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

Espresso machine + grinder combo for barista skills at home?
The dual boiler is an excellent machine, great choice The breville grinder is not famed to be really, i would recommend a baratza grinder but im not an expert on them, but if you have the budget maybe go for a niche zero

What espresso machine did you start on, and would you recommend it to a beginner today?
This - paired with a good grinder. At home I went Gaggia Classic -> Breville Dual Boiler -> ECM Synchronika so I've seen a bit of the spectrum. At my holiday house I have a Bambino Plus and if it's paired with a good grinder (the most important part) you can make coffee. A friend of mine who lives a

Double boiler, manual espresso machine [$1,000-$3,000]
I opted for Breville dual boiler non lever till I get better and then later down the line I’ll get Lelit Bianca. There are so many grinders, see if you can get a variable speed grinder, try with the regular burrs that come with the unit and then if you want to change to sap bursa afterwards. Lance H

The Dual Boiler vs The Oracle Touch for the same price?
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

Switching from BBE to Bambino
Id imagine they're pretty close to the same thing, so not worth it (not sure if the Bambino has a PID like the BBE though). I had a Breville Infuser for a long time which is the same brew setup as the BBE (no grinder). Great machine but when it died the upgrade I made was to a Dual Boiler (they are

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

This or that? Comparing Breville espresso machines
We have several places with Breville coffee machines Have fully manual dual boiler, probably 12 or so years old. Shame no built in grinder, as much prefer the bench space. We had two Oracles not survive five years, so received credits back and now bought the Jet. Just got a Barista Express. Whilst i

Profitec GO or Dual Boiler [around $1000]
I think neither of them would be a good choice as a starter machine. Both machine wont fit for everyone, like the warmup time or workflow might bother someone. Machines like delonghi ecp or breville bambino would be a solid pick for learning and discovering what else features you are REALLY looking

Kucni espresso aparat sa PID regulacijom do 500-600€?
Nije li to najblize 58mm sto je valjda najzastupljeniji standard? Drugo koliko googlam Lelit Anna PL41TEM u imenu slovo T znaci temperature, pretraga kaze da ima PID regulaciju, mozes za stepen -+ da regulises.. Sad da ga jbm, nisam se udubljivao u taj konkretan model, potrazi malo dublje. Ja imam B
