Do Breville Barista models go up in quality with an increase in price? [$1000]

"Do models go up in quality with an increase in price?" No. They don't go up in quality with price. ""Is the Express internals quality the same as the pro or touch?" I'd say the Express Internals are better than the Pro or Touch as far as pulling shots. The Express uses a thermocoil system which is

Looking for a coffee grinder for my moka pot (uk based)

See thats the issue really. Im not sure if I eventually want to buy a Breville Bambino Plus. I know its not the best espresso machine but I see them on ebay for open-box at decent prices. I wanted a baratza encore esp until I was at a buddys house and used his. That thing would literally wake up my

When someone says they have a breville bambino , usually the comments are , it’s a good beginner setup.

Its a really good question and im leaning towards no. My brother has a breville bambino + baratza encore esp and i have a rocket mozzafiato R + df64. I think the coffe tastes better on my own machine but wheter thats placebo or not i cant know. What i will say, however, is that if this hobby is a li

[Advice Needed] Taking the plunge from Breville Barista Pro to prosumer gear (machines considered: Profitec Go, Eureka Oro Mignon SD Pro, Mahlkönig X64 SD, Varia VS4, and Breville Bambino Plus)

Went from an older breville to a bambino plus. Bambino is built super cheap, took it back after trying it for a month and switched to the profitec go. Night and day difference. If you want to go down the rabbit hole hobby of espresso making, the profitec is the go to. Really rewards shot puck prep b

New beginner setup [<1000€]

personally i‘d recommend just going for the Eureka Niche Zero 55s, the DF54 or the DF64 if you want a „better upper limit“ grinder for starters just to get it „out of the way“ if you feel like upgrading you espresso machine later on, a lot of us run into the felt need to upgrade the grinder sooner t

Freshly roasted beans just hit different.

I have the bambino plus so the grinder is separate and I have tried a really fine pre ground aswell which choked it but this finest setting is still having the shit run through too fast 😭😭😭 The grinder is also breville

Considering simplifying / going manual

I was a newbie using a Breville Bambino plus, pretty quickly learned to pull decent or good shots consistently, then got quickly bored and frustrated with the lack of control, so I got a robot, thinking I might use both. Now selling my BB+ because I haven't touched it since getting the robot. The wo

Just can’t get the acidic/sour taste away from my espresso.

That's the main reason why I returned the breville bambino plus - inability to control the temperature and flow. I know it's a good starter espresso machine. I returned it after a week. Looking to buy a better machine now

Upgrade time

I upgraded from a Bambino Plus to a Quick Mill Pop Up, and it’s been a major step up. I never felt like the Bambino got the best out of lighter roasts, even medium-light beans. The Pop Up has much better temp stability (you've got 1/2 liter of water at the right temperature and a lot of metal in the

Flair Pro 2 or Breville Bambino? Which would you recommend?

Coming to this 3 years later, I did a side by side taste test (using the Bambino Plus to steam both cups) and the Flair Pro 2 produced a WAY better cup of espresso. I wouldn't say slightly worse with the Breville by any means. It's absolutely significant. It is drinkable? Sure is. It's about on par
