        • kulprit on 05/05/2022 - 07:09

          Wonder if the shot counter goes up by 2 when you do a double shot? Otherwise my count seems low.

            +1

            @kulprit: I think I remember seeing somewhere that it registers a shot whenever it’s pulling water for more than 15s, so a double would still be 1 shot

            • bleeder on 05/05/2022 - 12:05

              @Ayanami: Half the time when I rinse my portafilter it's probably going over 15s, so mine is definitely going to overestimate.

                @bleeder: Any shot over 7 seconds is counted. If you manually back flush abs stop before 7s it won’t contribute to total shot count

                • bleeder on 05/05/2022 - 17:31

                  @OBarty: OK, I probably never stop before 7 seconds haha

                  • Ayanami on 05/05/2022 - 17:50

                    @bleeder: Yeah I don’t either, I let it run for a single shot button press, however long that is by default as I don’t use it for anything else.

                    • OBarty on 05/05/2022 - 22:17

                      @Ayanami: You only need to run the shot for as long as it takes for pressure to ramp up. If you press and hold the manual button (pre infusion) for half a second, then release (ramps up to full pressure) then it will get to full pressure quickly , should be within 7 seconds (marginal on first back flush as Pf basket filling with water before pressure rises) then when you stop the pressure abs water purge into drip tray. Do this three or four times after each brew session to keep things clean. Abs the same with cleaning powder every 2-4 weeks depending on use (then rinse / back flush with just water after powder).

                • Ayanami on 05/05/2022 - 17:49

                  @OBarty: Ah thanks OBarty, wasn’t sure I’d remembered the time right.

          The counter there to estimate pump life (not your caffeine intake) :)))

        When the machine is off, press and hold the one and two shot buttons for 5 seconds.While still holding, press the power button. Release all buttons.You'll see 00:00.
        Press the menu button.
        The shot count then displays at x10 less than actual count e.g. 150 displayed = 1500.

    • repeat on 05/05/2022 - 11:36

      I replaced my 2015 BDB with a new one in December, new machine just clocked over 680.

      Owning the 2015 machine for a while taught me how to operate it, perform routine maintenance and understand when to take it in for routine servicing or repairs.

      Lesson learned: If you hear any steam escaping inside the BDB, unplug it, act immediately to repair and avoid further problems.

      This machine is perfect for my needs, am familiar with how it works, and hopefully will serve me for 10+ years.

      • bleeder on 05/05/2022 - 12:13

        So you replaced it with the same machine? I currently have an Oracle and love it, I do wonder if I would 'upgrade' to another machine if it broke. I don't use the built-in grinder and auto-tamping (have a separate grinder) but I love the auto frothing feature, not sure I would ever give that up.

        • Anthropomorphised on 05/05/2022 - 17:55

          If it's from 2015 it was most likely the discontinued BES900.
          The newer BES920XL has a few differences
          -Old model couldn't be descaled as the boilers wouldn't fully drain, new one can
          -Old one you couldn't adjust steam temp, new one you can
          -Old model had volumetric shot control, new model can do volumetric or duration controlled.
          May be some other differences with the new one that I've missed too.

          Having the ability to descale should definitely help reduce stress on the system and make the newer 920XL model longer-lasting than the old one. Even getting the "same" model the changes are definitely decent.

        • repeat on 05/05/2022 - 19:30

          Yes it was the same one (minor differences) - it was a BES920 purchased from the Good Guys.
          There are some minor changes in the newer model with a different water filter, and inside they changed some of the connections into the top of the boilers.
          Externally, the light has a bluer hue, the lights on the original one looked more warm.
          The new machine has more aggressive power saving turning off after around 10 minutes but I think there is a setting to adjust this.

      • bleeder on 05/05/2022 - 19:29

        Can you give a bit more detail on what you do in terms of maintenance and how frequently? How often would you get it serviced, what does it cost?

        • repeat on 05/05/2022 - 19:39
          +1

          Sure,

          Regular stuff
          1. Run the clean cycle when prompted (it is a tablet of detergent that sits on a rubber block). I usually flush the group and wash the water tank afterwards.
          2. Change filter every 3 months and wash the water tank thoroughly
          3. Flush the group after each extraction
          4. (Possibly controversial) Descale when it tells you to. (This has been a problem for some owners of the older machines, but I have not encountered a problem with it)

          Periodic stuff
          I take it in for a service every 18-24 months: descale and new o-rings. Cant remember the exact cost but think this normally costs around $120

          Stuff that broke in the past
          1. Around 3 1/2 years - steam wand was dripping water - needed a new steam valve
          2. Around 4 years pump stopped doing the low pressure preinfusion, max pressure reduced to 6-7 bar. (Replaced the pump with one from eBay for $35 with plenty of Youtube research, as we were in the first covid lockdown)
          3. Ignored steam escaping and needed service: descale, changed o-rings, triac board needed replacing, safety valve on the steam boiler needed replacing.

    • goingDHfast on 05/05/2022 - 16:12
      +1

      And how many times have you run a full descale? Most people buy these things and forget to service then complain when it breaks after 18 months.

      • Ayanami on 05/05/2022 - 17:47
        +1

        Whenever the descale alert comes up on screen. Maybe once a year?

        • Anthropomorphised on 05/05/2022 - 17:58
          +1

          Worth doing more often than that unless you are using very soft filtered water.
          Recommended duration is 60 days for areas with very hard water - high mineral content, and 90 for normal.
          This matches up pretty much exactly with the recommended lifespan of the claro-swiss filter, so I just do it when it's time to pop a new one in.

          Definitely do not leave it a full year.

        The current model has a bleed screw behind a rubber plug on the front panel. Older models you have to open it and disconnect a hose.

          • Anthropomorphised on 05/05/2022 - 17:59

            @bleeder: you definitely don't need to do that, plus you'd probably also be wearing out the bleed screw gaskets since they wouldn't be designed for you to open them daily.

      I wouldn't call it overkill if you are interested in spending the time to learn how to make (near) perfect espresso. The lesser machines can only get you so far and before you know it you'll be buying a BDB anyway. Also if you don't care about perfection, BDB will still produce better coffee than a lesser machine if all other variables are kept the same.

      Only thing to note is the BDB takes 10-15 mins to properly warm up

      Get a 0.1g scale.

      Get 1/2kg tub of Cafetto.

      Get a decent grinder and buy fresh beans.

      Watch loads of YouTube videos.

      Be prepared to spend some time practicing before you're making consistent coffees.

    • bleeder on 05/05/2022 - 12:25
      +1

      Yeah I'd recommend getting a 0.1g scale also (can get cheap off amazon) and weighing the ground beans and then your shot as it comes out, I think the standard is 1:2 which would be something like 18g coffee and a 36g shot . I've set my 2 cup button to 35 seconds and I manually cut it off when it gets to the shot weight I am looking for (ideally between 25 and 35 seconds).

      • OpulentLace on 05/05/2022 - 16:25

      I found this cheap scale
      I dont like the look and there is a little lag in the display but is only 25mm high still allows the bodum dual wall glasses to fit under the portafilter during extraction.
      https://www.amazon.com.au/gp/product/B08H577V4T/

      It was on special for $20.99 in 2021

      I use this scale for beans (it is 30mm high so can only use it for extraction with an espresso cup/shot glass)
      https://www.amazon.com.au/Multi-Functional-Stainless-Chronog…

      but it should be much cheaper than that

      But my long term goal is to get a nicer scale like the acaia luna or a timemore nano that can do both.

      • legs on 05/05/2022 - 07:35

        Oracle is a good machine too for a specific type of user. It's basically the dual boiler machine plus inbuilt grinder, auto tamp function and has auto milk steaming function. Obviously carries a higher cost as a result.
        Good for those that want a great coffee without taking up a new hobby.

        Its been cheaper in the past but the most recent best deal on the Oracle was $2,201 plus mothers day promo i.e. including

        2 Months of Veneziano Crave Blend Coffee Beans• Exclusive Live Roaster Online Masterclass• 2x Breville Dual Wall Latte Glasses (200ml)• 2x Breville Dual Wall Espresso Glasses (100ml)• 1x Breville Bean Keeper Coffee Cannister

          Oracle is good for people who wants to press a button and get cup of coffee and don't bother to learn about making coffee. On the flip side, if you pay $2400, you get ordinary / basic grinder, no pressure gauge, no control of the amount of coffee grind, no control of tamp (could lead to channelling), more things that could go wrong with the mechanical operation of the auto tamp. If grinder or machine breaks down then you have to replace both. It would be much better option to buy separate machine and quality grinder at overall cheaper price. If you have enough bench space it is a no brainer.

      • bleeder on 05/05/2022 - 12:39

        I found the in built grinder and tamping to be no good, extremely inconsistent shots, which was rectified when I got a separate grinder. For me I love the auto-frothing though, it does a decent job and makes the workflow a lot easier, would buy this machine again if anything happened and just not use the grinder. Shame you can't get one with auto frothing but no build in grinder.

        Oh yeah, I got mine for about $700-$800 in a previous deal that involved JB HiFi vouchers, so ended up cheaper than the Dual Boiler!

          The question would be, if you wanted a new upgrade later on, would you pay the $2400 for it? (not the $700-$800 you paid).

            @huntabargain: Nah I wouldn't pay that much just to have the auto-frothing, I'd just deal with having to manually froth.

      I have both
      BES920 with the smart grinder and the Oracle touch.
      If you simply want a good coffee without playing too much with the machine, then go with Oracle (pretty much full auto but with excellent frothing result)
      If you would like to do your own tamping, froth milk the way you prefer, then you may want the BES920+smart grinder (costs is lower as this deal $900+ you got $100 credit, you can use it to buy the smart grinder, when it is on sale is approx $250) Total is under $1200. Compare to Oracle, even when a time they have a big sale on the discounted colour at one point of time, it was approx $1500+ but hard to come across.

        A few months ago I got my Oracle for $700-$800 with a deal I got on OzBargain involving JB HiFi vouchers. This is the non-Touch version, but I prefer that anyway.

        • JCRALLYART on 05/05/2022 - 14:13

          That's a bargain!

          • bleeder on 05/05/2022 - 14:36

            @JCRALLYART: I think I might be wrong actually, must have deducted the $300 I got from selling my old machine, I can't have been that cheap! lol

    An excuse to upgrade. Thanks!

    How much better would this with a decent dedicated grinder be over the barista express?

      A grinder with this machine will take up more bench space, and require two power sockets so you need to see if that works for your space you have.

      The grinder in the barista express has the same burr set as in the smart grinder pro, so even going with one of those puts the grind on par.

      The BDB can extract coffee and texture milk more consistently than the barista express, with a heater on the group, together with inherent thermal stability with its cascaded dual boilers. Both have PID thermal control, but the barista express using a less thermally stable thermocoil system relies on this far more.

      Compared to a barista express, the BDB coupled with a smart grinder pro (or better grinder e.g. DF64, Specialita, Niche Zero etc) you would be able to make more coffees in less time, with more consistent output.
      Additionally, it has an easier workflow, without the cramped function of having anything packed into one machine, water level is clearly visible and can be filled from the front, as well as using the industry standard 58mm portafiler allowing for more options in baskets, distributors, tampers and so on.

      TL;DR - BDB with the same or better grinder better workflow, more options, more consistent and faster coffee.

    C'mon Good Guys - bring back a deal for the Barista Express!

    • CI on 05/05/2022 - 12:39

      Question - is the Barista express dual boiler ?

      • bleeder on 05/05/2022 - 12:44

        No it's not.

      • skinny on 05/05/2022 - 14:30
