  • Rich, full‑bodied espresso
  • Extremely consistent shots
  • Commercial‑grade temperature stability

Milk System

The automatic steam wand is elite — better than the Barista Touch and competitive with high‑end café machines. It produces silky microfoam with perfect texture and temperature.

  • Best milk system in Breville’s lineup
  • Automatic or manual steaming

  • Drip tray and puck bin maintenance
