Barista Pro

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

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

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

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

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.

Ended up with the bambino plus paired with the DF54 grinder. I absolutely love it. I'm not an expert on the inner workings of the pump, but paired with the DF54 I can dial in consistent, 18g in 36 g out, 30 second shots that taste great. I've got friends who have the Turin Legato and different Brevi

Are you measuring water inside the Porto filter? I think it cools by the timer passes into a container to be measured. I sent my BBP to breville with the same complaint and the serviced it by replacing the heating element but I don’t. Price a change in the taste or warmth at all.

One of the reasons for getting this machine was the temp control. The medium to light roast requires a bit of a higher temp and the BBP was not pulling consistent shots, it was more forgiving on my wife's dark roasts, I did my own coffee at 96 degree and my coffee just tasted world's apart from the

If you're looking at Breville, go for the Bambino Plus. The ThermoJet system is a game changer for temperature stability and startup time. Pro tip: Buy a separate grinder. I own the Barista Pro and eventually had to buy a standalone grinder because the built-in one really struggles with light and me

Not defending my machine as it doesn't need any defence. I am giving advise to OP and answering his Q, why I think gcp is better then legato. Apparently Lance Hedrick thinks the same. Also, where I live, gcp e24 is cheaper than legato (it's called avx hero x and is around eur100 more expensive than
