Barista Express

Ppl act like just because he said dark roast, you can run any type of Walmart machine and it'll come out fine. He already mentioned he didn't like the inconsistency with his Breville Barista Express. The Bambino is a great machine, but it has its limits and you will get better consistency with other

I have no idea about wattage converting or warranty claims in south east Asia but out of these two machines the Breville is higher quality and will make better coffee. That said, as someone with a Breville Barista Express, if I were purchasing an entry level espresso machine again I would get a Brev

The problem with espresso machines with built-in grinders is that the grinders are of poor quality. When brewing espresso, the grinder is the most important part of the setup, much more important than the brewer. A Breville Bambino Plus paired with a DF54, Baratza ESP Pro, or Eureka Mignon Zero 55s

If nothing is wrong with the duo temp, it’s internally the same brewer as the barista express so the coffee will be very very very similar as if you got the standalone Breville grinder for much less money. If you put the $900 into a grinder then you’ll get a substantial upgrade and can match it with

It has high retention and also doesn’t grind as uniformly as other standalone. When I had the breville barista express I purchased a niche grinder and it made the coffee much better.

The newer ones may be better - this was over 10 years ago. I then moved to a Dual Boiler

I was espresso making nerd mode for a few days hahaha. Thought about many things… When you choose high-end machines, it’s about… How serious you want to be since you will spend a lot of money. If you want to be serious like nerd then Decent will be the machine since you can change brew temperature d

Breville Barista Express user here. IMS had no noticeable impact as it doesn't address the water stream offset issue of the BBE. Pesado on the other hand made a huge difference in water distribution through the puck and in consistency of pulls.

Five years out of a Barista Pro is about average. The 5-second shutoff is usually a failing solenoid valve or a clogged flow meter, and Breville repair costs often hit $150-250 which is hard to justify on a machine that may have other components aging out. At $1000, you're in a really good spot for
