The Best Breville Products We’ve Tested

We’re firm believers that not every brand makes the best of everything. But there are certainly some brands that make really, truly great stuff across multiple categories. Including Breville! (And OXO and ThermoWorks, just so you don’t think we’re shilling for any brand, as this post is totally unsponsored.)

Recently, we went through our equipment reviews to find the best-of-the-best of Breville: products we’ve already tested, vetted, and highly recommended.

Amazon


We named this one of our favorite coffee grinders after testing, but it’s been a standby for a long time. As we said in our review, “Breville’s Smart Grinder Pro has been the Serious Eats office grinder for years, grinding beans for multiple pots of coffee daily, and it’s done that job admirably.” We particularly like its large dial for adjusting grind size and its clear LCD screen. Overall it’s an excellent coffee grinder for less than $200.

Our reviewer described our favorite espresso machine perfectly: “It’s almost more difficult to make a bad espresso drink with this machine than it is to make a good one.” It’s simple to set up and has just a handful of buttons. Plus, at about $400, it’s pretty dang affordable as far as espresso machines go.

Breville Smart Scoop Ice Cream Compressor

Crate & Barrel


If you’re gonna splurge on an ice cream maker, make it this model from Breville. It’s self-freezing (read: no having to remember to pop the canister into the freezer the day before), so you can make ice cream on a whim (well, more or less!). It has 12 hardness settings and pre-cool and keep-cool options. Adorably, it also features “classic ice cream truck tunes that alert you when your ice cream is done churning.”

This air fryer toaster oven has a smaller footprint than other models we tested, but we found the fry basket to be “wide and roomy, which means you can cook a large volume of food without sacrificing crispiness.” It’s also available in some fun colors (like Damson Blue). Aesthetic!

Breville Handy Mix Scraper

Amazon


This was one of the most powerful, fastest hand mixers we tested. It even has a focus light that shines into the mixing bowl and a built-in timer, so you can know exactly how long you’ve been creaming butter for. We also appreciated the silicone-coated beaters, which allows you to avoid that scrape-scrape, metal-on-metal noise.

Williams Sonoma Breville Control Grip Immersion Blender

After testing a whole lot of immersion blenders, we thought the Breville stood out for, yes, the stick blender itself, but also its accessories. It comes with a whisk attachment, blending jar, and mini chopper. It also has a comfortable, soft-grip handle.

Breville Sous Chef 16 Cup Peel

Breville Citrus Press Pro Juicer

Amazon


Breville The Citrus Press

Williams Sonoma


After testing 11 electric citrus juicers and squeezing more limes, oranges, and grapefruits than we need to for a lifetime, we chose two models from Breville as our top picks. Both have long spindles and arms that keep citrus in place and press it down effectively, juicing small and large fruit well. They were also both very stable—a trait not all electric citrus juicers shared.

Good to Know

  • Weight: 11 pounds (Pro); 7.1 pounds (Press)
  • Warranty: 1-year limited (both)
  • Price at time of publish: $230 (Pro); $150 (Press)

 Breville BPR700BSS Fast Slow Pro Slow Cooker

Amazon


Breville’s multicooker allows you to set the pressure in 0.5 PSI increments, which is why we dubbed it the best multicooker for “control freaks.” Like most of Breville’s products, it’s easy to use and has a bright control screen and clearly labeled control buttons/knobs.

Good to Know

  • Dimensions: 12.5 by 13.5 by 14 inches
  • Weight: 14 pounds
  • Warranty: 1-year limited
