    Haven't seen any Barista Pro deals in ages.

    Does anyone know what's going on with the Dual Boiler Pro? I'm keen on one when they go on sale - but can't find it in stock aside from Myer / DJ's (where it's sitting at ~$2k…).

    Just stock shortages or something more permanent?

    • Olli on 08/03/2022 - 09:11

      when mine "broke" a couple of month ago, I was under the impression that it has been discontinued? As as you said I could hardly find any stock at all across a couple of shops

    How does this compare with the Lelit Kate, asides from being a lot cheaper?

    • U4333439 on 07/03/2022 - 22:25

      Why the negs?

      • irrits on 07/03/2022 - 22:45

        I think because the Lelit Kate is over $2k so it’s a weird comparison

    • U4333439 on 08/03/2022 - 07:16

      Ok, my thoughts on a parallel question.

      My old sunbeam just died and scoping out the next machine. If I could get the bes920 for $1k I would take that, but looks like that will be a waiting game. My next choice is the lelit Victoria. This is an odd switch from single to dual boiler, but I'm looking for value and could not [come close to] justify a $3k machine. The Victoria comes in at $1700.

      The lelit seems to be at the value end of the prosumer machines and seem well reviewed. Good price and better than usual features for a lower end prosumer machine. Everything is subjective and personal reviews vary wildly, but… My thoughts are they are a significantly better build quality, though with fewer fancy bits, and will likely last a lot longer. Lelit are [from my reading] easier to service. Breville is a more available brand though, and this likely leads to availability of greater discounts.

      Due to market saturation of nothing else, Breville would likely have a larger community to assist with any issues encountered though.

      Verdict is for over $1k I would rather the value proposition of an Italian single boiler over the bes920.

      • tileys on 08/03/2022 - 08:26

        I went from a Sunbean EM6910 to one of these. Was going to upgrade to the bes920 but in the end more or less went with like for like with this machine instead. It's a great little machine. My old Sunbeam grinder had started to fall apart (the plastic petals at the bottom that enable you to remove the hopper without spilling anything had long since given up the ghost). This has a very similar feel and a similar extraction. tbh I do not use the stream wand that much but seems a little better than the old Sunbeam (a little quicker to get up to speed)

      • UNO on 08/03/2022 - 08:36

        Thanks for your reply! It sounds as though we are in a similar situation- I am also looking for a value coffee machine and grinder that will last. Maybe a Lelit Anita would have been a closer comparison bit still ~$1400.

        I also like the Victoria, but I need a new grinder too. Obviously there are pros and cons of having built in grinders and it CES down to what suits your needs best.

        • U4333439 on 08/03/2022 - 10:49

          I got the imported specialita from a prev post. Just arrived yesterday, but since my machine died I haven't tried it yet. I opened the box though and it looks pretty! Very heavy also which must be a good sign.
          I obviously decided against the built-in grinder and happy with that call thus far.

      Same. Dual boiler doesn’t just make great coffee but it’s a much better machine. For starters, you can fill the water from the top lid. Then the steamer lever is super easy.

      Then again you’ll need to get a separate grinder which you can make better choices rather than the built in one.

      • JoBevo on 07/03/2022 - 23:44

        Are you replying to the right comment. Isn't the duel boiler machine one of the better machines in it's class. Next machine up we are talking about 2k+ bracket.

        • xenoic on 08/03/2022 - 01:10

          I think you interpret my comment wrongly. I simply said Dual Boiler is a better machine than the express. I had both of them so I can provide real life comparisons.

          • j1nx on 08/03/2022 - 07:53

            @xenoic: Does it make better coffee even for those of us who don’t have milk with their coffee? I’ve had my Express for around 5 years now and while it does make good coffee still, I’ve been considering swapping it out before it eventually fails on me.

            • xenoic on 08/03/2022 - 08:35
              +6

              @j1nx: There are factors why the dual boiler can make a better coffee and I’ve personally find it so.

              1. It has the 58mm portafilter rather than 54mm. Means the extraction is more even, surface ratio. Since 58 is the industry standard, this means you’re open to a lot more third party baskets like VTS.

              2. It has a pressure gauge with proper bar indicators rather than a approximate ‘range’ compared to the Express. Means you’ve much better understanding how each shots are extracted.

              3. It has a lot of detailed setting on extraction, pre infusion time length, temperature, water hardness etc.

              4. Huge following on the dual boilers and plenty of parts that can be replaced if anything fails beyond warranty period.

              All these are some of the only things that makes this machine better than express. That’s if you use them correctly. If you drink milk based, they are even more features that are better too.

              When I swapped my express to the DB, it felt like changing from an entry level Japanese car to an exclusive European car.

                @xenoic: Wonderful, thank you for your reply. I will look out for a deal on one of those and pick one up then methinks - perhaps there will be some juicy EOFY sales on. I can hold on until then.

                Any thoughts on a grinder to go with it? Nothing too expensive but not crap either. Good value wise?

                • xenoic on 08/03/2022 - 13:31
                  +2

                  @j1nx: I was going to mention about grinders as it’s probably as important as the espresso machine itself.

                  Here’s what I think could be a good list to start, from cheapest:

                  1) Breville smart grinder pro
                  2) Baratza Sette 270
                  3) Eureka Mignon Silenzio/Specialita
                  4) Niche Zero
                  5) Eureka Oro

                  What I’d to look out for in a grinder is:

                  1) Low grind retention
                  2) No clumping
                  3) Consistent grind
                  4) Ease of dialing in

                  Having straight espresso shots also mean any flaws in the extraction would be highly noticeable. I am doing single dosing as it works well for my workflow and keeps the consistency every shot.

                  You can still make excellent coffee with basic equipment. It’s just that you’ll be limited to what you are able to adjust, lack of consistency and ability to do fine adjustments.

                  Hope all these help! I’ve gone full deep into coffee making in the midst of covid WFH. Used to be a Nespresso user for many years up to last year.

                  • j1nx on 08/03/2022 - 15:46

                    @xenoic: Thank you so much for the comprehensive reply. I am also wanting to get into it a little more, so the information you've given me is extremely helpful and I appreciate it so much!!

                    That Baratza Sette 270 looks like it's around what I'd be willing to pay. I will look out for a deal on this, too, along with the Dual Boiler. Hopefully by the end of the year I'll have turbocharged my coffee making ability!

                  • kiitos on 08/03/2022 - 15:49

                    @xenoic: What grinder do you have?

                    • xenoic on 08/03/2022 - 16:18
                      +2

                      @kiitos: I've spent a lot of time researching for one, in the end settled on the Eureka Mignon Silenzio.

                      Reasons weighted the grind result:
                      1) Zero clumping
                      2) Stepless adjustment dial
                      3) Easily modified for single dosing
                      4) Large flat burr

                      Other misc factors:
                      1) Many positive reviews on durability
                      2) Quiet and compact
                      3) Snagged one on Ebay for about $540, love the Full Matte Black finish

      • jpwwong on 08/03/2022 - 11:34

        anyone know where can we find the dual boiler (just machine) in stock? all retailers seem to be stock the machine + grinder combo at the moment!

    • TEER3X on 08/03/2022 - 09:12

      Be careful with descaling dual boilers, apparently there's new instructions for it and it often destroys a fuse which is almost inaccessible

      Not sure if it applies to the current models or previous iterations

      • Manny Calavera on 08/03/2022 - 11:57

        I wish I remembered what instructions I used last time because they worked well.

    How does this compare to the BES880 Barista touch?
    I understand the BES880 has auto-milk, thermojet and a touch screen, but is it worth the extra $?

      From personal experience the touch is gimmicky I've had both. I'd get the 870 over the touch any day, and less things to go wrong. Otherwise go straight to the dual boilers.

      I'd say look/wait for a deal on a bambino plus (has auto milk texturing) and buy a really good grinder

      • leyton01 on 08/03/2022 - 10:20

        This is a popular combo - shame the bambino plus went from $360 to $500 at GGC.

        • TEER3X on 08/03/2022 - 12:14

          yep been waiting on a deal for that one, should've pulled the trigger when it was $360 but just wasn't ready to buy.

        • TEER3X on 10/03/2022 - 16:17

          Was available on eBay today for around $380, only more expensive colours left now.

          Bought a used one for $300

      • OzFrugie on 08/03/2022 - 23:08

        What grinder would u recommend?

  • bleeder on 08/03/2022 - 12:58

    What's the diff between this and Barista Pro?

    • bender on 11/03/2022 - 10:09

      @bleeder, I would never buy the Pro because it doesn't have a pressure gauge.
      With a pressure gauge you can get the grind set properly for best tasting coffee.

      • bleeder on 11/03/2022 - 12:51

        I think I watched a James Hoffman video where he said pressure doesn't matter as much as we think it does

        • bender on 12/03/2022 - 20:18

          I would disagree with him. I can taste the difference between too much pressure (bitter) and not enough pressure (sour and very little crema).
          All fixed by grind adjustment.

          • HomeAlone on 13/03/2022 - 17:46

            @bender: The gauge on your Lelit is in a completely different class given that it actually works, while on the Breville Barista Express it is wildly inaccurate to the point that it can't be relied on to get a good shot.

          • bleeder on 14/03/2022 - 12:42

            @bender: I feel like weighing the dose and timing the shot is going to be a much better way of measuring your shot than using a gauge though
