusion and digital PID temperature control adjustable in 2 degree increments.
Breville's low pressure pre-infusion ramps pressure up gradually at the start of a shot rather than hitting the puck at full force immediately, aimed at drawing flavor out more evenly. It ships with single and dual wall filter baskets, a scoop, a stainless steel milk jug, a cleaning disc and tablets, a cleaning tool and a water filter with holder, and it carries a 1-year limited warranty.
- 1650W steam wand for microfoam milk
- Volumetric single/double shot buttons
- Digital PID temp control, 2 degree increments
- 61 oz water tank, 1-year warranty
Who it's for
Home baristas moving up from an entry level or pod machine who want to learn proper grind and dose rather than press one button and walk away.
Pros and cons
- Real learning curve to dial in grind and dose
- At least one reported failure after about 1.5 years
- Limited temperature range may run hot for very light roasts
Performance notes
The volumetric shot buttons set exact pour amounts for single or double shots, and the PID controller holds water temperature within a narrow, adjustable range rather than letting it drift, which several long term owners credit for consistent results once dialed in. An auto-purge cycle resets the heating system after steaming so the next shot pulls at the right temperature.
