Stylish and Comprehensive – BREVILLE Espresso Machine
A home espresso machine should have certain qualities and feel that any home baristas would be looking for. And we reckon that Breville espresso machine has all that it takes.
For a start, Breville has that particular cosy look and touch which we believe are aptly suitable for home. Not only this, its classic and yet modern design fit also for any cafes.
Although the features of the espresso machines are made with home users in mind, still the quality and make are nothing less than that of the ones for commercial premises.
The material is made up of sturdy, solid stainless steel. The stalwart outlook of the machine is balanced up with the remembered attention to details, such as the aesthetics and feel of the touch buttons, the apparent, visible pressure gauge which helps baristas tremendously and conveniently. With this pressure bar, baristas will be able to gauge so much more easily when dialling in the dosage of coffee beans.
Next comes the unrivalled portafilter which is always a perfect receptacle for that compact coffee puck. The coffee puck which comes out of it is often one seamless, unbroken, complete cake. The coffee puck is much more easily dislodged from the portafilter, compared to other brands of portafilters that we have used.
In addition, the water tank could be loosened without difficulty when it is empty. Filling it with water and fitting the water tank back with the machine could also be done at a click of the fingers.
In any espresso machines, the steam wand plays an important role in any milk frothing and the resulting latte art that follows. The Breville Swivel Action Steam wand is a befitting tool for any home baristas. It takes a while for the steam wand to execute the frothing, swirling action – but this gradual start is an advantage because it allows baristas to adjust the wand to the right frothing position before any failed milk frothing could even occur. And this usually always results in a successfully frothed, smooth and creamy foam – a great plus point of Breville machine.
The drip tray that comes with Breville machine can be smoothly removed. It also comes with a coffee grind separator for any spilled grinds. And at the innermost slot of the drip tray, there is an additional slender tray for you to place your filter baskets and other small accessories – a very thoughtful and pleasant gesture from Breville.
All in all, Breville machine is pleasant and at the same time a practical equipment to start with. Remember also there are certain techniques and skills that are required to be mastered before a perfect shot can be achieved. Enjoy the process and we believe you will be able to obtain this skill with practice and dexterity in no time.
Continue with your passion in this coffee journey. Cheers.
