If you love brewed coffee and are tired of going to your neighborhood coffee shop to have a good cup of joe in the morning, then the Breville Infuser is for you.<\/p>\n<p>It's sold at a great price and easy to use. It's made of brushed stainless steel, making it a durable piece of espresso maker that will last many years if you know how to care for it.<\/p>\n<p>The Infuser delivers the exact espresso flavor from your choice of coffee beans and provides even extraction, giving you a balanced espresso flavor.<\/p>\n<p>What makes it exceptionally impressive is its ability to infuse ground coffee. For a mid-priced espresso maker, this is its selling point. Pre-infusing features are mostly found in the most higher-end or heavy-duty espresso makers, so it's a big plus for the price that it has.<\/p>\n<p>Pre-infusing coffee grounds make brewing much more even and balanced. This is because the machine pre-infuses your ground coffee beans with low and consistent water pressure before the extraction process. This results in the ground coffee expanding before being exposed to high pressure. The outcome is a more even coffee flavor that's rich and intense.<\/p>\n<p>The Infuser also makes it possible for you to control what goes into your coffee. How much coffee you want, as well as a micro-foam milk texturing capacity that moves 360 degrees, making it possible to create latte art with your cup of joe.<\/p>\n<p>It's a powerful espresso machine that allows you to customize your drink plus create latte art. It's a fun and efficient espresso machine that lasts.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_row_4 et_pb_row et_block_row\"><div class=\"et_pb_column_4 et_pb_column et_pb_column_4_4 et-last-child et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_3 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module et_pb_text_align_center\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><h2>What comes with the Breville infuser?<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_row_5 et_pb_row et_block_row\"><div class=\"et_pb_column_5 et_pb_column et_pb_column_2_5 et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_4 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><ul>\n<li>Included Accessories:<\/li>\n<li>Razor Dose Trimming Tool.<\/li>\n<li>1cup &amp;

Produces Great-Tasting Espresso and Lattes<\/h3>\n<p>Whatever ground coffee you choose to use on this machine, the unit will deliver a rich, intense, and balanced flavor. Breville has taken the time to study and design the features needed to provide really good espresso and lattes with this machine. And the micro-foam milk texturing feature is like icing on the cake - the Breville Infuser makes good coffee.<\/p>\n<h3>2. Stable Temperature<\/h3>\n<p>The digital PID temperature control allows you to have a steady and customized temperature during extraction. This is a great feature because you can customize your coffee based on how hot you want it to be, which not many coffee makers have.<\/p>\n<h3>3. Customized Coffee<\/h3>\n<p>While the machine does have a few pre-programmed features, you can make your very own volume, strength, temperature, milk foam, and more with this machine. It would help if you took the time to study the features and their performance to get the right formula for the different kinds of coffee that you want.<\/p>\n<h3>4. Great for Anyone Who Loves Espresso But Doesn't Want a High-End Machine<\/h3>\n<p>Designed for home use, this is for the espresso lover who doesn't want to spend too much while also not compromising on high-quality build, features, and performance.<\/p>\n<p>Or, if you've never made your espresso before, this is a great introduction that gives you great tasting espresso in a beautiful and durable machine that's a fraction of the cost of a high-end espresso unit.<\/p>\n<h3>5. Hot Water Outlet for Instant Hot Water<\/h3>\n<p>The hot water outlet is perfect for having hot water in your kitchen \"on demand.\" If you want to make tea and have no time to boil water, you can have instant hot water from this machine.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_column_21 et_pb_column et_pb_column_1_2 et-last-child et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_blurb_8 et_pb_blurb et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_blurb_position_top et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_blurb_content\"><div class=\"et_pb_blurb_container\"><h3 class=\"et_pb_module_header\">Cons<\/h3><div class=\"et_pb_blurb_description\"><h3>1. Not Great for Volume Quantities<\/h3>\n<p>As mentioned earlier, the machine only has one motor, which is a single boiler with a Thermo coil. You can't use the extraction together with the steam feature. If you use the extractor, you'd have to switch it to steam mode, which takes a few seconds to work.<\/p>\n<p>If you make 2 to 5 cups of espresso or latte, you can do so in minutes. But, if you have a party or dinner at home for about eight people, it will take some time to prepare everyone's espresso or latte.<\/p>\n<p>This is good for solo or a couple at home, not for a party of more than five people.<\/p>\n<h3>2. Steep Learning Curve<\/h3>\n<p>Though the machine does have pre-programmed features, where's the fun in that? The key to a great espresso machine is learning how to customize and use the features to create the coffee you want. It does take a while to learn this machine, and it would need a great amount of trial and error to make the perfect dosing and formula for the best espresso that meets your palate.<\/p>\n<h3>3. No Built-In Grinder<\/h3>\n<p>You have to use ground coffee with this machine. If you buy coffee beans, you need to have them ground or buy a coffee grinder before using them on this machine. Other espresso machines do have built-in grinders, which would've made the Breville Infuser so much more convenient and efficient.<\/p>\n<h3>4. Has Its Very Own Breville Cleaning System<\/h3>\n<p>The Breville Infuser is not the easiest thing to clean. One of its features is maintenance and cleaning alerts. This shows that cleaning the unit is an important factor in ensuring the machine works well as new for a very long time.<\/p>\n<p>An entire cleaning set comes with the machine, so if you can't clean your unit when it needs to be cleaned, it won't last very long. There's a specific way of cleaning the Breville Infuser that you need to learn, and it's something that not a lot of people like about having this machine.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_section_7 et_pb_section et_section_regular et_block_section\"><div class=\"et_pb_row_13 et_pb_row et_block_row\"><div class=\"et_pb_column_22 et_pb_column et_pb_column_4_4 et-last-child et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_video_0 et_pb_video et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_video_box\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The Infuser\u2122 | How to make a perfectly balanced, full flavored latte | Breville USA\" width=\"1080\" height=\"608\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/rfDGNUEjLps?feature=oembed\"  allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_button_module_wrapper et_pb_button_2_wrapper\"><a class=\"et_pb_button_2 et_pb_button et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\" href=\"https:\/\/kitchlit.com\/staging\/go\/breville-infuser\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"external nofollow\"><span class=\"et-pb-parallax-content\">Shop Now<\/span><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_section_8 et_pb_section et_section_regular et_block_section\"><div class=\"et_pb_row_14 et_pb_row et_block_row\"><div class=\"et_pb_column_23 et_pb_column et_pb_column_1_2 et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_10 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module et_pb_text_align_center\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><h2>Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_text_11 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p>The Breville Infuser is a fantastic espresso machine that churns out balanced, rich, intense, and delicious espresso in minutes. Get to have your very own espresso machine at home at a fraction of the cost than higher-end machines that also have the pre-infusion feature.<\/p>\n<p>Hands down, the unit's pre-infusion ability is its most impressive capacity. It helps bring balanced extraction and flavors to your espresso, giving you a great espresso shot that checks all the right places for a great cup.<\/p>\n<p>The Breville Infuser is a semi-automatic espresso machine which means there is still some manual work to create your espresso, but this makes it so much more fun to use. You can adjust the temperature you want, the volume you need, and other customizable features that include making latte art with the steam wand.<\/p>\n<p>Aside from espressos, you can make Macchiato and lattes with the Breville Infuser, making it a versatile, powerful, and efficient at-home espresso maker that's worth the price.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_column_24 et_pb_column et_pb_column_1_2 et-last-child et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_image_3 et_pb_image et_pb_module et_block_module\"><span class=\"et_pb_image_wrap\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/kitchlit.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/breville-bes840xla-the-infuser-espresso-machine.jpg\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1000\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kitchlit.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/breville-bes840xla-the-infuser-espresso-machine.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/kitchlit.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/breville-bes840xla-the-infuser-espresso-machine-980x980.jpg 980w, https:\/\/kitchlit.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/breville-bes840xla-the-infuser-espresso-machine-480x480.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1000px, 100vw\" class=\"wp-image-240976\" alt=\"breville bes840xl\/a the infuser espresso machine\" title=\"breville bes840xl\/a the infuser espresso machine\" \/><\/span><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_button_module_wrapper et_pb_button_3_wrapper\"><a class=\"et_pb_button_3 et_pb_button et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\" href=\"https:\/\/kitchlit.com\/staging\/go\/breville-infuser\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"external nofollow\"><span class=\"et-pb-parallax-content\">Shop Now<\/span><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_row_15 et_pb_row et_block_row\"><div class=\"et_pb_column_25 et_pb_column et_pb_column_4_4 et-last-child et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_button_module_wrapper et_pb_button_4_wrapper\"><a class=\"et_pb_button_4 et_pb_button et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\" href=\"https:\/\/kitchlit.com\/staging\/go\/breville\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"external nofollow\"><span class=\"et-pb-parallax-content\">Visit Breville<\/span><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_section_9 et_pb_section et_section_regular et_block_section\"><div class=\"et_pb_row_16 et_pb_row et_block_row\"><div class=\"et_pb_column_26 et_pb_column et_pb_column_4_4 et-last-child et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_12 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><h4>Related from Breville<\/h4>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_row_17 et_pb_row et_block_row\"><div class=\"et_pb_column_27 et_pb_column et_pb_column_4_4 et-last-child et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_blurb_9 et_pb_blurb et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_blurb_position_top et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_blurb_content\"><div class=\"et_pb_main_blurb_image et_animated\"><a href=\"https:\/\/kitchlit.com\/staging\/breville-sous-chef-food-processor\/\"><span class=\"et_pb_image_wrap et_pb_only_image_mode_wrap\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/kitchlit.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/breville-sous-chef-peel-dice-food-processor.png\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kitchlit.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/breville-sous-chef-peel-dice-food-processor.png 500w, https:\/\/kitchlit.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/breville-sous-chef-peel-dice-food-processor-480x480.png 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) 500px, 100vw\" class=\"wp-image-241090\" alt=\"breville sous chef peel &amp;
