EspressoBot Comparison

Machine Overview

The Breville Barista Touch Impress is priced at $1499.95 and is designed for beginners, making it an accessible option for new espresso enthusiasts. In contrast, the Xenia Espresso Dual Boiler is priced at $2500 and targets intermediate users, positioning it as a more advanced machine for those seeking greater control over their coffee-making process. Both machines fall under the semi-automatic category.

Brewing Comparison

In terms of brewing information, the Breville machine features a Thermoblock heating element with a quick heat-up time of less than 5 minutes and operates via a button activation. It has a water reservoir capacity of 1.9 liters and a portafilter size of 54 mm. The Xenia Dual Boiler, on the other hand, employs a dual boiler heating system with a longer heat-up time of 5 to 15 minutes, also using button activation. It offers a larger water reservoir of 2 liters and a larger portafilter size of 58 mm.

Features Comparison

The Breville model includes automatic shutoff, pre-infusion, and a PID control system but does not feature a steam pressure gauge or integrated grinder. Meanwhile, the Xenia Dual Boiler provides more advanced features such as dual PID control, steam pressure gauge, shot timer, and concurrent brew steam capabilities, but lacks an integrated grinder and automatic shutoff. Both machines support hot water dispensing and utilize a solenoid valve for optimal brewing.
