The Bottom Line
Breville's least expensive machine with a pressure gauge, the Infuser gives you more control over extraction and steaming than both the Duo-Temp and Bambino models for less than Breville's Barista series machines.

Breville Duo-Temp Pro BES810

Breville Duo-Temp Pro BES810
Overall Rating: 85
One of Breville's most basic models, the Duo-Temp Pro gives you total control over your brewing journey. It's a little too light (extra weight helps when inserting/removing portafilters) but I won't complain at under $500.

Breville Barista Touch BES880

Breville Barista Touch BES880
Overall Rating: 92
Breville makes 3 mid-level models in their Barista series: Express, Pro, and Touch. The Touch is the best with a Thermocoil boiler and powerful 1680W heating element for 3-second startup, and a beautiful color touch display.

Breville Cafe Roma ESP8XL

Breville Cafe Roma ESP8XL
Overall Rating: 85
An inexpensive entry-level espresso machine from Breville, the ESP8XL Cafe Roma is a serviceable model most notable for its durability. But you'll need to upgrade for more consistent extraction and better foam.
About The Coffee Maven

Bryan De Luca

I'm Bryan but most people know me as The Coffee Maven. I grew up outside Boston, Massachusetts and received my Bachelor's degree in Biochemistry from Providence College. My first introduction to coffee was during my college days, when I used it as a source of caffeine to fuel late-night study sessions, but soon I became obsessed with the chemistry of coffee. How did changes to water temperature or contact time affect its taste? Why do beans from Africa taste fruity while beans from Indonesia taste spicy? I launched The Coffee Maven in February 2017 to explore these questions and help others brew their perfect cup. Welcome to my site, and thanks for reading!
