Breville dose control pro 🤣🤣 Pairing that with a BDB has got to be like having a Ferrari and putting 87 octane in it

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

It’s not sexy, but I love my Breville Dual Boiler.

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

That's more than 3x what you're paying! For what you get, if you're seri

Hmm, going to wait on the full press release, but I think the boiler -> thermal block design is genius, and is something that more manufacturers should copy. My first reaction is that this could end up replacing the Breville Dual Boiler in the niche of "more features but sacrifice repairability" seg

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
