i had a bambino and love it. i use a breville dual boiler now and miss it occasionally

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

The dual boiler is an excellent machine, great choice The breville grinder is not famed to be really, i would recommend a baratza grinder but im not an expert on them, but if you have the budget maybe go for a niche zero

I have a Breville dual boiler and honestly it’s great for our use case. I make espressos maybe once a day if that. The speed of how quickly it heats up is astonishing, it feels like maybe 30 seconds or so. I also use milk/heavy cream in my drinks and I don’t think you need anything more than a Brevi
