EspressoBot Comparison

Machine Overview

Machine 1, the Breville Infuser, is priced at $599.95 and is classified as a semi-automatic machine, suited for beginners. Machine 2, the Breville Duo Temp Pro, is more affordable at $499.95, also targeting the beginner segment and falling under the same semi-automatic category. Both machines offer accessible options for users new to espresso making.

Brewing Comparison

In terms of brewing information, both machines utilize button activation and have a heat-up time of less than 5 minutes. They share the same primary heating element, which is Thermoblock, and both feature a water reservoir capacity of 1.8 liters. The portafilter size for both machines is 54mm, and they are equipped with a vibration pump type, ensuring consistent performance. However, they lack details on boiler materials and group types.

Features Comparison

When examining the key features, the Breville Infuser includes an auto shutoff function and a boiler pressure gauge, enhancing user control and safety. Conversely, the Duo Temp Pro lacks these features but provides a hot water option and pre-infusion capability as well. Both machines include a steam wand, however, they do not offer a no-burn wand or smart connectivity, maintaining simplicity in design.
