Breville 920 clean me3/18/2023 ![]() ![]() What’s great about Breville is that they aren’t waiting for the pressure competition brings to improve themselves. I’m really happy about this, as competition almost always inspires great innovation. ![]() In years to come, I’m confident we’ll see more and more companies catching on to what Breville already knows. I must admit, their concept is downright genius! They’ve figured out that there’s a niche market of people who want the control portafilter machines offer, but aren’t completely comfortable walking away from the convenience of super-automatic espresso machines. When it comes to designing dynamic coffee machines, Breville is no slouch. You see their touch in everything from Breville coffee makers to their Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro. It’s clear that the designers at Breville know what people want sitting on their countertops. You’ve probably noticed their iconic stainless steel look, reminiscent of ages past yet converging with modern design and technology. This review has a whole lot more to offer! Background on Brevilleīreville was founded in Sydney in 1932 and aims to help people achieve greater things in the kitchen than they ever thought possible. Glossy, no obvious bubbles, but with a cohesive viscosity.For the rest of you, stay tuned. Well foamed milk should look like wet paint. Then just raise jug until the hiss goes, and keep it at that relative depth until you've hit 60-65 degrees. Do that until about body temperature (38), or your ideal volume is approximately reached. Not too low that it sounds horrendous like a banshee and creates big bubbles, not too high that the sound skips, on and off. But basically, the tip of wand dips in just below surface of milk to create that unobtrusive hiss of air. The duration of the first stage depends on steam pressure and dryness. There's two stages to steaming: aerate, blend. Just hold it, moving only up and down to introduce/remove air. Get this position right and don't tilt again. If it overflows, tilt back a bit to the centre of the pitcher. The idea here is when you turn on the steam, you're creating a controlled vortex that churns the milk. With the spout still touching the steam wand, tilt the jug so the steam wand points to the middle of the pitcher. With the steam off, insert steam wand so that it slides up right against spout, steam tip sitting just below surface of milk. Don't fill above the bottom of the start of the spout. Make sure you're steaming in a proper milk steaming pitcher. Or if you're practising, use a single small drop of dishwadhing detergent in a pitcher of water it behaves similarly to milk. ![]() The key components are all there to meet their original design brief: to make an appliance that can make coffee equal to what you get in a cafe, repeatedly. It is not a La Marzocco Linea Mini, or Rocket R Cinquantotto, which use commercial quality dual boilers integrated into a "compact" footprint, with a water reservoir that can still fit on a benchtop.īut similar to high end machines, it will need routine periodic maintenance, probably every 2 years or so outside of the fitlers and cleaning tablets. + the automatic reminders to clean and change filters. + the automatic power on at the time you set so it is up and ready every morning. + the huge tank system with the window and filling point at the front. The pressure gauge is necessary to let you know if your extraction is what you were hoping for, and whether to adjust. You can adjust the PID temperature set point as well.ĥ. The steam is dry and powerful enough to texture milk very well, you can get the milk done while the coffee is extracting, allowing you to blend your drink before the crema dissipates. The independent steam boiler with a nice manual lever for control and three exit points for steam. The preheated group unit which maintains thermal stability at the brew point.Ĥ. The over pressure valve which limits the brew pressure from getting too high, which allows for consistent extraction and flavour in the shot.ģ. The dual boiler system, which preheats the brew water by inlet passing through the steam boiler, which prevents thermal shock of the inlet and allows the brew reservoir more thermal stability.Ģ. To me, the key components in this machine are:ġ. Touchscreen models/oracle models/built in grinder models - they add e.g.touchscreen/graphics, sensor for jug temperature/milk temperature, robotic tamping, automatic steam on/off) The BES920 feature set (in my biased opnion) is the sweet spot, without the sizzle/hype features added on for product market segmentation. ![]() This is by far the best espresso machine Breville make. ![]()
