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

Bambino to Breville Barista Pro is not an upgrade. Performance between these two machines would be virtually identical and you'd be losing the convenience of instant heat-up with the Bambino and its smaller footprint. Your issue is the pre-ground coffee you're putting into your machine. A Bambino pa

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

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

I just obtained a Lucca M58 with manual paddle flow control, a step up from my BBP for sure. I'm on day 3 with the Luca, and already using flow control and liking the results. I haven't got it fully figured out yet, but will definitely expand the beans/roast spectrum and play with the flow. I'm curr

If you want reliability and don’t care about convenience or workflow don’t get a Breville. For similar money you can get a Gaggia Classic or even the Classic Pro, which are basic enough for diy repairs. As for BBE vs BBP, definitely get the pro, it’s a better machine. I have the Impress which is goi

Makes sense. Do you use the shot by weight function on the Mini? Im wondering if its worth the extra cost of the paired scale. For me, Im looking for a small device that will give me more consistent shots and steamed milk texture than my current breville barista pro, which is like fighting an uphill

Does the longer heat up time bother you? I’m really tempted to switch from Breville Barista Pro to Meraki or LM Micra or Mini but the price tag seems insane for just better milk if I’m already happy with my shots. I pretty much just drink dark roast and milk based drinks so the espresso has been fin

I read that the ESP Pro is quieter than the normal ESP, and if the rumor was right that I have one in my breville barista pro (or at least similar performance), I’d probably go with that one on reputation and ease of getting it serviced. Noise was my biggest complaint in the one that came with my br

Dude with this budget get the breville dual boiler and a df54/64. You'll make so much better coffee than with your current setup of the BBP.
