Crumbling shower head [Sage Barista Express]

I've seen many cases like this on brevilles, the black coating is some kind of non stick layer that ends up like this eventually, breville stated that it's still safe to use at this state. As a bambino plus user I will never consider a breville machine after seeing this, even on their best machines

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

Do Breville Barista models go up in quality with an increase in price? [$1000]

"Do models go up in quality with an increase in price?" No. They don't go up in quality with price. ""Is the Express internals quality the same as the pro or touch?" I'd say the Express Internals are better than the Pro or Touch as far as pulling shots. The Express uses a thermocoil system which is

Breville vs Ninja [Budget between $500-$700]

The express is a semi auto which means diving into making espresso and learning to pull shots. The luxe is closer to automatic. With your budget and just starting out, you sort of have to figure out your end goal. The Ninja can be more hands off and create a greater range of drinks with less experim

Sage Barista Pro (built-in Baratza grinder) – worth upgrading to a separate grinder?

I did almost like you did for my first setup I got a Breville Infuser and Baratza Encore ESP pro. Reason why I got the Infuser over BBP (Breville Bambino Plus) is because I wanted the expresso machine with PID controller for brewing temperature control so I could dial in all kinds of roast and it’s

Seeking feedback on proposed first-time set up [$1200]

Breville Bambino Plus (if pricing is the same, is there any meaningful benefit to ordering direct from Breville vs. Williams Sonoma or another online retailer?) Don't buy direct from Breville. If you machine is DOA or breaks shortly after purchase, Amazon, Williams-Sonoma, or other retailers will be

Yet Another What Espresso Machine Post: [$2000]

This is the issue I had. https://www.reddit.com/r/espresso/comments/yja12h/found_a_metal_part_inside_the_foam_nozzle_of_my/ I fixed it exactly as it was put together (I even temporarily borrowed another Bambino Plus to ensure each washer/fitting was put back in the same place). Granted, it lasted me 3 years

When someone says they have a breville bambino , usually the comments are , it’s a good beginner setup.

Its a really good question and im leaning towards no. My brother has a breville bambino + baratza encore esp and i have a rocket mozzafiato R + df64. I think the coffe tastes better on my own machine but wheter thats placebo or not i cant know. What i will say, however, is that if this hobby is a li

Obligatory 'my new, beginner setup' post

Great setup. I've got the Bambino plus and without the Breville dose attachment, was making a mess everywhere. Bought the thing straight away. I have a WPM ZD10T grinder and yet to make a brew that I am happy with. I removed the plastic bit that's stuck on the bottom of the Breville portafilter, but

Does this sound right?

My Breville bambino plus cleaning disk doesn’t have a hole.
