Specification read on wholelattelove.com, 2026-08-18. CoffeeLabAdvisor has not independently evaluated this espresso machine.
A dual-boiler, 58 mm semi-automatic espresso machine: one stainless-steel boiler for brewing and a second for steam, so milk can be steamed while a shot is pulled.
Who it may suit
learning to texture milk yourself — the wand is manual from the specification
steaming milk and brewing at the same time — two boilers (or two thermoblocks) from the specification
the standard 58 mm accessory ecosystem — baskets, tampers and portafilters from any maker from the specification
may suit — several drinks in a row without refilling — a 2.4 L tank or larger from the specification
When it may not fit
you expected a grinder included — budget for a separate one from the specification
counter width is tight — this one is 35 cm wide or more from the specification
A dual-boiler, 58 mm semi-automatic espresso machine: one stainless-steel boiler for brewing and a second for steam, so milk can be steamed while a shot is pulled.
Two stainless-steel boilers, brew and steam — the only Breville in our catalog with a true dual-boiler layout; the Bambino, Barista Express and Barista Pro use a single ThermoJet or ThermoCoil heater.
58 mm portafilter, the commercial standard, where the rest of the Breville range we hold uses a 54 mm group.
41.3 cm wide, 38.1 cm deep and 13.6 kg — the widest Breville in our catalog.
2.5 L tank, 1,700 W, a 2-year warranty and $1,600 at the source read date (2026-08-18).
