Balanced flavors are drawn evenly from all the grinds. So what is the best way to prepare the grinds for an even extraction? Rather than starting with bursts of high pressure, a steady low pressure pre-infusion gently expands the grinds before stepping up to high pressure for an even extraction.

Balanced flavors are drawn evenly from all the grinds. So what is the best way to prepare the grinds for an even extraction? Rather than starting with bursts of high pressure, a steady low pressure pre-infusion gently expands the grinds before stepping up to high pressure for an even extraction. Electronic PID temperature control delivers increased temperature stability for a better tasting cup and high power 1600W for high pressure steam and faster heat up. Voltage range is 110-120 Volts.

The Breville BES840XL vs the Breville Double Boiler: a surprising shoot-out result Bottom line: I was expecting the Double Boiler to blow the BES840XL out of the water when it came to shot quality. That was not the case at all. While the milk texturing capability of the 840 is a pale shadow of the DB, and it lacks the multitude of convenience features of the DB, the 840 absolutely holds its own with regards to shot quality.Full review:I’ve been using the Breville Double Boiler espresso machine for nearly a year and have been very pleased with it. I was hesitant at first, but great shots and the many, many convenience features won me over. So, when the opportunity came up to compare their top of the line Double Boiler (DB) with their new machine (I’ll call it the 840) I thought it wouldn’t be a fair fight. Well, I was wrong.I’ve never been a fan of thermoblock machines since the temperature stability is just not there. Breville seems to have solved that using two methods. First, the thermoblock is really a thermocoil — it’s a solid…
“The Infuser” vs. the “Barista Express” – Breville Espresso Comparison If you can’t decide between the two, maybe I can help. I’ve owned the almost 2 years. Eleven months into my 1-year warranty, I woke up to find water all over the counter. Breville has superior customer service and replaced my leaking Barista Express within a week. Two weeks ago I woke up to the same thing with the warranty replacement. It turns out that the Barista Express has a 2 piece ThermoBLOCK heater and the gasket where the 2 pieces join together eventually leaks.This new Infuser has a one-piece ThermoCOIL heater. Will this one last longer? Only time will tell and I will update this review if I have a leak with this model.Where the new Infuser excels:– Smaller footprint, the Infuser measures slightly over 10″ wide– Hotter espresso, 5 degrees hotter according to my thermometer– Quieter pump– Drip tray…
Strong machine with good features Got this machine from Amazon about two weeks ago now. Setup was a breeze and the machine works very well. Overall very satisfied.Pros:-Looks great-Pressure gauge is very helpful – though good shots are usually pulled on the high end of the pressure range-Pre-infusion has generated good results-Pre-programmed shot amounts are really helpful-Machine prepares quickly-Quiet operation-Steam arm is long and on a great ball joint-hot water dispenser is nice-Great tamper holder built into machine-large water tank-Includes both pressurized and non-pressurized baskets-Uses a thermocoil instead of a thermoblock-Easy cleaning cycleCons:-Shots pull fine, but come out not as hot as expected (when pulled stand alone). I haven’t measured temp on them but if cups and porta-filter are warmed as suggested in instructions i’m sure I would have better results.-In-spite of built in feature to…
