My Dual Boiler just died, and was looking at an alternative. Had a grinder already and just needed something to pull shots and froth milk.
Comes with the same frother as the Oracle but doesn't come with a hot water spout.

Cheapest according to CamelX3.
Cheaper than recent cash back price as posted on OzBargain: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/459340
Sells for $489-$500 at the normal places.
Figured worth a gamble and if I didn't like it, I'll get a dual boiler again and bring this to work to use!

Cons coming from Oracle/Dual Boiler, would be not being able to use the frother and pull a shot at the same time. I hardly entertain so shouldn't be an issue. Heats up in 3 sec which is faster than my dual boiler!

Cashback at cashrewards too!

    This isn't badly priced, normally around $730.

    But you can get a grinder for $50 and use the machine in the OP.

    Edit - it's saying $679 on the link but says $627 when you search for coffee machines and is also $627 on Amazon atm.

        Grab this if needed and a conical burr grinder. HIGHLY RECOMMEND the Breville BCG820. Plus you can keep it for when you bin the Bambino. I like the concept but the portafilter turns me off. You could find a BES870 kicking in the same price bracket as that but the frothing wand on the Bambino is what will get it across the line for most. It's essentially a Nespresso Creatista machine but for people who want to use ground coffee instead of pods.

          @kronicmacstigator: Not sure where you're finding an 870 for below $400. It recently went under $500 as part of eBay's Plus sale - that's the first time I've seen it anywhere near mid-$400. The Bambino and the 870 are different beasts for different people. The Bambino is heavily automated and has a tiny footprint. The 870 has a larger footprint and more manual control

            @enzso: Where did I say a BES870 for below $400? Stop trying to put words in my mouth… Bambino+grinder=$520.

            Was only recently the BES870 was $462 on Amazon… Guess what is cheaper as a package? Shock horror… The Barista Express!

              @kronicmacstigator: Already had a grinder with from my bes920. Wasn't keen in forking out another for another machine so this will do for now

              @kronicmacstigator: No need to be a smart-arse, I didn't realise you were comparing the Bambino and grinder as a package alongside the 870. Your post could easily read that you can find an 870 for a similar price to the Bambino - which is how I took it. Have a nice day and all the best.

  Great price for a very nifty machine. Here's a decent review of it explaining what it does and what you get with it (from Seattle Coffee Gear).

  OP - thinking about this one, then read up about pressurised and non/pressurised baskets, dialing in shots to suit beans etc etc….. let me know how this goes for you as I’m thinking this or the Barista Pro.

  • 

    SickDmith on 01/07/2019 - 08:30

    By the way… All these things (pressurised and non/pressurised baskets, dialing in shots to suit beans etc etc) are said for Barista Pro too. :)

    People make it sound more complicated than it is, guess it helps to try and justify what a cafe charges for a coffee…. Don't need VCE 60+ to do it….the skill set is reflected in pay scale and don't know anybody pulling coffees on $100k per year as an employee.

    It's a bit like reidel glass for every wine type so they can sell more glasses but does a restaurant keep 10 different glass types for their wines.

    Get a grinder, get a machine, and enjoy no hype coffee and saving money …..

  Anything you could recommend without the milk wand?

  • 

    kronicmacstigator on 01/07/2019 - 08:51

    Eh?

    Almost every single machine on the market, including those that shouldn't have a milk wand. The only ones that tend to miss a wand are $40-50 pod machines

  Awesome machine for those short on bench space, auto froth feature is neat too if you're feeling lazy but it's not the same as doing it yourself.

  Not bad, there are some on eBay for $369, same seller maybe?

    No there's one on ebay for $369 by a private seller who is selling an unwanted gift.

  roseXivy on 01/07/2019 - 15:33

  Does this or the barista express make a better cup of coffee ?

  My understanding is :

  The barista express seems to be more automatic

  This machine seems to need ground coffee to be placed in the silver thing that they use in cafes and a bit of manual work to make the coffee so either buy ground beans from coffee shop or buy a grounder

  • 

    SickDmith on 01/07/2019 - 21:55

    No and No.

    There is no much automatic in either of these machines.
    Also… If you want to buy ground coffee… Maybe you should consider instant coffee too… ;)

    If you are buying one of these machines please do yourself a favour and try fresh beans with a grinder. And you will never look back. :)
