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

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

Convince me not to get the Cafelat Robot! [$500]
I have a breville dual boiler, however I haven't used it since I got the Robot... I initially got it as a fun toy, but since it's easier to use + tastes better, I stopped using my actually expensive machine for espresso. I still use it for steaming milk occasionally, but the Robot is just that good.

[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.

Convince me not to go to Costco and buy the ninja machine. [$500]
This sort of question compares "convenience" of making your drink to the "quality" of drink you get. Both are important. Before my current prosumer setup, we bought the (expensive!) Breville Oracle (back then it was $3000 CAD, now it's closer to $4000). Like the Ninja, its design was a clever arrang

Breville Bambino mods
Save up more for a Breville Dual Boiler, Lelit Elizabeth, Silvia Pro X, or Profitec Move. This is what it is going to take to solve your problems.

[BDB] Is this Scale?
From a Facebook BDB group that gets these photos often, many people have said Breville calls it "normal" and won't fix them. Mine is starting to bubble so I'm saving up for a new machine that isn't Breville. The BDB is so good, but things like this make me have a tinge of regret buying it. The next

Would this BDB be a good first machine/good deal assuming in fairly handy?
The thing is, you’re out of warranty. And you don’t know how much is wrong with the machine. Given that it was used in a coffee shop for several years (not advisable), you’ve gotta assume that it’s overdue for a proper service and probably some major parts replacement. If you’re more ’handy’ than th
