Coffee and capsule compatibilitySemi-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 modesCurrent 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.UK table lists 14 presets including espresso, milk drinks, hot water and cold recipes; custom drinks can be saved.
Heating system–ThermoJet system; maker claims extraction temperature in three seconds. Brewing and milk texturing run sequentially.

GrinderIntegrated conical burr grinder with 25 selectable settings; Barista Assist recommends a grind setting based on drink and subsequent extraction.40 mm conical Baratza burrs; manual size dial with adjustable upper burr.
Dosing and tampingIntegrated 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.Screen-guided dosing corrects the next grind time; assisted lever tamp applies 10 kg and a 7° twist. User transfers the portafilter to the group head.
Portafilter and basketsCurrent 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 preparationDual 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 or manual steaming; dairy, almond, soy and oat settings, eight texture levels.

Cold drinksCold Brew and cold-pressed espresso are named rapid modes, distinct from Over Ice.
