The Breville Dual Boiler™ (BES920) delivers true café performance at home. Featuring two dedicated stainless steel boilers with PID temperature control, this machine lets you pull espresso shots and steam milk simultaneously — no waiting, no compromises.
A heated group head and professional 58mm stainless steel portafilter ensure thermal stability from start to finish. Low-pressure pre-infusion gently expands the coffee grounds before ramping up to optimal 9-bar extraction pressure, resulting in a balanced, full-flavored shot every time.

🔧 Kanen Tech Take
Julian (Lead Tech): "The Dual Boiler is really easy to configure — PID settings, pressure readout, brew and steam at the same time. Coffee tastes noticeably better than the Express Impress because of tight temperature control. The jump to 58mm portafilter is huge — that's the commercial standard, so accessories are everywhere."
Khaldoun (Senior Tech): "Great flavor consistency and excellent shots. Not slow at all. Main thing to watch over time is the seals on the steam boiler — they need replacing eventually."
Sam (Owner): "Powerful, precise temperature control. Easy to use and fill with the funnel." Check steam boiler gaskets every 2–3 years. We do this repair regularly and stock the parts.
