Breville BES400XL ikon Espresso Machine

So, while we have the Breville Café Roma in for review, I thought I would point out the new Breville Espresso machine that is starting to pop up at finer stores around town. The new Breville ikon BES400XL Espresso Machine is part of the stylish Breville ikon line that includes beautiful stainless steel countertop appliances that will outfit almost your entire kitchen, from 4-slice toasters to Panini Grills. The Breville ikon Espresso machine has a more modern look to it with a turquoise water tank backing the brewing area, and minimalistic push button controls on the front. The ikon Espresso Machine comes with 65 ounce water tank, stainless steel all around, a 15 bar pump that delivers 198F brew water to the coffee. The double wall portafilters create fluffy crèma every time. The unit comes with three portafilter baskets for a single, double or an espresso pod. List price is $449.
