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.

Kyle 2.0 out of 5 stars I read a lot about the machine both good and bad and didn’t pay attention to the warnings about the machine thinking that maybe it was just a few bad lemons. There is a lot to know about making good espresso but also tons of great reasources out there. This allows for brewing and steaming at the same time. Ok so sounds like the best machine ever, right. Well unfortunately it has major internal build quality problems. I purchased my original machine in August and only four months later and I’m on my third machine (which I sold on Craig’s because I don’t want to deal with sending another machine back to Breville- with my luck it’d be two days after the 2 year warranty expired). My first machine had a problem where it wouldn’t hold consistent pressure. After doing my routine to get the machine dialed in, I found the machine was acting up when I was in the sweet spot.
When pulling a shot at 9 bars, the pressure would bounce all over. The pressure gauge would bounce back and forth from 6 bars to 9 bars durning shot extraction. Sure, I could grind my coffee more course so that the pressure would be less but this would cause my shot to extract too quickly. After talking with Breville, they confirmed the problems over the phone (the rep could hear the pump oscillating) and sent out a new machine. Second machine comes. From day one, I felt that inserting the portafilter felt a bit more stiff but didn’t really think about it too much. After about a month of use, I was pushing the portafiler in and pulling it out. Usually, if one twists the portafilter to the insert position it wouldn’t stay there and instead would fall out of the group. In my machine after a months use, I was wiggling the portafilter to try and get it out. I thought that maybe there was something in the group so I removed the shower screen and dispersion disk. While doing this I found that there is a plasic piece that holds the porafilter in place. This plastic piece must have swollen and made it difficult to get the portafilter in and out. When I took out off the shower screen, you really start to see all the plasic that goes into the machine. It’s quite unfortunate because folks are spending a lot of money on these machines thinking that they’re getting a quality product that will last for years and years. Parts are few and far between and once the machine is out of warranty, you are required to spend a few hundred to send it back or buy something new. I think Breville should focus a little less on trying to pack as many features into the machine as possible and instead focus on increasing the quality of the companants that they put into the machine. I may be out of the norm here, but when purchasing products I want them to last. I want the ability to repair them or take them somewhere to have them repaired.
So many products are designed to be thrown away and personally I will be paying more attention to this in future purchases. Help keep junk out of the landfills and look for a machine that is built to last. My hunt my my next espresso machine is on. Please let me know if you have any questions, I’m happy to help answer as best I can.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'll try to cover the info that I think is pertinent to a potential buyer. So here's the first point - this machine, the 920xl, is a slightly upgraded version of the 900xl. Breville has added the ability to drain the boiler for shipping and at-home descaling to this version, plus a few minor other tweaks. Therefore, the reviews on the 900xl are still applicable, with the exception that you can now descale locally. There are a ton more reviews there, which you may want to check out since this is basically the same machine. Overall Pros: Great machine in this price range, great espresso, pretty easy to use, pretty consistent, GREAT features, good customer service. Cons: Some components a little cheap. This is the BIGGEST DRAWBACK.read more about it in the construction section below. And it's a BIG machine with a high counter clearance. It's also a bit of a power hog. Why only three stars. The engineering is well thought-out, but it's not the highest quality. It's not exactly cheap, but I'm not convinced that Breville builds things to last. To be more specific, my first 900xl lasted about a year and then the pump slowly lost power so that the machines maxed out at five bars. Not good. I called Breville, and their customer service was AWESOME. I got a rep within two minutes, and they swapped the machines out. No worries. When the 920 came out, I upgraded.
Then a few months later, a plastic piece around the group head failed, chipping so that the machine could no longer maintain pressure, and sprayed hot water and grounds everywhere. To be as specific as possible, the portafilter has the two metal notches that slide into the group head to lock it into place. This cracked and shed a small, 2 mm section, rendering the machine unusable. Again Breville shipped out a replacement asap. That one encountered a similar problem and they send a third, which is working fine. So here's my dilemma - I love this machine and its features. However, I feel like Breville has opted for cheaper internal parts and components to keep this thing in this price range. I am not sure that any of these units are going to be in operation in ten years. For my next espresso machine, I will definitely do some research and see if I can find a solidly-constructed alternative that might feature fewer nifty perks, but which might last much longer. I'm not a fan of large applianced failing once a year, then having to go into the shop. Since the group head still seems to include the cheapy plastic, THE RAZOR (dum dum DUM) should help users extend the life of the machine by not putting undo pressure on that piece. For those still interested in this machine, which is indeed an espresso powerhouse, let's move on to other features. Coffee Making I find the Breville easy to use, generally, and it makes great espresso. In this price range, the Breville reigns as a machine that can consistently put out shots that are 95 as good as those Italian cafe espressos. In general, we've found that this machine handles about 80 of the roasts we've tried well. When this has happened, moving to another roast has always been successful. If you pay attention to what you're doing, it's going to pull a good shot every morning. Steaming I like the steam wand; it produces nicely textured milk. And I can get a nice foam on 1 and soy milk, which I think is an accomplishment.
The steaming does run a little slower than some machines, which some reviewers complain about. For me personally, because this is a dual boiler I find I can start the steaming while I tamp and grind, and it doesn't really slow me down. It's probably about a minute to steam milk from fridge to 150 degree micro foam. Features I've owned several Breville appliances, and I find that one of the most unique aspects to their design process is that they really think a machine through. This holds true in the Breville Dual Boiler 920XL, and the features combined make this a fun little machine to own. Large water reservoir with rear and top loading. Programming features: I use the auto-on timer every day and it's great. I also use the programmable shot volume and adjustable brew temperature. Hot water spout: I didn't think it would be as big a deal as it is, but at dinner parties I turn the Breville on and my guests pour their own hot tea all night. Others: the magnetic tamper is a great feature, and I absolutely rely on the locking wheel rolling feature, which makes cleaning the machine and counter ten times easier. Size and power consumption This section doesn't contain complaints so much as an FYI to potential buyers. First, the Breville 920xl takes up a fair bit of counter space. It's also quite tall for an espresso machine. Make sure to measure before buying, ESPECIALLY if you want to take advantage of heating cups on top of the unit. You'll need a lot of clearance. That said, the height has advantages. A full-size mug easily fits under the portafilter during brewing, so I can pull a shot right into the drinking cup and then add milk for a cappuccino or espresso. This is kinda nice, since you lose crema if you pour a shot from a shot glass into a mug (or at least I do). The Breville is also a power hog.something I find to be true of every Breville appliance. The product info says 1700 watts.which is quite a lot.
