Deinfluence me: Espresso Machine
Lets look at the cons based on my exp with a Breville Barista Express. ● mahal ung mga filter tablets. 1k ata per pack/ 6 pieces. ● aside sa matagal ung final product, you have to clean it every time you use it. Otherwise, may build up, may amoy, and pests can enter. ● the machine has a grinder, per

Barista Express/ Impress or La Specialista Opera? [500-620 USD]
I have no idea about wattage converting or warranty claims in south east Asia but out of these two machines the Breville is higher quality and will make better coffee. That said, as someone with a Breville Barista Express, if I were purchasing an entry level espresso machine again I would get a Brev

Another day, another shot
It has high retention and also doesn’t grind as uniformly as other standalone. When I had the breville barista express I purchased a niche grinder and it made the coffee much better.

Breville vs Ninja [Budget between $500-$700]
OP: Absolutely go the separate machine and grinder route , if you’re going for the Breville and not ninja. You’ll get a much much better grinder if you buy a bambino and let’s say a Baratza encore ESP than you would if you get the barista express. Also, all in one machines are great when all element

Need Help Choosing Coffee Machine☕️☕️
I had an older Barista express and found the grinder mediocre, inconsistent and ultimately unreliable as it eventually died and we got a Baratza Sette grinder as a replacement before then replacing the Breville. The newer ones may be better - this was over 10 years ago. I then moved to a Dual Boiler

Is it time to throw in the towel? [$1000]
Five years out of a Barista Pro is about average. The 5-second shutoff is usually a failing solenoid valve or a clogged flow meter, and Breville repair costs often hit $150-250 which is hard to justify on a machine that may have other components aging out. At $1000, you're in a really good spot for

Ajuda a escolher máquina de café (~700€)
Se não eles não precisam de um hobby novo, ou não estão para merdas e só querem um café, alguma bean to cup delonghi por 300 euros. Caso contrário, breville bambino plus e um DF54. Vai dar trabalho e vão ter que querer aprender mas podem fazer café de outro mundo. E também vão acabar por gastar mais

Breville vs Ninja [Budget between $500-$700]
The Ninja has much more automation, which is both good and bad. The good news is that the automation will allow you to get a fair to middlin shot with minimal learning curve. The bad news is you have only very limited ability to override the automation if you are interested in getting the best tasti

Fellow series 1 vs meraki gen 2 [$3000]
I get what you mean. I had a barista express with the built in grinder, similar to your delonghi and swore to myself that I would never get a built in grinder again. Ended up going down the path of a Breville Dual boiler and then being able to chose my own grinder as I wanted to go for something wit

The answer is simple, while it is still in warranty take three base replacement, because yes, it will happen again, but you'll have another year before you need to. This is not an issue with Ninja per se, it's a problem with Conical burr grinders, all burr grinders. The shims wear out and need to be
