    Hopefully they won't run out like the Mother's day gift pack.
    Not very excited by the 3 kg of P & R coffee I got instead.

  I am not familiar with this machine but it looks like the barista express but with the milk temperature sensor approach from the Bambino (measure outside the jug at the base, a bit of a flawed approach imo).
  I find it difficult to see value for this model, compared with the Barista Express for about half the price.
  For this kind of money you should be able to get something like a Dual Boiler machine and a smart grinder pro.

    What? This is the model up. This one does the work for you, compared to the dual boiler.

      I think the oracle is model above, this one is below the dual boiler. I'd prefer the dual boiler to both oracle and this one.

        Ah, the touchscreen threw me.

        The dual boiler is a good one. I picked one up when they were going for something like $700.

        Have you used an Oracle?

          @serpserpserp: No, I have got the 920, dual boiler. Wanted to have more control over the process, plus much cheaper. Like it more than Rancilio Silvia I used before.

      It looks to be a single thermoblock system based on the Barista Express with the thermometer in the drip dray taken from the Bambino, made to look upmarket (debatable) by fitting a small touchscreen which ironically will probably date the machine in a short while.

  I picked up one of these from Costco late last year. Absolutely love it!

  I have this model. Don't see a need for a dual boiler. Only downside is the pricey water filters which are unique, about $20 each.

  We like the touchscreen, easy for anyone to use. I have my custom setting {name}achino, and a "Creamy Latte" which is like a cross between a latte and a cappuchino.

  Since May 2019 we've put through approx 2 cups a day so about 1000 cups of coffee through it, besides some grinder issues due to not cleaning it as much I should, which I fixed by putting uncooked rice through while changing the grind controller, it's hasn't missed a beat.

  This price is nothing special though, I paid $1196.

    Agree the price is nothing special. I am looking for this exact model but unfortunately this seems to be the cheapest going around. Was hoping there would be better sales for father's day.

  The price of the Breville coffee machines have all gone up dramatically in the last 6 months blamed on the lower Aussie dollar. Now that the dollar is shooting up should we see a price decrease anytime soon?

  I've been keeping an eye on the "Breville the Barista Pro" model since Bing Lee were selling it for $719.20 this time last year, now its $899 when on sale!

  The Breville hierarchy(and what I think is a good price):

  Oracle (?)
  Dual boiler (700-800)
  Barista express with touchscreen (?)
  Barista express(550)
  Infuser(350-375)
  Bambino(325-375)
  Duo Temp pro(270-300)

  This or a Rancilio Silvia V6 for $200 less?

  • 

    DmytroP on 05/09/2020 - 17:24

    You would need the grinder with Silvia

    • 

      serpserpserp on 05/09/2020 - 18:12

      Hmm so at $150-200 for that comes out even. So which is the better machine?

        They are different approaches - it would depend on what you want from the machine.
        Silvia has a boiler which has more thermal inertia to give some temperature stability, with traditional simpler components, probably easier to maintain and last with regular maintenance for a long time.
        Breville has the cheaper thermocoil approach (a newer thermoblock) instead of a boiler, but uses digital control (PID) to overcome the low thermal inertia and adjust the temperature quickly for thermal stability. The PID in conjunction with the shot and steam automation will give more repeatable results.
        This model Breville has the cheaper water heating (single thermoblock), with added extras to attract the premium price (touchscreen, adjustable shot volume, temperature etc, thermal sensing under the milk jug etc)
        Depends on what you would prefer:
        Breville if you dont want to have to get to know the machine properly to use it. The benefit will be repeatable shots, faster warm up times and a shorter learning curve to producing good coffee.
        Silvia if you want to go the traditional boiler route, but are prepared to wait for it to warm up, and also put in time to adjust your technique to the machine.
