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

Dual Boiler Recommendations? [$1500-$2000]

It’s not sexy, but I love my Breville Dual Boiler.

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

I think the people commenting on the plastic are forgetting that this machine's only real competitor from a price and features standpoint is the Breville Dual Boiler, which is also all plastic. Even something like the Rancilio Silvia Pro X is $500 more than this machine. We'll see how this thing hol

This or that? Comparing Breville espresso machines

The letdown here is that Breville doesn't offer an otherwise advanced unit w/o a built in grinder. I find Breville grinders to be where costs are cut the most. They feel and sound cheap, and in my experience grind inconsistently. Now I have a DF54 and it's been a rock solid performer with my Bambino

Rate my set up?

You know it's funny we must think alike, because I was going to go with almost this exact set up after researching haha. I think the Breville Dual Boiler is the best Breville to go for as far as Breville's go. It allows you to temperature control the water, nice dual boiler for milk and it has push

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

Fellow’s First Espresso Machine Will Look Great on Your Counter—And Its Coffee Is Even Better

Hmm, going to wait on the full press release, but I think the boiler -> thermal block design is genius, and is something that more manufacturers should copy. My first reaction is that this could end up replacing the Breville Dual Boiler in the niche of "more features but sacrifice repairability" seg

[BDB] Is this Scale?

Can confirm. My breville dual boiler has the plastic there and mine started bubbling after only about one year. Was really disappointed I found out about this after I purchased.
