Maximum pump pressure (maker's claim)	–	15 bar
Coffee and capsule compatibility
Coffee and capsule compatibility	Semi-automatic portafilter machine; the user moves the basket from the grinding cradle to the group head and tamps espresso by hand. Bean-to-cup marketing does not mean automatic extraction from hopper to cup.	Ground coffee in a separately handled portafilter; sold as Breville outside Europe.
Drinks and brewing modes
Drinks and brewing modes	Current UK page advertises four espresso styles and Classic, Rich, Over Ice and Cold Brew coffee styles, with seven coffee sizes and four milk presets. Available selections depend on basket and version.	Espresso, long black and milk drinks; dedicated hot-water outlet. No maker-confirmed cold-extraction programme.
Heating system
Heating system	–	ThermoJet; maker claims three-second heating to extraction temperature. Brewing and steaming run sequentially.
Temperature control
Temperature control	UK manual offers Low, Medium and High brew and milk temperatures without numerical degrees. No precise extraction temperature is inferred.	PID temperature control.
Pressure conditions
Pressure conditions	–	Maker specifies 15 bar maximum pump pressure, low-pressure pre-infusion and 9 bar extraction; maximum pressure is not a coffee-quality rating.
Grinder
Grinder	Integrated conical burr grinder with 25 selectable settings; Barista Assist recommends a grind setting based on drink and subsequent extraction.	Hardened steel conical burrs with adjustable upper burr and side grind-size dial.
Dosing and tamping
Dosing and tamping	Integrated scale measures the coffee dose. Separate assisted tamper and funnel are supplied; coffee modes use the Luxe basket without espresso-style tamping, as directed by the UK manual.	Adjustable timed grinding; removable magnetic tamper and Razor trimming tool. User tamps and transfers the portafilter to the group head.
Portafilter and baskets
Portafilter and baskets	Current UK silver, black and Cyber Space pages include single, double and Luxe baskets. The older manual warns that single baskets are not compatible with every version; earlier US reviews' missing single basket does not establish its absence from current UK kits.	–
Milk preparation
Milk preparation	Dual Froth System steams and whisks milk in the supplied jug; steamed milk, thin froth, thick froth and cold foam presets support dairy or plant-based selection. Return the steam wand to its storage position for automatic purge; manual frothing is described in the UK manual.	Automatic steam wand with 40–75°C temperature selection and eight texture levels; manual steaming also available. Wipe before automatic purge.
Cold drinks
Cold drinks	Cold Brew and cold-pressed espresso are named rapid modes, distinct from Over Ice. The manual requires ice in the vessel; these modes are not overnight immersion cold brewing.	–
Capacity
Water tank
Water tank	2 L	2 L
Bean hopper
Bean hopper	–	250 g
Water supply
Water supply	Exact ES601UK manual specifies a removable 2 L reservoir; test water hardness and follow descaling prompts.	Removable rear tank with filter.
Cup sizes and clearance
Cup sizes and clearance	Seven maker coffee sizes from 175 to 530 ml; concentrated cold or over-ice modes dispense less liquid than the nominal cup size. Adjustable cup tray and removable centre drip tray accommodate different vessels.	–

Controls and profiles
Controls and profiles	Buttons and dials select grinding, brew style, size, strength, froth, milk type, cleaning and purge; integrated accessory storage holds the tamper, funnel and spare parts.	Touchscreen presets and customised drinks; current feature page states eight saved personalised coffees while older specification table states six. UK manual confirms timed single/double/custom extraction and manual start/stop.
Electrical requirements
Electrical requirements	Original ES601UK UK manual specifies 220–240 V, 50–60 Hz and 1,800 W, while the current maker silver table lists 1,650 W. Headline power is omitted pending resolution. Eco mode disables the boiler after brewing; this is not proof of whole-machine automatic shutdown.	UK page states 1680 W; linked UK manual rates 1380–1650 W, 220–240 V, 50–60 Hz. Main power is omitted because these differ. Auto-off after 30 minutes.
Size and weight
Size and weight	Current UK marketing states height 37.2, width 33.6 and length 34.4 cm with 17 kg, while its structured table gives 50.8 cm height, 38.71 cm width, 40.41 cm length and 11.77 kg. The unlabelled conflict is preserved here; neither set is assumed to be body-only measurements.	Main dimensions follow the maker's labelled diagram, W31.7 × D32.2 × H40.6 cm. UK text table instead lists 40 × 31.9 × 31.4 cm under WxDxH.
Included accessories
Included accessories	Current UK kit lists portafilter, three baskets, assisted tamper, funnel, milk jug with whisk, cleaning brush/disc, descaling powder and hardness strip. Finish and promotional kit contents can vary.	Dosing funnel, 54 mm portafilter, single/double single-wall and dual-wall baskets, magnetic tamper, Razor tool, 480 ml milk jug, cleaning kit, hardness strip and water filter.
Cleaning and maintenance
Cleaning and maintenance	Clean used baskets and portafilter, wipe the steam wand promptly, empty the drip tray and run prompted cleaning/descaling cycles. Manual explains that purge and pressure-control water fill the drip tray during ordinary operation.	Touchscreen cleaning/descaling guidance; backflush group head, clean grinder, wipe/purge wand and empty drip tray.
Regional availability
Regional availability	Exact UK black ES601UKBK and Cyber Space ES601UKCY purchase fragments have enabled Add to Cart, checked October 2026; local delivery conditions apply. Silver ES601UK currently offers Notify Me and is explicitly out of stock, despite remaining listed.	Stainless-steel UK SKU had active maker stock on 3 October 2026; the four other listed finishes were out of stock.
Release and generation details
Release and generation details	Maker pages read do not establish worldwide first retail sale; the original manual's copyright or upload date is not a launch date.	–
