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

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!

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

Kucni espresso aparat sa PID regulacijom do 500-600€?
Nije li to najblize 58mm sto je valjda najzastupljeniji standard? Drugo koliko googlam Lelit Anna PL41TEM u imenu slovo T znaci temperature, pretraga kaze da ima PID regulaciju, mozes za stepen -+ da regulises.. Sad da ga jbm, nisam se udubljivao u taj konkretan model, potrazi malo dublje. Ja imam B

My new setup
Agree. Your machine is chefs kiss! I have a breville barista express and this subreddit makes me want an awesome machine so badly. Now I just got my breville( my first manual espresso machine) at the end of Jan 2026 and I’ve been diving pretty fast into it. For me some beans I would run at setting 1

I'm in need of a new coffee machine!
The Barista Express did me for three years before upgrading to a dual boiler machine (Rancilio Silvia Pro X) If I were starting out today I’d look at a Breville Bambino Plus and spend some decent $$ on a grinder that you can hang on to if you upgrade machines. Buy good beans by specialty roasters

Freshly unboxed and feeling ever so slightly intimidated having upgraded from my 6yo Bambino plus
But that’s not a fair comparison…a Breville Barista Express & a Lelit Elizabeth are 2 different machines. Breville is single boiler, very beginner friendly, limited additional functions, don’t like the built in grinder. Breville offers very user friendly and affordable machine. There’s nothing reall

I Love It. I Am Content. It Is Enough. And No, I don’t care
I had BBE for 10 years until I replaced it this weekend. I was tossing up from everything between profitec to Silvia pro x and at the pricing of breville in Australia BDB unbeatable for the pure technical adjustments it has. Of course some of machines are prettier, but at double the price for sure t
