Breville Espresso Machine

The item depicted is a Breville espresso machine, likely a semi-automatic model given the presence of a portafilter and dedicated buttons for brewing and steaming. It features a brushed stainless steel exterior, giving it a modern and durable appearance. The dimensions appear to be compact, suitable for a kitchen countertop, though exact measurements are not discernible. The top panel includes a central dial for selecting functions (possibly brew, hot water, steam) and two circular buttons, labeled “HOT WATER” and “STEAM,” indicating its multi-functionality. There is also a power button. The brand name "Breville" is clearly visible above the central dial. To the left of the main brew head, a visible water level indicator suggests a transparent water reservoir behind it. A black portafilter with a silver end cap is inserted into the group head, equipped with a single spout for espresso extraction. Below the group head is a ribbed or grated drip tray, also made of stainless steel, designed to catch spills. The drip tray shows some minor water spots or dried coffee residue, indicating regular use but no significant damage or deep scratches. To the right, a black steam wand with a black handle is visible, used for frothing milk. Overall, the machine appears to be in good, used condition, with typical signs of light wear but no major dents or malfunctions visible. The construction suggests a focus on quality and user-friendliness, typical of Breville's product line. Its aesthetic aligns with contemporary kitchen designs, emphasizing clean lines and metallic finishes. The estimated age is likely within the last 5-10 years, reflecting current appliance trends.
