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

I would steer clear of the Brevilles if you want something to last. Get a decent e61 head machine with heat exchanger or dual boiler.Definitely invest in a decent grinder. You got a budget ?

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

Can confirm. My breville dual boiler has the plastic there and mine started bubbling after only about one year. Was really disappointed I found out about this after I purchased.

This sort of question compares "convenience" of making your drink to the "quality" of drink you get. Both are important. Before my current prosumer setup, we bought the (expensive!) Breville Oracle (back then it was $3000 CAD, now it's closer to $4000). Like the Ninja, its design was a clever arrang

A repair sent to Breville has happened twice with mine and cost me close to $500 each time. I've chosen to fix it because it's a third the price of a new one but who knows what small part will fail next. The Dual boiler is somewhat serviceable but is a mess inside and not easy for an amateur to navi

I went from a BDB to a Lelit Mara X v2 when my Breville shorted out due to boiler leaks (after a pretty good run, it was the first generation). The Mara X has less features. No auto-wake (the Mara X is now on a smart plug that wakes it up). No shot timer. It takes about 15 minutes to warm up, rather

This actually is an issue on the BDB. If it hasn't happened to you then keep that machine, it's a unicorn! It's literally the only thing that makes me want to change. That shit bubbles and boils on all machines it seems, and Breville call it normal wear and tear and food safe. It's such a shame beca

From a Facebook BDB group that gets these photos often, many people have said Breville calls it "normal" and won't fix them. Mine is starting to bubble so I'm saving up for a new machine that isn't Breville. The BDB is so good, but things like this make me have a tinge of regret buying it. The next
