Why is my shot squirting? [Breville Barista Pro]
The things others here are saying (puck prep, grinder, etc.) are certainly applicable, but a lesser known factor is pressure. A lot of Breville machines (aside from the Dual Boiler) have an issue where the pressure hitting the puck is far, far higher than the claimed 9 bar figure. The over-pressure

What purchase felt expensive at the time but was completely worth it?
Literally came here to say this. Breville too. Barista Pro. 7 years and counting. I still get takeaway coffees, but only one or two here or there, rather than all of them.

First machine - [$750] - low maintenance?
Breville Barista Pro. I used mine for years, works great, easy to maintain. It tells you on the screen when you have to scale and flush it, so you can't forget.

My Home Setup
Moving to a dual boiler made a huge difference. The quality of the steamed milk is night and day different and the consistency between shots is so much better. With the BBP, I was able to get fairly consistent shots on the first pull of the day but anything back to back struggled mightily. The touch

I just want a simple, daily driver espresso setup at home [$700]
You’re right, they are using $6,000 grinder (jk) but they are probably using a commercial grinder and it’s probably around 3k or more. If you don’t want a fussy grinder do not get a df. If you are going for more traditional espresso and want simple efficiency, go with a eureka grind by time, dial it

Is it worth paying $500 for the Profitec RIDE over the MOVE? [$3,000]
Two cents from someone on a similar journey as OP's, who just bought a Profitec RIDE (incidentally, that crapped out after a week due to an electronics issue) as an upgrade from Breville Barista Pro: There is a learning curve moving from a saturated grouphead-style machine to an E61 machine. The wor

I'm in need of a new coffee machine!
Definitely go with a Breville. They are very reliable and there’s heaps of videos on YouTube to learn from. I have the Breville Barista Pro and love it. They regularly come on sale.

Upgrade from 49-54mm machine to 58mm: regrets?
I upgraded from a breville barista pro to a 58.5mm Profitec move. It's amazingly more temperature stable, etc. I have had shots that are 2x as good as with my breville, but that's not likely driven by the portafilter size. The biggest difference IMO is that a lot of 58mm machines have better build q

Why my coffe always taste too bitter or too sour ? [Breville Barista Express / MiiCoffee Grinder]
I have the Barista Pro and I always use 18 grams. Never had issues, it's actually the recommended dose for the breville.
