Breville BES840XL Infuser Espresso Machine

This stylish stainless steel Breville Infuser is designed specifically for an optimum espresso brew. Find out which feature ensures this happens every time you use this machine. We’ll mention other features too if you’re still deciding if this is the machine for you or not.

Pre-Infusion of Coffee Grounds

The built-in pressure gauge balances both the grind and water pressure. Yes, it’s called an Infuser because it pre-infuses ground coffee with a low and consistent pressure of water. Then when the extraction process is ready to start, the pressure increases gradually until it reaches 15 bar.

PID Temperature Control

Similar to other Breville espresso machines, the Infuser includes a digital temperature control function. The 1600W stainless steel thermocoil helps to control the temperature while giving an adjustment range of 2 degrees.

Separate Water Outlet

A dedicated water outlet gives instant hot water. Which means you can make your Americano or hot chocolate instead of espresso whenever you feel like it.

Volumetric Controls

You can control the volume of espresso you want per shot by selecting the single or double shot option. A manual override plus preset program for shot volumes is also part of the control features.

Auto Purge Function

This feature allows the machine to automatically adjust the water temperature after steaming. This ultimately keeps the extraction process standard and reliable every time the machine is used.

Plastic Insert Inside Portafilter

A BPA-free plastic insert in the portafilter ensures the water remains hot. The temperature of the water tends to drop when it comes into contact directly with cold metal. This little design feature may seem inane. But it makes a huge difference when dealing with the correct water temperature for infusion and extraction.
