Coffee and capsule compatibilityUses separately handled single, double and Luxe baskets in a portafilter, despite bean-to-cup wording in some marketing. User moves the portafilter from the grinder/tamper cradle to the brew group; extraction is not fully automatic bean-to-cup operation.Ground coffee in a separately handled portafilter; sold as Breville outside Europe.
Drinks and brewing modesEspresso, ristretto, lungo, quad and Americano settings; Classic, Rich, Over Ice and Cold Brew coffee styles. Available basket and drink combinations depend on selected model and mode.Espresso, long black and milk drinks; dedicated hot-water outlet. No maker-confirmed cold-extraction programme.
Heating system–ThermoJet; maker claims three-second heating to extraction temperature. Brewing and steaming run sequentially.
Temperature controlUK Pro manual provides Low, Medium and High brew and froth temperature settings without numerical degrees; no numerical extraction temperature is inferred.PID temperature control.
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.
GrinderIntegrated conical burr grinder with 25 selectable settings and Barista Assist grind recommendations.Hardened steel conical burrs with adjustable upper burr and side grind-size dial.
Dosing and tampingBuilt-in scale measures the dose; integrated lever tamper prepares the puck. UK manual recommends tamping twice and following subsequent grind recommendations.Adjustable timed grinding; removable magnetic tamper and Razor trimming tool. User tamps and transfers the portafilter to the group head.
Milk preparationAdvanced Dual Froth System automatically steams and whisks milk in the supplied XL jug, with steamed milk, thin, thick, extra-thick and cold froth presets. Steam wand auto-purges when returned to its storage position; manual frothing is also described by the Pro manual.Automatic steam wand with 40–75°C temperature selection and eight texture levels; manual steaming also available. Wipe before automatic purge.
Cold drinksCold Brew and cold-pressed espresso are maker-named rapid extraction modes. Over Ice is a separate mode and its name alone is not evidence of cold extraction. Manual requires ice in the vessel for cold coffee modes; these are not overnight immersion brewing.–

Electrical requirementsExact UK ES700 Pro manual specifies 220–240 V, 50–60 Hz and 1,650 W. Eco mode turns the boiler off after brewing; this does not establish whole-machine automatic power-off.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.
