The Breville Barista Max+ VCF152 is an espresso machine for people who want more control over their grind and dose without the guesswork. It pairs an integrated bean grinder with feedback-led dosing and an LED extraction timer, so you can dial in a consistent espresso shot each time, whether you’re making a straight espresso or building a latte.

- LED extraction timer — helps you track and repeat a good shot.
- 15-bar pump with 58 mm portafilter — commercial-style extraction and crema.

Good to know
Fill the hopper with whole beans rather than pre-ground coffee — this model is designed to grind on demand. Purge and wipe the steam wand after each milk texturing session, and follow the manufacturer’s descaling schedule to keep the pump and boiler performing well.
