Stick with my Bambino or upgrade to Breville Barista Pro [$500]

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

Please give me a reason NOT to buy a Breville Barista Pro

If you're going to buy a grinder, why pay for the grinder in the BBP you're not going to use, and have it take up counter space as well? If you like the workflow, get something like the Breville Infuser or something to go with a real grinder.

(beginner) can’t decide between breville barista pro and breville bambino [$400]

A bambino + Df54 grinder is a pretty common recommendation on this sub. It’s what I have currently, I love it. My vote is to get the bambino then go buy a df54 for $200-250 and you’ll still be less than the pro. I’ve had a barista express and a barista pro, my biggest issue with both was the grinder

I went through an entire 12oz bag of local roasted beans trying to """dial them in"""

Yep. Welcome to the world of espresso. My only tips I can give are: Get an excellent grinder. Don’t ever use a built in grinder like you see on Breville barista Pro or you will be stuck dialing in forever. Always Do double shots when dialing in. I used to think single shot was ideal for dialing in t

Is it time to throw in the towel? [$1000]

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

Used entry level grinder? [$150]

The one thing that kinda sucks here is they don't have the newer M2 burrs from Baratza. I had this burrset on my built in grinder in Breville Barista Pro and it wasn't great. But for a starting point it should be fine

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

Questions about going with Breville Grinder with BDB or going with a seperate type of grinder [$200-$300]

I just got a Turin DF64 gen 2 for a little more than what your “all in” is going to be for a standalone and it’s blowing my mind how much better it is than the onboard grinder in my Barista Pro. I think you’re much better off going that route rather than the $100 Breville grinder, but that’s my 2 ce

Breville Baratza grinder jamming--where to next?

I don't know the details of the grinder in the Barista Pro, but I'd be very surprised if it's considered good for light roasts. So if you're enjoying light roasts right now, I don't think you need to worry about any other grinder making that hard to do - at least, no harder than it is now. I'm also
