The Breville Cafe Roma ESP8XL is a 5-cup, pump-driven espresso machine with a stainless steel finish. The Breville Cafe Roma machine comes with two stainless steel espresso cups and a milk frothing pitcher so that only ground espresso coffee and water is needed to begin making espresso right away. Add milk and this machine can make cappuccinos, lattes, and other coffee beverages as well. The dial control selects between three settings: standby, espresso, and steam. The ESP8XL has a heating indicator light on the front top. This light glows orange as the machine is heating up, then turns off when the temperature and pressure are ready to make espresso. The indicator light will cycle on and off as shots are pulled and the pressure and heat rebuild for the next espresso shot. The 40.58-ounce water tank is large enough to make five cups of espresso with enough water left to steam milk. When it is time to refill the water tank, a clear sight glass allows for easy and accurate filling. The Cafe Roma’s water tank sight window even has a floating water level indicator to make it easy to see when water is needed. The water tank is also removable, which allows for easy filling, cleaning, and drying. The Breville Cafe Roma ESP8XL has a warming tray integrated into the machine’s top, and uses the boiler heat to warm up to six espresso cups when the machine is in use. This espresso machine’s cup warming tray is good for making multiple espresso shots or coffee drinks, and is also a convenient place to store espresso cups when the machine is idle. The Breville Cafe Roma ESP8XL also has a removable drip tray to catch espresso or water drips and make clean-up of the tray simple and quick. The included frother is an accessory that fits over the steam wand and makes it easy to produce silky milk foam. The steam wand can be used with or without the froth enhancer, so a wider range of steamed milk espresso drinks can be prepared. Another feature is the machine’s double-wall filter
