Breville BES870XL 15 bar espresso machine with 54 mm tamper

Integrated Grinder and 15 bar Pump

This Breville BES870XL combines a stainless steel conical burr grinder with a 15 bar pump in a single countertop unit. The half-pound bean hopper feeds fresh grounds directly into the 54 mm portafilter for each shot. Programmable grind size and dose dials let you adjust extraction from fine to coarse. A magnetized 54 mm tamper stores on the machine for consistent tamping pressure.

Countertop Footprint and Power Needs

The stainless steel chassis includes a removable 2 L water tank and a built-in cup warming plate. Operation requires a 110 to 120 volt supply for the 1600 W thermocoil heating system. No separate grinder or knock box is needed, freeing bench space for accessories. The locking hopper allows easy bean storage or transfer without spilling grounds across the work surface.

Shot Capacity and Workflow Limits

The integrated grinder and 54 mm filter baskets support single and double wall baskets with automatic dose adjustment via the filter size button. The 2 L tank supplies multiple drinks before refilling, while the thermocoil reaches brewing temperature in under a minute. High-volume service or simultaneous steam and brew cycles will exceed the single boiler’s recovery speed. Buyers needing continuous café throughput or dual boiler temperature stability should consider a different class of machine.
