Why is my shot squirting? [Breville 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

I’ve had enough [BDB]
Breville dose control pro 🤣🤣 Pairing that with a BDB has got to be like having a Ferrari and putting 87 octane in it

What’s the best bang for your buck: espresso machines [2024]
used gaggia classic pro is prob the best bang for buck imo. built like a tank, easy to mod later if u get obsessed, and holds resale value. paired with a decent grinder it’ll easily give you real espresso without spending breville dual boiler money. for something simpler, the breville bambino or bam

Upgrading from Bambino Plus: Need a machine that won't "give up" during back-to-back milk drinks [Budget $1500]
You probably want a dual boiler and your budget is right at the starting point of those. Look at the Breville Dual Boiler and the Lelit Elizabeth.

Is the Breville dual boiler and DF54 combo good for a newbie [$1200]
The BDB is no slouch. It's way beyond entry-level espresso making. That machine regularly retails for very roughly the equivalent of $3000 AUD outside of Australia and is still considered a good deal and good buy at that price. That's more than 3x what you're paying! For what you get, if you're seri

Yeah, middle of the road Breville dual boiler units are going to pay for themselves in a few years.

Which espresso machine represents the point of diminishing return for you?
Breville Dual Boiler. 58mm. PID. Temp control. Decent Pressure gauge. If you get clever with the preinfusion settings you can have a ton of control of pressure etc. Probably not the sexiest choice but serious bang for the buck.

Which Espresso machine should I buy that actually lasts?
Stop putting them in the hydraulic press. Clean them occasionally. What the Hell are you doing to “go through” an appliance that should outlive you in a year? I’m using a Breville Dual Boiler that’s about 12-15 now; I’m not its first owner and I think not its second. I replaced the o rings last year

Any reason to pick Profitec Move over the Breville Dual Boiler? [2000€]
The end result will probably be more or less the same, drink-wise. The Breville is good value with lots of features with a great user community for mods and what not. I started looking for an upgrade about a month ago for my aging (but perfectly functioning and nearly 10-year old) Breville Duo Temp
