Enjoy a cafe experience from the comfort of home with this sleek-looking espresso machine. Thanks to its 4-1/2-inch clearance, the machine accommodates full-size mugs, making it ideal not just for espresso, but coffee drinks such as Americano, cappuccino, and cafe latte. The unit's stainless-steel boiler system delivers water at a consistent 198 degrees F, while its commercially inspired Triple Prime feature produces three succinct bursts of water onto ground coffee causing it to moisten and swell. This creates additional backpressure, as well as prevents burning. The unit's 15-bar pump extracts a cafe-quality crema from either ground espresso or pods, and its exclusive Easy Eject filter system makes it simple to interchange the three included filters (single, double, and pod). Each filter uses Breville dual-wall technology to produce consistently rich crema.
For added convenience, the machine's commercial-style 360-degree rotating metal steam wand with froth enhancer features a swivel ball for easy maneuverability and a soft-grip dial to control steam pressure for barista-style frothed milk. A backlit soft-touch electronic control pad provides control over the extraction process, while a front-accessed removable 2-liter water tank holds enough water to produce 65 single shots of espresso before refilling. The espresso machine's large 25-ounce drip tray slides out for easy cleaning and neatly conceals the built-in storage compartment. Furthermore, its boiler heats the mug-warming tray on top of the machine, and accessories include a stainless-steel barista-grade frothing jug and custom tamping tool. With its solid die-cast base with double-wall brushed stainless-steel chassis and body construction, the espresso machine measures 9-5/6 by 9-5/6 by 12-1/8 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.
