At a glance

The Breville Pixl (VCF193 in black; also sold in oat and grey) is a small, plastic-bodied manual espresso machine for ground coffee. It has a 15-bar pump, a 52 mm portafilter, a 0.6-litre tank, Thermoblock heating and a steam wand. Its big strength is the very small footprint, and early owners find it easy to use, quick to heat and capable of good espresso and frothed milk. The trade-offs are a light, plasticky build that slides when the portafilter is attached, a stiff portafilter at first, some noise and a small water tank. There is no grinder, so you need pre-ground coffee or a separate grinder. It suits beginners stepping up from pods and anyone short on counter space. Those wanting a sturdier, heavier machine should look at larger models. It launched in October 2026, so long-term reliability is not yet known and no independent lab test has been published.

Strengths

  • Very small footprint (about 19.5 x 33 x 29 cm), which users repeatedly praise for small kitchens and offices
  • Simple to set up and operate, with single/double shot presets
  • Good espresso and a steam wand many users find surprisingly powerful
Show all (5)
  • Dishwasher-safe parts and descale warning; easy to clean
  • Seen by owners as good value for a first proper espresso machine

Things to consider

  • Very light: the machine moves when the portafilter is locked in or removed and often needs steadying by hand; the portafilter can be stiff at first
  • Mostly plastic build that some owners find cheap-feeling
  • Pump and steam wand can be loud
Show all (5)
  • Ground coffee only (no grinder) and a small 0.6-litre tank
  • Feedback is early and mostly from promotional review programmes; durability is unknown
Who is it for, and who is it not for?

Good for

  • Small kitchens, flats, offices, caravans or crowded worktops
  • Beginners moving up from pod machines who want to learn espresso and milk steaming
  • People who want both hot espresso and cold-brew-style drinks from one compact machine

May not suit

  • Anyone wanting a heavy, solid metal machine that stays put when fitting the portafilter
  • Those who want bean-to-cup convenience or a built-in grinder
  • Households making many drinks in a row who would refill a 0.6-litre tank often

Go to the original reviews

Early owners mostly love how small the Pixl is. It fits crowded worktops, small kitchens and offices, and many describe it as an easy first step up from pod machines. Espresso is described as smooth and rich with crema, and the steam wand is often called surprisingly powerful for lattes and cappuccinos. The main practical niggle is weight: the machine is so light that it slides when the portafilter is locked in or removed, and the portafilter can feel stiff at first. Others mention noise from the pump and wand, a plasticky feel, a small milk jug and the lack of a grinder. One buyer could not get frothy milk and returned it. Feedback so far is from the first weeks of ownership and largely from promotional review programmes.

  1. S*** 3/5 17 October 2026 Amazon Black

    It’s very compact, so perfect for an office space. Made a nice smooth tasting coffee shot. However, the machine is SO small and SO lightweight that every time I tried to put the ground coffee in it portafilter and twist it on, the whole machine tries to move with it. … The other issue I had with this machine was I could not get the milk to have a lovely frothy head for a latte. I followed the instructions by the letter but nope, it would not forth.

  2. S*** 4/5 12 October 2026 Amazon Black; Vine review of free product

    This is our first "proper" coffee machine after using coffee pods for a while. So far we've been really pleased with it. … It's straightforward to operate, heats up quickly and makes a lovely smooth, creamy espresso. … If I had to pick a downside, it's that the compact size also means the machine is quite lightweight. When attaching or removing the filter holder it can move around a bit unless you steady it. I've found that simply placing a hand on top of the machine solves the problem so it's more of a minor niggle than a serious fault.

  3. L*** M*** 5/5 25 October 2026 Amazon Black

    Really impressed with this dinky machine. It feels a little lightweight - but that’s kind of the point as it takes up a minimal footprint so is perfect for small kitchens. Makes a decent fresh coffee (sadly not bean to cup but that’s the trade off size and price wise) and is simple to use and clean.

  4. L*** H*** 5/5 5 October 2026 Amazon Oat (VCF196)

    I love this little machine. It does exactly what it says it does and is compact and cost effective. I'm so impressed. Its very lightweight so it could do with a means of securing it to the counter but that's my only gripe. Its only an issue initially when the portafilter is tight. Once it loosens a bit there is no issue at all.

  5. B*** b*** 5/5 25 October 2026 Amazon Black

    This is like a compact version of a professional coffee maker. Does everything a ground espresso coffee machine would do but on a smaller scale.. ideal ! Quick heat up, easy to operate, reasonably priced

  6. P*** 5/5 20 October 2026 Amazon Black

    Impressed by this small format barista style coffee machine! Looks great and delivers tasty coffee for limited counter space! I am now a pro milk frother (and oat milk!)

  7. s*** r*** 5/5 21 October 2026 Amazon Oat (VCF196)

    Looks good just been using recently so fairly new at using the espresso maker. Good value for money, easy to use, easy to clean. Would purchase again.

  8. F*** A*** 5/5 23 October 2026 Amazon Black

    Lovely little espresso machine. Milk frother allow you to have cafe-like cappuccinos and lattes whenever you want.

  9. L*** M*** 5/5 21 October 2026 Currys Black; syndicated from Breville

    A great 1st coffee machine for getting used to making coffees at home without the price tag … feels cheap as its mostly plastic (including the coffee basket handle) … milk jug is on the small side but still big enough for 1 cup at a time

  10. Customer 5/5 20 October 2026 Currys Black; reviewer received the machine to review

    I did have a bit of a struggle with the initial priming -the pump was running but no water was coming through at first. It turned out to be a temporary airlock … Both the coffee brewing and the steam wand are a bit on the loud side

  11. Customer 5/5 23 October 2026 Currys Black; syndicated from Breville

    Very impressed with this compact espresso machine. Takes up so little space! … abit tight to attach upon first use but is noticeably easier after a few uses

  12. H*** G*** 4/5 20 October 2026 Currys Black; syndicated from Breville

    I loved using the product, very easy to set up and perfect for a great cup of coffee in the morning … not expecting the steam wand to be as powerful as it is. The only thing I wish it had was a bean grinder.

  13. L*** C*** 5/5 24 October 2026 Currys Black; syndicated from Breville

    What a great coffee machine. I like that it’s a size that doesn’t take up too much space on the counter but still gives great selection of coffees. It’s easy to set up, and easy to us…

  14. A*** E*** 5/5 21 October 2026 Currys Black; syndicated from Breville

    This coffee machine starts of loud until it gets going then it quite down a little, its easy to use put water in tank, coffee in front and pre…

  15. L*** T*** 5/5 20 October 2026 Currys Black; syndicated from Breville

    Amazing compact espresso machine having a small kitchen is hard to find appliances that are compact but dont lack in quality and performance. … instructions are really straight forward

  16. M*** 5/5 19 October 2026 Argos Grey (VCF202); collected in Breville promotion

    The Breville PIXL Compact Espresso Maker is as described, compact and great at making a variety of coffee’s. The product itself is very sleek and modern looking, light weight and easy to use. It does however tend to make a mess outside of the spill tray so keep a cloth to hand to wipe down surfaces.

  17. K*** 5/5 16 October 2026 Argos Grey (VCF202); collected in Breville promotion

    Thirdly the speed. It made the coffee in no time. I'm impressed by how quick it heated up the water and coffee pouring out. … This isn't the quietest machine but it does sound powerful.

  18. R*** 4/5 17 October 2026 Argos Grey (VCF202); collected in Breville promotion

    The sleek and compact design makes it ideal for any space. The setup was very easy (although make sure you wash it throughly before use). Makes an excellent coffee and the foam is a lovely bonus. Will save a fortune on coffees out now as I can make them the same at home.

  19. L*** 5/5 16 October 2026 Argos Grey (VCF202); collected in Breville promotion

    Absolutely love the slim design that’s easy to fit on my crowded kitchen worktop! Excellent functions and love the ability to have either hot brew for winter and cold brew for summer. Easy to clean and maintain.

  20. T*** 5/5 15 October 2026 Argos Grey (VCF202); collected in Breville promotion

    Received this coffee maker which is compact but mighty ! Makes a great espresso with crema , which was a real pleasant surprise. Absolute upgrade from our pod machine and coffee pot. Takes up very little space but can handle a double espresso with ease..

  21. P*** 4/5 15 October 2026 Argos Grey (VCF202); collected in Breville promotion

    A really compact but well performing machine! I particularly like the hot water function to heat the coffee cups first! The parts it comes with all work great, and its so easy to understand the instructions and buttons. The milk frother makes a great hot foam. Only used it once so far…

  22. Y*** 5/5 22 October 2026 Argos Grey (VCF202); collected in Breville promotion

    Such a cute little coffee machine, but don’t get fooled by its size , the little compact body doesn’t compromise on taste! Amazing performance! Nice rich coffee! Easy to set up and start away !
