Please give me a reason NOT to buy a Breville Barista Pro

Worked in the kitchen retail store before and a few months ago the barista pro along with the regular older Oracle touch and precision Brewer showed up on the list for items eventually going out. Unless things have changed recently. Reason for? I wish I could tell you. I personally think Breville re

New Barista Pro Grinder Slipping

Welcome to the club, happens frequently to my Oracle Touch even after switching beans and thorough cleaning. Sent mine back a few times and their service is super but they just clean it and send it back, just for the same thing to occur. IMO a Breville known deficiency in the units.

What is a lower income spending habit you’ll never give up no matter how financially secure/rich you get?

It's a $3500 machine. I got it direct from the supplier when they first came out at a discount. Kind of dreading it's eventual demise. https://www.breville.com/en-au/product/bes990

Soapy water after running a cleaning tablet cycle [Breville Oracle Touch]

The Breville Oracle touch has a cleaning cycle that is pretty foolproof. You put a tablet on this silicone cap that goes on the basket and then the cycle runs automatically. You can repeat the cycle without a tablet. In either case, it backflushes the system. Descaling is a whole separate process. T

Dual Boiler - Not a Buy For Life Machine

Wow what? I’ve been considering getting the oracle touch, jet or dual boiler, for a while but this thread literally just ended any desire to get a Breville/Sage machine. Not servicing more than twice is insane.

Breville/Sage Oracle Jet big disappointment

That's not a high bar that you are shooting for. If it were me, I would: Check the brew water temperature to ensure it's within a couple of degrees of whatever it's set at. Put the backflush disc in, run a shot, and see if it sounds like the pump is producing high pressure throughout the cycle - it'

What are your experiences with longevity with higher end Oracle machines?

Have a 6 year old Oracle Touch that started to pop our GFCI outlet, likely due to leak. Replaced the orings and steam probes, which did not fix the issue. Seems to be a problem with the steam broiler. Loved the machine so much we replaced it with an Oracle Jet....little bit of a side grade IMO, but

Am I wrong when I say a lot of new technology isn't useful at all? If I'm not wrong then why is it being created then?

They work amazingly well actually. You probably just bought a crap machine. Pressure and flow of your home water system aren't relevant for an espresso machine. The interior boiler fills up with water while its on to some degree, or you can fill it manually. Espresso machines have their own boilers

Breville Oracle Jet

My Oracle Touch just finally encountered a problem I can't fix...(or more accurately, don't want to attempt)... So I'm back in the market. Part of me wants to avoid Breville. Was this thing everything I expected for a $3,000 machine? I was able to increase it's life by probably 2 years. Just not sur

Breville Oracle Jet

Sorry to hear about your Oracle Touch. I’m hoping I don’t have issues with my new machine. My old analog Breville has worked without issues since I bought it 15 plus years ago!
