BES870CBXL, BES870XL specifications

The Breville BES870XL and BES870CBXL are highly regarded espresso machines that cater to coffee enthusiasts seeking exceptional brewing capabilities. These models are equipped with features that streamline the coffee-making process while delivering cafe-quality espresso at home.

One of the standout features of the BES870XL and BES870CBXL is the built-in conical burr grinder. This essential technology allows users to grind coffee beans fresh right before brewing, which significantly enhances flavor and aroma. The grinder offers multiple settings for grind size, enabling users to fine-tune their espresso to match their taste preferences. The integrated grinder also has a convenient portafilter cradle that ensures a mess-free grinding experience.

Another key characteristic is the precise temperature control achieved through the digital PID temperature control system. This technology maintains the water temperature within a narrow range, ensuring optimal extraction of flavors from the coffee grounds. Accurate temperature management is crucial for brewing espresso, allowing users to achieve consistency and great taste in every cup.

The BES870XL and BES870CBXL also feature a 15-bar Italian pump that delivers the perfect pressure for extracting rich and flavorful espresso. Combined with the stainless steel dual-boiler system, these machines ensure that you can brew espresso and steam milk simultaneously, providing efficiency for those busy mornings.

Additionally, the steam wand on these models is designed for microfoam milk texturing, allowing users to create lattes and cappuccinos with quality similar to those found in cafes. The steam wand is also easy to maneuver, making it suitable for both skilled baristas and newcomers alike.

Ease of use is another hallmark of the Breville espresso machines. They come with a user-friendly interface featuring intuitive controls and an LCD display that guides users through the brewing process. Other convenience features include an adjustable cup height for accommodating various cup sizes, a removable water tank for easy filling, and an automatic purge system that ensures optimal brewing temperature.

In summary, the Breville BES870XL and BES870CBXL are powerful and sophisticated espresso machines designed for coffee lovers. With key features such as a built-in grinder, precise temperature control, and a dual boiler system, they provide an excellent foundation for brewing high-quality espresso drinks. These machines stand out for their ability to combine technology with ease of use, making them an ideal choice for anyone looking to elevate their home coffee experience.
