Breville the Dual Boiler™ Espresso Machine – BES920

About the Product

Breville the Dual Boiler™ Espresso Machine – BES920 is a professional-style home espresso machine designed for users who want greater control over espresso extraction and milk steaming. Unlike Breville’s Barista models, the BES920 does not have a built-in coffee grinder, so a separate espresso grinder is required.

Its key advantage is the dual stainless-steel boiler system: one boiler is dedicated to espresso extraction while the other supplies steam. This allows you to brew espresso and texture milk at the same time. Digital PID temperature control and a heated group head help maintain stable brewing temperatures. Breville

Basic Care

After each use, discard the coffee puck and rinse the portafilter and filter basket. Wipe the steam wand immediately after steaming milk and purge it briefly to remove any milk residue.

Regularly empty and wash the drip tray, clean the group head, and replace the water filter according to the recommended schedule. Perform the machine's cleaning and descaling procedures when required to help maintain stable pressure, temperature, and coffee quality. Breville
