EspressoBot Comparison

Machine Overview

Machine 1, the Breville Barista Express Impress, is priced at $899.95 and is classified as a semi-automatic machine, catering to beginner users. In contrast, Machine 2, the Londinium Compressa, has a significantly higher price of $2515 and is suited for advanced users. This difference in pricing reflects the complexities and potential capabilities of the machines.

Brewing Comparison

When it comes to brewing information, the Breville model is activated by a button, featuring a thermoblock primary heating element with a heat-up time of 5 to 15 minutes. Conversely, the Londinium Compressa utilizes a lever activation system and a heat exchanger as its primary heating element, taking longer to heat up between 15 to 30 minutes. The Breville machine has a water reservoir capacity of 1.9 liters, while the Londinium Compressa requires a direct connection for water supply and has a steam boiler capacity of 2.3 liters.

Features Comparison

The Breville Barista Express Impress includes several features such as an integrated grinder, dual PID control, and pre-infusion capability. Alternatively, the Londinium Compressa does not come with an integrated grinder, but it supports concurrent brewing and steaming and offers flow control. Both machines have hot water features and pre-infusion, while the Breville has automatic shutoff and solenoid valves, unlike the Londinium which provides a no-burn steam wand.
