Breville BES985 Espresso Machine with Integrated Grinder
Guaranteed Safe Checkout
One Breville that grinds and brewsWhole beans in the top, espresso in your cup, one machine on the counter.
The Breville BES985 carries its own grinder within the body, turning whole beans into fresh grounds for the portafilter without a second appliance. This Breville espresso machine works semi-automatically, heats with what the listing calls instant heating and is run from a touch screen on the front panel. Pick it if you would rather pull shots and steam milk on one appliance at home; it comes in satin silver or sea salt white.
- Grinder built into the machine
- Instant heating system
- Front touch screen control
- Satin silver or sea salt white
Hands on where it counts
Semi-automatic means you stay in charge of the parts that shape the shot. You lock the portafilter in, start the extraction and texture milk with the wand yourself, while the machine takes care of grinding and heating. It sits between a fully manual lever machine and a push-button super-automatic.
The grinder lives inside the body, under the bean hopper on top. That matters more on a busy morning than any single figure: there is no second appliance to switch on, no carrying grounds from one device to another, and one less cord running across your counter.
What the supplier data leaves out
The listing names the model, the integrated grinder, the instant heating and the colour choices. It does not give pump pressure, water tank size, hopper capacity, dimensions or weight, so we leave those off this page rather than guess. Ask the store for any figure you need before you order.
Three reasons people choose it
Grinding on board
Beans are ground inside the machine for each shot. You get freshly ground coffee without a separate grinder claiming its own patch of worktop.
Instant heating
The listing describes the heating as instant. In practice that means less standing around between switching on and pulling your first espresso.
Screen and knob
The product photos show a touch screen on the front and a round knob on the left. Settings are read at a glance instead of decoded from small symbols.
Ask about the electrical rating first This page lists no electrical rating for this unit. Contact the store before ordering and we will confirm the rating of the exact machine you would receive. If it does not match the supply in your home, choose another machine from our range.
Two appliances or one
A machine plus a separate grinder
- Two footprints and two cords on the counter
- Grounds travel from one device to the other
- Two appliances to wipe down and keep dialled in
One machine that grinds and brews
- Beans and brewing share a single footprint
- The portafilter moves from grinder to group without a detour
- A single appliance to wipe down once the last cup is poured
If a standalone grinder already earns its place on your counter, a machine without one could suit you better.
Is it the right machine for you
A good match if you
- Want espresso and milk drinks made from whole beans at home
- Prefer one appliance to a machine paired with a grinder
- Like making the shot yourself with grinding and heating handled for you
- Want a finish that suits a silver or white kitchen
Look elsewhere if you
- Need published figures for pressure, tank size or dimensions before deciding; ask us first
- Already run a standalone grinder and want a dual boiler machine such as the LELIT Bianca V3 with E61 group
The details on record
Straight answers
Does this Breville grind the beans itself?
Yes. The grinder sits under the bean hopper on top of this Breville espresso machine, so grinding and brewing happen in one unit. You still lock in the portafilter and start the shot yourself, which is what semi-automatic means.
Does it froth milk too?
Yes. The product photos show a steam wand next to the group head. Use it to texture milk yourself for a cappuccino, a latte or a flat white.
What other espresso machines with grinders should I compare?
If you want a grinder built in but a different style of machine, look at the Barsetto BAE-03 with integrated grinder or the Care for Cafes machine and its grinder. Pick this one for the Breville name, the touch screen and instant heating.
Which finish should I choose?
Choose by your kitchen. Satin silver sits naturally next to metal appliances, while sea salt white keeps a lighter kitchen calm. Only the finish changes between the two.
