Barista Pro

Iirc thermo block machines like Breville need resistance to get the set temp. Even a PID controlled machine that is pumping 93 degrees does not mean you will get espresso at 93 degrees. If your shot is too sour grind finer, use a longer ratio or increase your dose. I used to own a BBP and found when

I got the Quick Mill Pop Up about a month ago and have loved it. I literally look at it every night looking forward to making coffee with it the next day. Idk if you're upgrading or this is your first machine but I upgraded from a Breville Barista Pro and it feels like such a step up. Better temp co

Breville machines are great. Had my BBP for two years and was able to make incredible drinks from it. The primary issue with them in my experience is that they are inconsistent - sometimes the espresso is amazing and other times it’s just totally off even though all the same parameters are in place.

I started with a Breville Barista Pro. There’s a significant learning curve but yes the end result can be as good or better than your local coffee shop if you use decent beans. The maths for a coffee (double shot with milk) at home is about $1.20-1.80 so it’s a huge saving that can cover start up co

Not quite, but the flow was clearly obstructed. The flow from the group head was coming out in slow drips and steam was coming out for the entire brew cycle. I think the heating unit was clogged with minerals from hard water. That was a while ago and I’ve since replaced the express with a barista pr

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

It’s interesting how my previous ~12 year old Breville Infuser had a heated group head but now it’s only the top of the line models that offer it. Was really surprised my Barista Pro didnt have it after I bought it

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 have the exact same issue with my BBP. It's called "wet steam". Even after a rigorous descale, it still continues. I'm starting to believe that it's simply a side effect of the thermoblock heating mechanism that is used in some breville machines rather than a traditional boiler.

There's really not a lot of consistency to be found in the temperature below PID machines. I would just be patient and spend the money on a worthwhile upgrade at the right time. I had a Breville Barista Pro for years until I saved enough for an Elizabeth, which was a dramatic upgrade that added a se
