Ranked #7 in Best Bread Machines

Breville Custom Loaf Bread Maker

3.8

2 sources$391.95as of Sep 25

The Breville Custom Loaf Bread Maker turns out high-quality bread with crispy crusts and a light crumb. Reviewers keep coming back to the automatic fruit and nut dispenser, along with how much of each recipe you can customize. TechGearLab called it a machine for recipe tinkerers, noting the included recipes give only average results. It's large and bulky enough to be a significant kitchen commitment, and the collapsible paddle is finicky and fragile. Serious bread makers who want customization more than convenience are the buyers.

Strengths

— Produces crispy-crust bread with light and fluffy crumb texture
— Features automatic fruit and nut dispenser that adds mix-ins at the perfect time
— Has a collapsible kneading blade that folds in before baking to allow dough expansion

Watch-outs

— Machine is bulky and takes up significant counter space
