In this video, I show you the โฌ65 Briel B14S - a small single boiler espresso machine, with 53mm portafilter and pressurized basket. This little machine looks quite retro and cute, and with its heated brew group, does have some potential. Let's see how this little guy works for pressurized espresso, unpressurized espresso, and for milk steaming.
