The Breville BES920BSXL Dual Boiler in Black Sesame offers commercial features and performance, in a domestic footprint. Espresso perfection requires precision temperature and pressure control, consistently, every time. At the heart of this machine is its dual stainless steel boiler heating system. The espresso boiler, for the espresso shot, is PID temperature controlled, while a separate steam boiler offers instant and powerful steam on demand. So you can extract your shot at the right temperature, delivering optimal flavor, while simultaneously steaming your milk to cafe quality. What’s more, there is another element in the group head, ensuring the entire system maintains a consistent temperature. The Dual Boiler also features an Over Pressure Valve (OPV) which limits the maximum pressure throughout the extraction, preventing bitter flavors in the shot. It also offers a true low pressure pre-infusion, which gradually increases the pressure to gently expand the grinds for an even extraction. But there’s much more to this machine for the coffee geek. Brew temperature and pre-infusion pressure and duration are all programmable. At the same time we’ve kept it simple with user-friendly features. An optional Auto Start setting preheats the machine at a programmed time; a top-fill 84 oz. (2.5L) water tank ensures easy access; and the dedicated hot water outlet makes it faster to preheat cups and prepare an Americano. There is also a shot clock and pressure gauge to help you improve your barista skills over time. The new Dual Boiler now includes a descaling function for cleaning at home, a Razor Dosing Tool for precision dosing and consistent extraction, plus a 2 year limited warranty. All you’ll need are some freshly ground beans and a bit of practice to rival the best cafe.

Pretty solid espresso machine (a pragmatic review) I write reviews solely to provide the best info possible for potential buyers. I am not a Breville “fanboy,” nor do I have a grudge to settle. I am NOT a coffee snob. This review is from the viewpoint of a home espresso and latte maker who wants a solid machine that is a decent value. I used the Breville 900xl Dual Boiler for 3+ years, and moved on to the 920xl recently. I’ll try to cover the info that I think is pertinent to a potential buyer.So here’s the first point – this…
Breville focused on cramming as many features as possible into this machine instead of building a quality product After a lot of research, I finally decided to purchase this machine. I read a lot about the machine both good and bad and didnât pay attention to the warnings about the machine thinking that maybe it was just a few bad lemons.Letâs start with whatâs good:+The machine is capable of producing excellent espresso when the operator has a bit of practice. There is a lot to know about making good espresso but also tons of great reasources out there. Read up and watch videos, I wonât…
but the machine has been fantastic. I buy espresso beans from my favorite coffee … I have owned this product now for 1.5 years. It has performed magnificently. It was an expensive purchase, and I had some hesitation about it, but the machine has been fantastic. I buy espresso beans from my favorite coffee roaster in San Francisco and pull two shots EVERY morning with this machine. It produces a shot equally as good as the one that I actually get from the coffee shop. Thick and chocolately with amazing flavor. Mechanically, it has been flawless. No problems. It lets you…
