Sunbeam all have aluminium portafilters..... I avoid them for this reason

From memory April and August were the ones for this part of the year, then later

My dad used to own an EM6910, the 7000/7100 is different to the sunbeam's they've released recently. When you get a chance check them out,…

I looked when they first came out

My 2c is that the grinder mechanism seems flimsy and the portafilter is aluminium The rest is up to what you want in your machine

Yep, that's the one. It is a heavier weight and fits most forked grinders. I barely use the old one, except to clean the machine

You forgot this step, watch this guy - https://www.youtube.com/@LanceHedrick

New models come with both pressurised and non pressurised baskets with the BB+ now I upgraded to a BBE portafilter, due to it having proper…

I gave my dad my old smart grinder pro when I got a mazzer super jolly, it's quite fine if you use WDT to break up the clumps. Infact he…

The two aren't even in the same league, but let them bang that drum

I don't know why they spout this rubbish all the time, found a sales guy from JB who told me what the real story was when I was looking at…

It's more like the dose control I think than the smart grinder, agreed on everything else

These two machines couldn't be more different, the Barista Pro is very similar to the Barista Express internally just with a touch screen…

I feel you're overblowing the cleaning cycle as it's every 250 odd cycles, considering this is the cheapest 9 bar, PID and 3 way valve…

$326 for me in 2020, was probably at its lowest, but I needed to buy single wall baskets and a BBE portafilter so it took it up to 426…

Nah, it says to only press the steam button to cancel the backflush warning. No other steps

It always seems to happen just between a shot and steaming milk, so it annoys me too... what is in the manual about how to reset it doesn't…

This couldn't be further from the truth, it's way more capable

For anyone curious, the machine I got this week from this sale has a build week of 2327

I was impatient, it's there now

It's not on their website, must be instore only?

This has now gone back up to $1499

I'd be pretty confident 2023 would have all the improvements. Considering it has been out of stock for so long this would be a new…

less than two weeks! I guess I must be

If this expires, it seems like Harvey Norman have matched - https://www.harveynorman.com.au/breville-the-dual-boiler-coffee-machine.html

Not entirely sure what you're getting at, feature set and mods alone make this a standout. Just because it's not made of commercially…

It might be worth mentioning that whilst Lance appears to be impartial, he does work with Breville. Saw his review on the BDB and it was…

I did after you prodded me to, whilst I respect your choice of going a high end HX thermal stability wouldn't be the same. Will leave it up…

it has been out of stock since August in most retailers, if you're not dying you may get a better offer... but it might be short lived

I'm looking forward to seeing what my dad can pull out of this machine, it's a 58mm and quite a bit more smarts than my little Bambino Plus
