Breville 800ESXL Review
You won’t find a sleeker, shinier machine than this espresso maker from Breville. Featuring a solid die-cast stainless steel construction, its thermoblock heating system maintains just the right hot temperature for rich, creamy espressos. The dials and buttons on the front are refreshingly straightforward, with a knob that switches from espresso to steam to hot water. Remember that this Breville model requires careful attention to instructions and regular maintenance; after we had some practice, however, we found the results to be quite rewarding. At $799, it’s an investment but still reasonably priced for the performance it offers.
