Breville 800es review

Breville has been providing Australians with quality coffee makers and great tasting coffee for years, and the Breville 800es is no exception. Here are some of the features of this great appliance:

* 15-bar thermo block pump system
* Dual Wall crema system
* Function for pre-brew
* Function for auto-purge
* Heavy-duty, commercial-grade diecast design
* Easily removable, high capacity (2.2 litre) water tank
* Hot water function
* Swiveling steam wand
* Large-size cup warming plate
* Drip tray that holds up to one litre
* Convenient storage drawerStorage draw
* Accessories such as a stainless steel frothing jug, cleaning tool and tamping spoon
* Full two-year warranty

This machine is striking in looks because of its brushed metal, diecast housing. It was awarded a “Best in Category” award at the 2006 Housewares Design Awards in New York, and it also received a DesignMark Award at Australia’s 2005 design awards. This coffee maker would be a perfect addition to any modern kitchen and it makes steaming hot and consistently good coffee. It’s on the heavy side, weighing in at over fourteen kilograms, but it will definitely last.

Using the machine is easy and quick. You don’t really even need to read the instruction manual, but it’s worth a look if you want to use the machine to its full potential. Before you make your first pot of coffee, you should run water through the machine first so that it’s ensured that the pipes are hot enough.

It’s easy to fit the filter holder into the brewing head, because of the machine’s clever design with a handy guide on the brew head itself. The machine makes piping hot coffee with great crema. The steam wand produces hot steam, with delicious froth (even without the use of the frothing attachment). If you are a coffee connoisseur or if you just want a better cup in the morning, give the Breville 800es a try.
