Breville Pixl VCF193
The Breville Pixl is a compact semi-automatic espresso machine that makes hot and cold brews at the touch of a button.
It has Thermoblock Heating Technology for fast heat-up times, and features automatic temperature control and gentle pre-infusion for more consistent and balanced brews.
Choose between pre-set single and double shots, which can be adjusted to your liking. Although it has a dual spout, only one cup can be brewed at a time.
Its powerful steam wand produces microfoam for those who want a smoother texture or enjoy making latte art.
When it’s time, the machine will alert you to run its descaling program.
If you want an espresso machine that makes hot and cold brews and heats up quickly, the Breville Pixl is an option for you.
