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

I think the people commenting on the plastic are forgetting that this machine's only real competitor from a price and features standpoint is the Breville Dual Boiler, which is also all plastic. Even something like the Rancilio Silvia Pro X is $500 more than this machine. We'll see how this thing hol

You know it's funny we must think alike, because I was going to go with almost this exact set up after researching haha. I think the Breville Dual Boiler is the best Breville to go for as far as Breville's go. It allows you to temperature control the water, nice dual boiler for milk and it has push

The BDB is no slouch. It's way beyond entry-level espresso making. That machine regularly retails for very roughly the equivalent of $3000 AUD outside of Australia and is still considered a good deal and good buy at that price.

I started looking for an upgrade about a month ago for my aging (but perfectly functioning and nearly 10-year old) Breville Duo Temp

I have to concur that the feature set for price point is unmatched. Further, I think Breville deserves a slow-clap for their UX and ergonomic designs. Breville's pricing does make me scratch my head though. The BDB is almost half the price in Australia compared to Canada (although with the wild disc

Oracle touch is a bit more complicated - ie more parts that is more likely to fail. Saying so, it is a fantastic machine if you like something semi-automatic. I have the Oracle. So much easier as I have young kids. The upper end coffee machines Breville uses baratza grinder, ie it is better than you

Certainly many of them do last! Especially when they’re well looked after. I used to service Brevilles, and it was just uncanny how often the story was “it’s only 2 years old and just started playing up”. Often the service itself wasn’t especially complicated, but if you go to Breville for a quote o
