This espresso machine from Sunbeam serves 13 cups of rich, silky espresso. Baristas will appreciate that the Sunbeam Cafe Series has a unique milk gauge that makes it easy to tell when textured milk for cappuccinos and other drinks is ready. The twin Thermoblock technology ensures an even distribution of heat, and dual Italian style pumps allow for simultaneous texturing and extraction for a properly balanced, finished product.

Decent deal at this price…especially for those who maybe already have an existing separate grinder?

  I remember HN doing these for $399 a couple of years ago, they were the days!

    I got one from that deal! Still going strong 6 years later. Making two coffees at a day with this and hasn't skipped a beat

      Me too! In the same boat. The hot water dispenser died suddenly about 6 months ago, and would randomly switch on whilst trying to pull a shot, so I just opened it up and disconnected the power supply to the hot water pump. Was able to pull shots as usual after that. Such a solid machine. Would buy again.

        My EM6910 had the same issue when I got it second hand. Scale build up in the solenoids can stop them from closing properly, and since there's a lot less resistance through the hot water path than the group it'll 'choose' the hot water path. I ran some reasonably strong descaler through it and it stopped randomly squirting out hot water while pulling shots.

        That said I never use the hot water side so your solution seems a lot easier

          @Carnal: Thanks so much for the info! Yeah we never use the hot water thingy either, it was never really hot enough to make a cup of tea, and to warm an espresso cup for a tasty espresso we just run a shot of hot water thru into the cup. I think the water temp was hotter from the group head, or whatever its called :)

            @PotPlant: Same thing happened to mine - Sunbeam support weren't much help.

            Gave it a good descale and it has been fighting fit since (assume the 3-way valve had schmutz in it). Mine's about 2.5 years old, averages about 5 cups / day.

            Pretty happy with it - doesn't have the cred of an Italian machine, but it does a good / consistent job.

      Same here. Can't believe all these years later and the price hasn't fallen

    I bought one for $399 over 6 years ago too! One of my favourite OzB's, especially considering I'm still using it twice daily. It's a brilliant machine.

    Oh the walk down memory lane. Still remember when I got it from this deal. The machine is as good as it was back then. Descaling and change of filter are the only things I have done. Would buy this again if mine ever breaks no doubt.

    Yeah then you throw it out and get a new one. Crazy expensive way to make coffee.

  I have one, and have had it for six or seven years now. Makes a decent coffee. And has definitely produced more than 13 coffees ;)

  How does this compare to the Breville dual boiler (BES920)?

    heats up quicker, same quality coffee, i own both, bought the breville thinking it would make better coffee, not the case, same quality milk texturing, same quality espresso.

      Fancydancer on 07/10/2020 - 21:05

      Agree, bought this for a mate at $399. I bought BES920 but really think this is a better machine. Considering COVID pricing this is definitely the better buy.

    schwinn on 08/10/2020 - 01:11

    Difference would be the noise though. Thermoblocks are crazy noisy compared to boilers. I suspect thermoblocks also are quicker to heat up, compared to boilers, someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

  • 

    [Deactivated] on 08/10/2020 - 12:10

    The BES920 is a dual boiler, and the EM7000 is a dual thermoblock machine so they can both brew and steam simultaneously, however how they do it is quite different.
    I have not used this one so cannot really comment other than others reports on productreview etc.
    From what I could gather the EM7000 has been out since 2012 so manufacturing issues should be well sorted by now (you would hope).

  At these price levels you're better off with a Gaggia Classic or Pro ?

    the gaggia doesn’t froth milk and do espresso at the same time , sunbeam does.

  crazyzhangjun on 08/10/2020 - 11:52

  compare with Sunbeam PU8000 ？？？torino ？
  which one should i pick？ does Torino have better milk texturing？

• 

  ilikeit on 08/10/2020 - 12:14

  The em7000 or BES840 (barista express minus the grinder)? I might just save up for a Silvia with PID installed for the quality and durability.
