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

What is the Best Espresso Machine for daily use as of today 2026?
First of all you need a grinder. I recommend the eureka mignon line of grinders because there is one at every price point, albeit those price points start at about $350 and go to $1k-ish. But truly this is your must have purchase. The Specialita is what started their popularity because they are so q

What’s the best bang for your buck: espresso machines [2024]
used gaggia classic pro is prob the best bang for buck imo. built like a tank, easy to mod later if u get obsessed, and holds resale value. paired with a decent grinder it’ll easily give you real espresso without spending breville dual boiler money. for something simpler, the breville bambino or bam

Upgrading from Bambino Plus: Need a machine that won't "give up" during back-to-back milk drinks [Budget $1500]
You probably want a dual boiler and your budget is right at the starting point of those. Look at the Breville Dual Boiler and the Lelit Elizabeth.

Yeah, middle of the road Breville dual boiler units are going to pay for themselves in a few years.

Which espresso machine represents the point of diminishing return for you?
Breville Dual Boiler. 58mm. PID. Temp control. Decent Pressure gauge. If you get clever with the preinfusion settings you can have a ton of control of pressure etc. Probably not the sexiest choice but serious bang for the buck.

Which Espresso machine should I buy that actually lasts?
Stop putting them in the hydraulic press. Clean them occasionally. What the Hell are you doing to “go through” an appliance that should outlive you in a year? I’m using a Breville Dual Boiler that’s about 12-15 now; I’m not its first owner and I think not its second. I replaced the o rings last year

Need Help Choosing Coffee Machine☕️☕️
Love the different views this topic will generate :) Barista Express (and most of the all-in-one Breville's) are good in the longish term. Parts fail and these machines have limited repairability. I have a refurb, and this is my second personal Breville machine, and 4th of their's I've bought/used o
