Cheers. Good to know they are outlasting the O rings

I believe they replaced them with compression fittings. Would be interesting to see the change in failures or repairs since then

The O rings were upgraded on the new models by Breville a few years ago

The dual boilers have had a couple of minor internal upgrades a couple of years ago on O ring seal upgrades to compression fittings etc. I…

Ordered the 1kg of Moments to Memories blend. Looking forward to trying it over my usual Aldi medium beans

You can use purea but make sure you add potassium bicarbonate. I add 1gram of potassium bicarbonate to a 10 litre box of purea. Pure…

If you use the right kind of water you won't ever need to descale it and totally avoid that problem

Great machine Suggest the DF64 or DF54 to go with it. New units have upgraded O rings. Try to use Rpavlis or filtered water to extend its…

Iv been putting 1g of potassium bicarbonate into 10litres of purea water from Woolies Iv found this by far the easiest method to make…

I wouldn't use distilled water without adding anything to it. This can equally strip your machine and effect the taste of your coffee.…

Use filtered water or rpavlis and you shouldn't need to descale All machines will have these issues if not looked after properly and poor…

FYI They replaced them with compression rings a while ago. Use filtered water in this (and all machines) it should last you a good few years

The newer machines have upgraded the shower screen I think anyway Get a puck screen and you should be good I have the dual boiler and a…

They have upgraded the seals and a couple of other internals that were weak points but I get what you mean. Although in this price range…

Use water that won't bugger the machine and it will last ages. They replaced the O rings with compression fittings a few years ago so that…

Interested in others thoughts on this too. Might try something new from my usual aldi medium dark

Cheers Popped in the store and they had two out the back being transferred to another store. Wouldn't sell me them Nevermind

How did you get the extra battery for this one fella? One is showing in stock near me that Il hopefully pick up today. If it comes with…

Recommend the DF54 with the dual boiler. Love mine. Oracle is basically a dual boiler with extra bits attached

As an aldi medium dark buyer. What difference can I expect here

Out of stock now Ordered let's see

Breville often have them on their own eBay store as a 'refurb'. I got one when eBay had a discount code on for less than 900 dollars. When…

OP It's $1274 on David Jones at the moment. Not low enough for me to buy yet but may be for you. JB hi-fi refused to price beat it as…

Doesn't seem much stock of these around for a sale

Where can you get the express impress for that price?

How do you know which burrs to get with the DF64? The price changes alot with the burrs. Stock Iv heard is good alone

yo dawg I heard you like coffee, so i put some coffee in your coffee so you can have coffee while you're having coffee

Probably easier to get a dual boiler and colour wrap it yourself

Last ten times as long as the the $100-$200 dollar annual wear and chuck shoes

This with a good grinder or a bigger Breville with the built in grinder. I believe the new Breville built in grinders are baratza esp burrs
