Is the Breville Infuser worth it for a beginner?

Yes, if you want a semi-automatic machine with a real steam wand and a pressure gauge without paying prosumer prices. Plan to buy a burr grinder, since none is included.

Does it come with a grinder?

No. The Infuser has no integrated grinder, so you need a separate burr grinder for fresh grounds.

How does it compare with the Breville Barista Express?

The Barista Express adds a built-in conical burr grinder and costs more. The Infuser is smaller and cheaper if you already own a grinder.

Can it steam milk and brew at the same time?

No. It uses a single boiler, so you brew first, then switch to steam and wait for the boiler to heat up.

Expect the machine, portafilter, pressurized and non-pressurized filter baskets, a tamper, and a milk jug depending on the bundle. Check the listing for included accessories.

Does it have PID temperature control?

Yes. The Infuser uses PID control with a thermocoil heating system, which Breville says keeps brew temperature steadier than a plain thermostat.

About it

The BES840BSXL has both automatic features, like temperature settings, and programmable features like volumetric control. The key features that set it apart from other espresso machines in its price range are the pre-infusion technology, the thermocoil heating system, and PID temperature control technology. See chart below for details. Other helpful features include a cup warmer on the top of the machine and a feature that removes excess water from the filter basket after coffee extraction, so the used grounds form a dry puck for quicker cleanup. The machine goes into 'Sleep Mode' after 1 hour and automatically shuts off after 3 hours. There is extra-tall cup clearance for brewing directly into travel mugs. Other touches include an ‘Empty Me!’ indicator that lets you know when the removable drip tray is full and a ‘Clean Me’ cleaning alert. The storage tray houses the included accessories. Lastly, all parts that come in contact with water and coffee are BPA free.

About the Breville Infuser Espresso Machine

The Breville Infuser is a semi-automatic pump espresso machine with a 61 fl oz removable tank, a 1650 W thermocoil heating system, and a steam wand with an integrated milk frother. It pulls two shots at once, has low-pressure pre-infusion, PID temperature control and programmable shot volume, and includes a pressure gauge on the front panel. It has no grinder, so you pair it with a separate one. Owners rate it highly and praise the steam wand and the pressure gauge; the main complaints are the single boiler and the missing grinder.
