Thought this was worth an individual mention despite the generic code having been posted. I've just pulled the trigger on this machine after my Bambino Plus has been on the blink. Near its lowest ever price ($572.99) and usually sits around $800. Seems exceptional value based on comparable dual boiler/thermoblock machines and has solid reviews.

CAFÉ QUALITY POUR. 58mm commercial size group head delivers authentic café quality coffee

CAFÉ SPEED HEAT-UP. Dual Thermoblock heating system provides fast heat-up and allows coffee and milk to be prepared at the same time

SMOOTH CAFÉ MILK. The temperature sensing steam wand and milk temperature gauge provide feedback and guide you to the perfect velvety-smooth café milk. Suitable for all milk types

CAFÉ CONTROL. Barista levers to easily operate hot water when extracting espresso and steam pressure when preparing milk

CAFÉ CONVENIENCE WATER REFILL. The "Fill Tank" indicator lights up when water level is low. Easily refill water from the top water tank cover or by removing the water tank from the back

  • Does this make better coffee than the Barista Max which can be had for $375 on the same deal?

    • +5

      It won't make better coffee but it has a duo thermoblock which will allow you to steam and pull shots of espresso at the same time without waiting for the boiler to readjust in temp for switch between the modes. Also this doesn't have a grinder inbuilt.

  • +1

    As mentioned by doweyy Sunbeam Barista Max EM5300K is cheaper than the Prime Day Lightning Deal as it is already on sale at 20% off plus it has a 10% off checkbox coupon plus it is all stackable with this 25% off coupon code.

    • +5

      A decent entry level option if that's what you're after. However this is a very different machine. Dual thermoblock allows you to steam milk and pull a shot at the same time. This is a better quality machine providing greater control, many also don't want an inbuilt grinder as they aren't known to be the best quality.

      • Definitely different - but better quality?

        • Yes. I've played with both. Build quality is noticably better on the EMM7200BK. Also has a manual pressure gauge for better control and fine tuning.

          • @Cheepcheep88: I have too. I prefer the 7200 for the dual thermoblock and pressure gauge, but that doesn't make it better quality. IMHO.

            • @bargainshooter: grinder-less dual boiler(/thermoblock) machines like this and the BDB are geared more towards the prosumer end of the spectrum, compared to combo machines like the Barista Max/Express, which are designed to be more accessible.

      • Half the price?

        I don't do milk, just want short blacks.

    • Any suggestions on dosing funnel or dosing cup for those that own this machine? Can't find one that fits the grinder and one that is cheap…

      • +1

        You find the ones fit your porta filter sizes. The common 3 sizes are 51mm, 53m (or 54mm?) and 58mm?

        • +1

          I know. It's 58mm but there's this thing protruding on the grinder. Those who own the machine know what I'm talking about

          • @kobeduck: You can get the magnetic dosing funnel to stay reasonably firmly on the porta filter or if just a dosing cup to sit on the dripping tray?

          • +1

            @kobeduck: i have a rhino dosing cup (which is 58mm) sitting on a scale and i just push down the prong with two fingers to start use the grinder

            got it awhile back for about 12-15 bucks ~

            you cannot have it hang on the prongs like you would with the portafilter but having dosing cup on scale means i can control amount of grinds i use without having to worry about retention from the not so great grinder

      • Try something like this. Heaps easier than a funnel

    Sunbeam EMO440 grinder is approx. $65. As cheap as I've ever seen it. Not too bad for electric conical burrs.

    Feel free to post as separate deal.

    • +1

      Definitely a bargain for conical burrs electric grinder. However you would definitely want to invest in a better grinder if you're forking out for this machine.

    • Does the job for most things, just not consistent enough for espresso which needs very fine adjustments. Owner here.

      • Apparently if you contact them about this problem, they will send out some washers and instructions on how to achieve finer grind adjustments.

  • +2

    Is it possible to get a half decent practicality automatic all-in-one for under 1k? Or is it just not possible still?

    Pretty happy with just using an aeropress and pre ground aldi beans atm and only drink long black but the way some people talk about the lower end (sub 1k) machines is the coffee out of them is literally tasting of children’s tears.

    • +6

      Audiophiles imagine frequencies that the mortal human ear simply can’t register. If you have the commensurate imagination for a high-end coffee machine, you’ll never have to go back to the way the ignorant majority do it

    • +1

      I use the Sunbeam Barista Max at home ($400ish) and I am the only user of a Delonghi Primadonna at work ($2000+). Before the Primadonna we used to also have a Jura which was $2000+ as well.

      I use a separate dedicated milk frother for both because I found it takes less time overall to produce the coffee and its easier to clean and maintain.

      When using a separate frother, as long as you get your grind and tamp dialled down there really isn't much difference between using the 2 systems both with the time it takes and the final product quality because its the milk that takes the longest to prepare.

      Not going to get the highest grade cafe quality barista coffee, but when your standing in front of it at 6am in your PJ's still half asleep its not bad.

      • +2

        Delonghi Primadonna at work ($2000+)

        damn..im flat out getting authorization to buy something nicer than nescafe 43 when its on 30% off+ at coles.

    • +1

      Manual Grinder - about $100-150
      Picopresso - About $200
      good set of scales to weigh about $100

      So its possible but will need alot of manual work

  • I've just pulled the trigger on this machine

    So how long before the coffee comes out? I am kind of impatient

    • +1

      Depends on your grind and tamp ;)

      • If I can’t just pull the trigger and drink my coffee, I’m off to the local café

        • +2

          “off to the local cafe”
          That involves walking and probably driving, not to mention more $$$ in long run.

        • +4

          How long does it take to go to the local? Wait to be served, get served, place your order, wait. Wait some more. Wonder what's taking so long. Ask at the counter. Find out someone else is called Steve and they took your coffee. Wonder why it's all so hard. Wait for round 2. Finally get your coffee. They've burnt the milk… again.

          An EM7000 heats up in about 2 minutes, so I can get a cap served up in about 5 minutes.

  • This or Gaggia Classic Pro?

    • +1

      Thank heavens for Italian pronunciation!

    • +1

      From a number of reviews I've watched the Gaggia benefits from a number of mods to bring out its best. If you're into that it can probably turn out a better coffee. Personally I'm not, so happy to stick to a solid factory standard machine.

    • +4

      I looked at the Gaggia, but I bought this one because of the fast start up time. I can do milk and coffee simultaneously, plus it has a PID. I paid $572.99, which is considerably cheaper than the Gaggia. No doubt the Gaggia will last forever, but I'm very happy with the coffee I can make on the Sunbeam. Reviews tend to summarise that these last a while, compared to the Breville DB, and spare parts are easy to come by.

    • This

    • +3

      Gaggia is the way to go if you want to mod and to maintain a machine for the long term.
      Otherwise buy this
      I'd say this would probably last you 4-5 years without maintenance realistically speaking before components particularly the O-ring wear out and cause other issues (Most Coffee machines get worn down O-rings by Year 2-3 and will start leaking internally afterwards. I recommend opening your machine up to check for leakages). This is great as an introductory machine to making your own espresso since you can play around with 58mm accessories.
      Buy a good grinder like a eureka mignon specialita to pair with this, and a decent coffee scale.
      Additional accessories I recommend in order of priority are, 58mm Compatible Bottomless Portafilter (So you can see channeling issues), 20g 58mm Single Wall Precision basket (Cheap baskets lead to uneven channeling), 58mm Tamp > Puck Screens (Prevents grounds and oils from sticking to group head, also distributes water better), WDT Distribution Tools (Removes coffee clumps) > Spray

  • Had EM7000 for about 5 years and recently upgraded to Breville Dual Boiler. This looks like the same machine with some changes in styling and buttons. It's a great starter machine but doesn't allow customisation and can't find any decent accessories like bottomless portafilter.

    • +2

      Search harder

    • +1

      You can customise your pull. The settings are not intuitive but its hidden and you will need to instruction booklet. The settings will be along the lines of press for 10 seconds then double press, wait for blinking then press two buttons simultaneously etc.

    • How are you finding the change? I've got an em7000 after having the 6910 and I'm still pretty happy with it. I've got a great grinder, but not sure if I 'need' the Dual Boiler.

      • EM7000 served me well and I had no real issues with it till I started looking at coffee as a hobby which requires a level customisation with the machines.

        You can't do a slayer shot with EM7000. If the grind is too fine, the machine goes all they way up to 15bars (which makes things worse) and chokes. The frothing wand is great because it has temp sensor but after using BDB I can see the difference in quality and time it takes.

        BDB is great with consistency and pulling back to back shots too.

        If all you are looking for is 1 or 2 daily milk coffees with a fixed type of beans and don't really want to dive into the nuances of espresso, em7000 is more than enough (I happily used it for 5 years). I recently sold mine off with the grinder for $150.

  • +2

    I'm getting $611 at checkout

    • Looks like amazon base price changed overnight. I've updated the post. Still a great buy at that IMO.

      • +1

        I placed an order at 2.30am and it's $587.4. Thanks :)

  • Like an earlier comment, I had an EM7000 for 9 years and recently replaced it with a Breville dual boiler. Solid machine and not too expensive if you're not sure how serious you are about home made coffee yet. Keep on top of cleaning descaling and daily clear water backflushing, you'll see plenty of EM7000s for sale "works perfect but no steam" which would be due to poor maintenance. Many accessories that fit the EM6910 will also fit the EM7000 and EM7200

    • How are you finding the change? I've got an em7000 after having the 6910 and I'm still pretty happy with it. I've got a great grinder, but not sure if I 'need' the Dual Boiler.

      • I find it easier to pull consistent shots with the BDB, I think the way that it does pre-infusion is better at compensating for grinds that aren't perfectly distributed & tamped. I'm using the same Eureka Mignon Specialita grinder for both machines. If your EM7000 is still in good enough condition for resale and you can find a new BDB for <$900 then I would say go for it to make the change-over price less painful.

  • Bought this machine in the last sale and it is making great coffee (teamed with a Breville grinder). Very happy with it - heats up quickly, good pressure for fine grinds, nice big basket, steam while coffee is pulling, 3L water tank. Biggest critisism so far are the plastic knobs used for steam and hot water - feels cheap compared to the rest of the machine, they should have used some stainless.

    • If you don’t mind, how much did you get it for?

      • $573

  • Found myself missed out when I wake up

    • It hasnt actually expired, not sure why its been marked as such. Its now 611 with code, not as cheap as it was last night but still a great deal.

      • Haha, I wouldn’t purchase if I couldn’t get $587. You know that's about 10% less.

  • Wait for the sales, spend a bit extra and get the Impress - https://www.amazon.com.au/Breville-Barista-Express-Impress-B…

    • +2

      That model only has a single thermoblock (thermocoil), has 54mm portafilter and a low spec integrated grinder.
      This machine seems a better choice to me.

      • Oh damn I was looking at the impress!

      • Correct, this and the Breville DB are in a different class due to commercial size portafilter and dual heating systems

  • +3

    I have this machine and love it. It’s a real workhorse that just keeps on going. I do maintain it and have it professionally serviced every two years. Coffee is great with the right grinder and it saves time in the morning with its dual boiler function. I steam the milk whilst it’s making coffee. Very solid machine and a bit on the large side of you have small benchtops may be a bit intrusive, other than that it’s very reliable and makes a nice cup of coffee. For $611 it’s a bargain.

    • What grinder do you use?

    • Used to have the 6910, then moved to the 7000 like a few others on here. Are you getting yours serviced through a Sunbeam authorised repairer? Or just a generic place? What does it set you back? Thinking I should probably get ours looked over and given a little love.

      • Do you know a place that services em7000 in WA? I'm thinking some O-rings are starting to fail since my steam knob leaks by my second cup milk steaming. Thanks!

        • +1

          It's actually pretty easy to replace the O-Rings in the steam tap yourself if you are that way inclined. Gently lever off the steam knob with a screwdriver and then you can undo the tap and pull the needle valve out. Give it a clean/descale, replace the o-ring, lubricate and you're good to go. They go to it in a bit more detail here: https://coffeesnobs.com.au/forum/equipment/brewing-equipment…

          I cant remember the o-ring size but I just took the valve to a coffee machine repairer and they gave me the replacements for free.

  • +1

    I just set this up, paired with the em0700 grinder after the making the most of the deal yesterday. Wow I could say the coffee produced by this tastes better than most cafes that I go to.

    (It did take 3 goes of the wrong grind/tamp to finally get a result, grind setting 15 on a two-cup basket, with the two-cup pour. Next time it will be one-cup as it was way too strong).

    • I'll grab one next time.. intrigued.
