Breville, a well known Australian company, has grown famous for creating small home appliances since the 1930s. It even has branched out to manufacture coffee machines for Nespresso, a household name for coffee makers. 

We were excited to have the opportunity to review the Breville Infuser Espresso Machine recently and are here to share our findings. This unique espresso maker is hard to compare to the rest because of its unique capabilities.

What Makes This Espresso Machine Special? 

First of all, as the name aptly implies, the Breville Infuser Espresso Machine provides a velvety smooth, well-balanced flavor of coffee by using even extraction to “draw out” the flavors from the coffee grounds. 

Rather than start out with a high-pressure burst of power like other espresso machines, this Breville “pre-infuses” ground coffee. It uses steady water pressure that expands the grinds gently. This, in turn, creates a more even extraction and better-balanced espresso flavor, cup after cup, pour after pour. 

But that’s not all that the Breville Infuser offers. Some other added features important to note are:

  • – 1600W Thermocoil Heating System. Heats water “on-demand” for better temperature consistency and gives the user control of temperature with extreme precision. 
  • – Espresso Pressure Gauge. Helps monitor espresso extraction pressure for the perfect pour every time with no under-or over-extracting. 
  • – Auto Purge Function. Automatically adjusts the temperature of the water after the steam process.
  • – Dry Puck Feature. This neat feature removes extra water after coffee extraction. This allows easy removal of any dried puck. 
  • – Volumetric Control Function. Set shot volumes for perfect pour amounts.

In addition to these awesome features already mentioned, there’s also the included cup warmer on top of the machine. This coffee machine also includes “sleep mode” and “auto-shutoff” to turn off the machine on its own after use. We also love the fact that this Breville has a tall clearance to fill travel mugs with ease!

Why Should I Buy This Espresso Machine? 

The Breville doesn’t just limit you to espresso – the included hot water only feature lets users create almost any drink fathomable and looks good while doing it. We love this machine’s professional look and feel and that it doesn’t take up too much counter space. 

If you’re looking for an impressive but not overwhelming appliance that will allow you to bring barista-level drinks to any home crowd, the Breville Infuser delivers.

Our Verdict

We recommend this machine to anyone looking for a special and different coffee experience than most – all while having easy to use controls and methods.

 

Not only will you be happy with the amazing flavor and taste of your homemade espressos, but you’ll be impressed by the performance time after time with the Breville Infuser.
