Barista Pro

I have a Breville Barista pro, and I get milk drinks better than 90+% of cafes (to my tastes) out of it, and thats with an integrated grinder which this sub generally doesn’t like at all. I also love the straight espresso that i can get out of my machine, it's balanced and I don't find I have that m

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.

I have the Breville Barista Pro (similar machine), I love it. Got it at TJ Maxx for 50% off and have no complaints, makes a great espresso. Grinder is perfectly fine too. I’m not an espresso nerd by any means, I just want a good shot, and it does exactly that once you get it dialed in.

I've owned this machine. The built in grinder can't grind fine enough for proper espresso with only 8 settings. Absolute shit house, I finally upgraded to a breville barista pro after 3 long painful years and it's life changing. The built in grinder can actually grind fine enough for Esresso, I will

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

Dont know about the machine, as I am still using my barista pro. But the DF64 I have and it was a solid upgrade. I would just get the grinder tbh. Once I got the DF64+Breville Pro combo, my shots are quite close to my local shops espresso. Within 10-15% range which is plenty close until I really wan

I’ve played with a lot of coffee equipment over the years. While I don’t have a breville on my coffee bar, I really like them! I used the Barista Pro for a while and think it’s a good machine for most people who just want some decent espresso. What I don’t like about it is the built in grinder. I’ve

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.

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

Machines with built in grinders are almost always a mistake. If you insist on one, Breville Barista Pro is by far the best of them, much better than the DeLonghi you linked. But for a similar price you can get a Breville Bambino or Bambino Plus with a good grinder such as a DF54, which will be a muc
