Featured in Money Magazine's Top Pick for best espresso machine:
  • Ease of use: Logical controls and effortless operation
  • Delivers a smooth-tasting espresso
  • Ease of cleaning

    The Espresso Machine's body, controls and tamping head are formed using the highest-grade aluminum and zinc. The result is the ultimate in durability and performance, and a more refined finish. With a full 4.5 inch clearance, this is the first machine designed to accommodate larger cups and travel mugs, making it ideal not just for Espresso, but for Cappuccino and Café Latte. The fully die-cast selector dial enables simple switching between Espresso, steam and hot water. Alternate between hot water and steam using the illuminating solid steel buttons. Prior to extraction, the unique 15 bar Triple-Prime pump automatically releases three bursts of hot water into the filter head, causing the ground coffee or Espresso pod to expand. This increases pressure, allowing the machine to extract more crema, giving the coffee a rich, smooth texture and taste. The stainless steel steam wand is mounted on a swivel ball for easy maneuverability. It produces continuous dry steam for barista-style milk and froth. The wand also dispenses hot water on demand.

    The opinion of an Italian guy.

    "I'm an Italian that immigrated to Canada a few years ago. So first thing, I need to tell you a little secret about espresso machines. Many Italian coffee aficionados will tell you this: Never expect a domestic-type or personal espresso coffee machine (home type) to brew the exact same kind of coffee you get in an Italian coffee shop (that's the reason why I'm giving this Breville a 4.5/5 instead of a perfect sco..."

    Great for the first month

    "After having a Starbucks Barrista for about 4 years and I don't remember how many Krups before that I was THRILLED that I was spending the money on a top of the line espresso maker of my very own. It was WONDERFUL for about the first month. Then the "issues" came up. First there is the thing about cleaning the coffee basket with a little tool every week or so, which enables you to actually make the espresso. T..." Read Full Review »
