Breville Infuser

 An Honest Review of a Great Espresso Machine

By: Ken Takakura     Revised by: Mark Cambell    Last Updated: Feb 2, 2024

The Breville Infuser Espresso Machine is designed to create third wave specialty coffee at home using the four keys formula: the right dose of beans, optimal water pressure, precise temperature control and microfoam milk for latte art. 

the 4 key formula to get best espresso cup

This Espresso Machine is a semi-automatic machine that has a sleek and compact design that comes in three color options: stainless steel, cranberry red and black sesame, with 61-ounce water tank that can be easily removed and filled from the back of the machine. Plus, it has a removable drip tray and an indicator that tells you when it needs to be emptied as well.

Breville Infuser Espresso Machine

This machine has a pre-infusion function. Water spray gently moistens the coffee grounds with low pressure before applying high pressure extraction. This helps to expand the grinds evenly and extract more flavor from them. The machine also has a built-in pressure gauge that shows you the optimal pressure range for a balanced espresso extraction.

The machine also has a volumetric control feature that lets you choose between one shot, two shots or manual control over how much espresso ends up in your cup. You can also program your own volume settings for single or double shots by holding down the corresponding button until it beeps.

For milk-based drinks, the machine has a manual steam wand that can produce high-pressure steam and create microfoam milk for latte art. The steam wand has a 360-degree swivel action that allows you to angle it in any direction. It also has a dedicated hot water spout that can dispense hot water for Americanos or tea.

The machine comes with several accessories that enhance its performance and functionality. These include:

- A razor dose trimming tool that helps you level off the coffee grounds in the portafilter for an even extraction

- Four filter baskets (single wall and dual wall) for single or double shots

- A coffee scoop for measuring coffee beans

- A stainless steel milk jug for frothing milk

- A cleaning disc and tablets for cleaning the brew head

- A cleaning brush, tool and Allen key for maintenance

- A water filter holder and water filter for reducing impurities in water

The machine also has some maintenance indicators that let you know when it needs some upkeep. These include:

- A clean me light that tells you when it's time to run a cleaning cycle

- A descale me light that tells you when it's time to descale the machine

- A water filter replacement alert that tells you when it's time to change the water filter
