Breville Professional 800 Collection Espresso Machine

Housed in heavy-duty die-cast stainless steel, this attractive espresso machine features a 15-bar Italian-made pump and a ThermoBlock heating system that maintains water at an ideal 95 degrees C during extraction. Prior to extraction, the unique 15-bar Triple Prime pump automatically releases three bursts of hot water in the filter head, causing the ground coffee to expand. This increases pressure, allowing the machine to extract more crema, giving the coffee a rich, smooth texture and taste. The machine's fully die-cast selector dial enables simple switching between espresso, steam, and hot water. When turned to the left, users can alternate between hot water and steam using the illuminating solid-steel buttons. The right position gives manual control of the espresso-making process.

Mounted on a swivel ball for easy maneuverability, the unit's stainless-steel steam wand produces continuous dry steam for barista-style milk and froth. The wand also dispenses hot water on demand for tea and other hot beverages. Included are single (7 gram) and double (14 gram) filters. Each solid stainless-steel filter incorporates Breville's unique dual-wall crema technology, which produces a back pressure inside the head that, together with the Triple-Prime pump, extracts more flavor and texture from the coffee. With a full 11.4cm clearance, the machine accommodates large cups and travel mugs, making it ideal not just for espresso, but also americano, cappuccino, and cafe latte. The 2.2 Litre removable illuminated water tank produces 50 single shots of espresso before refilling, and is conveniently accessible from both the front and the rear of the unit. Other useful details include a unique auto-purge function, a large 1-liter drip tray with "full" indicator, cord storage, a patented power-assist cord, and a concealed accessory storage compartment. Accessories include a tamping tool/measuring spoon, a cleaning tool, and a stainless-steel frothing pitcher.
