Switching from BBE to Bambino

I had BBE impress before and upgraded to HX machine. I thought I’m done with Breville coffee machine but I just got bambino from Marshall’s for $169 for red tag sale. My suggestion will be… keep your machine and save money for next machine instead of going down. BBE can pre-heat group head so if you

Just joined the club.

I got a Move middle of last fall after lots of research following a dead Breville Barista Express. We got 10 years out of the BBE, and at first I was like "I don't want to spend too much money - I should just get the same thing." Well of course I looked around and fell in love with the idea of a nic

Sage Barista Pro (built-in Baratza grinder) – worth upgrading to a separate grinder?

I did almost like you did for my first setup I got a Breville Infuser and Baratza Encore ESP pro. Reason why I got the Infuser over BBP (Breville Bambino Plus) is because I wanted the expresso machine with PID controller for brewing temperature control so I could dial in all kinds of roast and it’s

Switching from BBE to Bambino

Id imagine they're pretty close to the same thing, so not worth it (not sure if the Bambino has a PID like the BBE though). I had a Breville Infuser for a long time which is the same brew setup as the BBE (no grinder). Great machine but when it died the upgrade I made was to a Dual Boiler (they are

Espresso Machines

I have a Breville Barista Express, it’s fantastic. It has a built in grinder you can dial in, a steam wand, hot water (I use a kettle tbh the water isn’t hot enough) also the 1971 roast makes excellent espresso!

Upgrade from Breville [$4000]

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

Feedback wanted

I’ve been using the Profitec Move (paired with a DF64 V2) for a while now and I’m really happy with it. I came from about 7 years on a Breville Barista Express, which I had dialled in very well, and the Move is a clear step up in terms of consistency, temperature stability, and overall feel. Shots a

Ajuda a escolher máquina de café (~700€)

Se não eles não precisam de um hobby novo, ou não estão para merdas e só querem um café, alguma bean to cup delonghi por 300 euros. Caso contrário, breville bambino plus e um DF54. Vai dar trabalho e vão ter que querer aprender mas podem fazer café de outro mundo. E também vão acabar por gastar mais

Agree. Your machine is chefs kiss! I have a breville barista express and this subreddit makes me want an awesome machine so badly.
