help Breville Infuser FAQ

Is the Breville Infuser a hand-crank espresso maker?

No. The Breville Infuser, model BES840, is an electric semi-automatic machine that uses a 15-bar Italian pump to move water through the coffee puck. It has a portafilter, pump, thermocoil heating system, and powered controls rather than a hand crank.

How does pre-infusion work on the Breville Infuser?

The machine applies low, steady water pressure before increasing pressure for extraction. This gently expands the grounds and helps reduce channeling, which is why the Infuser’s name refers to the pre-infusion stage.

Does the Breville Infuser have a built-in coffee grinder?

No. You need a separate grinder or pre-ground coffee, unlike the Breville Barista Express, which includes an integrated conical burr grinder. The Infuser is therefore useful for someone who already owns a grinder and wants to choose it separately.

Can the Breville Infuser make lattes and Americanos?

Yes. Its manual steam wand can texture milk for lattes and cappuccinos, while the hot-water outlet can be used for Americanos. The machine also has one-cup and two-cup extraction controls and automatically purges water into the drip tray after brewing or steaming.
