EspressoBot Comparison

Machine Overview

The Breville Barista Pro is priced at $849.95 and is tailored for beginners, making it accessible for those new to espresso brewing. In contrast, the Xenia Espresso Dual Boiler has a significantly higher price of $2500 and targets users with an intermediate skill level, catering to those with more experience in espresso making. Both machines are semi-automatic, allowing users a degree of control over the brewing process.

Brewing Comparison

In terms of brewing information, the Breville Barista Pro features an LCD screen for activation, a semi-saturated group type, and utilizes a thermoblock heating element with a heat-up time of 5-15 minutes. The Xenia Espresso Dual Boiler activates via a button, uses a dual boiler heating element, and has similar heat-up times of 5-15 minutes. The brew group for the Xenia machine is made of chrome-plated brass, while the group type for the Breville is a semi-saturated configuration. Each machine has a water reservoir source, with the Breville holding 1.9L and the Xenia accommodating 2L.

Features Comparison

When it comes to features, the Breville Barista Pro includes an integrated grinder, PID control, pre-infusion, and an auto shutoff feature, while it lacks gauges for boiler pressure and steam pressure. The Xenia Espresso Dual Boiler, however, includes both boiler and steam pressure gauges, concurrent brewing and steaming capabilities, as well as advanced PID control features, including dual PID control. Both machines offer hot water and have solenoid valves, but only the Xenia machine is equipped with an over pressure valve, reflecting its more advanced design for experienced users.
