    Hi pessimus,

    Thanks for the question.

    It is omni-roasted, so you will achieve great results brewing either filter or espresso.

    Hope to see you make a purchase :)

        Hi C0mbat,

        Thanks for the question.

        It's a medium-omni roast suitable for both filter and espresso.

        We hope to see you give it a try :)

  An awesome deal. Have bought from here before and it's good stuff.
  Would pay a few dollars more to have them pre-ground though as I don't have a grinder.

    You wouldn't want a kg bag of pre-ground unless you go through it in a few days? And if you do then you definitely drink enough coffee to justify a grinder! 😁

    Getting a grinder will improve you coffees (no matter which way you drink it) more than any other upgrade.

    Hi luke6000,

    Thanks so much for the compliment :)

    Unfortunately this particular deal is only whole beans, but I can attest that purchasing a grinder is a solid investment.

    Something to consider ;)

      Which grinder would you recommend for it to go with breville dual boiler?

      • 

        wardrop on 31/01/2022 - 11:07

        I've got a Breville dual boiler. I use to have a Breville grinder, but it started playing up after about 1.5 years. Ended up getting a full refund and bought a Baratza Virtuoso coffee grinder. Use it for both espresso (grind setting ~4) and plunger (grind setting 15). Hasn't missed a beat in the year or so I've had it.

        It doesn't have a holder for a portafilter, but that's not a problem for me. I either hold the portafilter under the outlet, or just let it go in the little collector/bucket and pour it in over the sink or bin to catch any mess. It's never been a problem for me.

            wardrop on 17/02/2022 - 10:31

            @Flyingbeast: Yep, and ended up getting more than a full refund. I originally bought from Good Guys through eBay using an ebay discount. The Good Guys invoice showed the full amount without the eBay discount, and so I get refunded more than a paid. Not bad given I'd owned the grinder for a 1.5 years. Had it been out of warranty though, well breville, like most appliances companies, leave a lot to be desired if you wish to source parts and repair yourself. I shouldn't have that problem with my Baratza grinder.

        If you have BDB, buy a decent grinder to produce amazing cup of coffee using freshly roasted beans. The minimum I would buy is Breville Smart Coffee Grinder Pro (many deals was around lately for ~$200) It used to be on TGG commercial for $216 but not listed now. I bought Eureka Specialita direct import for around $550 and very happy with it, very solid, consistent grind and very quite.

            @Flyingbeast: Another +1 for Eureka Specialita.

            Sunbeam or Breville do not have anything in the same league. Breville Smart Coffee Grinder Pro is better than buying pre-ground coffee, but there are issues with grind consistency, noise and retention. At least it's not as messy as Sunbeam grinders.

            Baratza have some fancy technology, however longevity is not there and their grinders tend to break. On the plus side, Baratza will sell you spare parts so you can keep repairing your grinder as necessary, instead of sending it to landfill.

            @Flyingbeast: Offer 1 year international warranty, so you ship to them at your cost and they will send to you free. But guess if some parts needed replacement they can just send you that parts and you change it yourself. Not much goes wrong with the grinder tho. If you not comfortable with this you can buy local for around $750.

        My two cents on the already good info provided by others.

        I have the Breville Smart Grinder Pro and it's a great starter grinder. Along with smaller investments in a good tamper (find the matow palm tamper on Amazon), a funnel ring (also matow) and a wdt tool I've reached coffee that surpasses all but my very favourite coffee shops. I know that my grinder is the weak link (albeit not a huge weak link) so have been looking at alternatives.

        I've had my eye on the rather expensive Niche Zero for a while but that brought me to a new release called the Lagom Mini by Option O. It's about $525 (for the 48mm burr version) . It's a very small electric grinder that the top YouTube reviewers say beat the Niche Zero. Both are zero retention grinders (no stale grinds stuck in the grinder).

        Anyway, this sent me down a very long rabbit hole of watching videos for weeks about manual hand grinders because the Lagom Mini is basically the parts from a great manual grinder with a motor added. It turns out that manual grinders have had far more innovation in the past few years than electric ones and $100-$350 will grinder coffee at a standard that you get from electric machines that cost many times more.

        So my next investment is going to be the 1zpresso JX Pro. It's $249 from alternative brewing. It has a 48mm burr set where as the Breville Smart Grinder Pro is only 39mm. However you can get the Nomcore V2 for only $150 from Amazon. Both are espresso grinders and both grind fast (about 40 seconds so fast for a manual)

        What ever you choose make sure you get a grinder at some point 😁

          I have a breville smart grinder pro, a matow funnel ring, and a matow tamper, but no wdt tool. I'm still struggling to make consistently good coffee; it's either a hit or a miss.

          Could you please tell me which beans you use, the exact grind size with smart grinder pro, and the dosage in for a perfect coffee like the ones at cafes? Thank you for reading this, and look forward to hearing your thoughts 😊

            @Flyingbeast: The WDT tool is not going to make or break it to be honest. So if you're struggling to get consistent coffee there are quite a few variables that you will need to look at. Some of the major ones being:

            • Quality and freshness of your beans - What do you use, how old are your beans typically and how do you store them?
            • What basket type are you using? My understanding is that the dual boiler comes with two single and two double baskets. One pressurised and one non-pressurised
            • Are you getting channelling during extraction (often obvious because the flow is faster or it's coming out of only one spout (or mainly out of one spout)?
            • What grind setting and dose time do you have? This has a huge influence when combined with any of the above three things
            • Are you tamping properly and consistently? Given that you have the palm tamper, I assume this shouldn't be an issue but watching some of the videos might confirm this.

            I have to say that coffee nirvana is attainable with the grinder and machine that you have. It's a case of really thinking about the variables and then watching some of the experts on YouTube like the Kyle Rowsell, Lifestyle Lab, James Hoffman, and Lance Hedrick. For example (I note that these are not specific to the Dual Boiler):

I'm just thinking about switching to Oracle to save time and make consistent coffees on a regular basis 🤔🤔

              • 

                huntabargain on 03/02/2022 - 11:51

                @Flyingbeast: Mate, it is not that complicated, once you get the does, grind right, you will hardly need much adjustment, probably slight tweak with grind size when beans gets older after 2-3 weeks. Most important use freshly roasted beans, grind 20 gm IN (use the double basket), use leveller/distributer then tamp consistent. Aim to get 40ml OUT in 30 sec. If get more OUT, then grind finer. So basically keep the dose amount the same. (Oracle has the does amount fixed, so the only variable is the grind size). If you have BDB, don't waste $$ to buy Oracle. With Oracle you have no control of distribution, levelling and dose amount nor pressure gauge and no option to use good grinder. If you have bottomless portafilter, it will give you good indication if channelling is an issue.
                If you happen to buy grinder, buy one specially designed for espresso, not general grind or for pour over or filter..

                @Flyingbeast: Unfortunately the Oracle won't solve your problems if you can't make a consistent cup of coffee right not. The only thing that the oracle does that your machine doesn't is to tamp the grinds in the basket and to auto froth the milk. In reality a worse cup of coffee is just as likely as a better because of the auto tamping. With only a small amount of practice a human should be able to tamp better than the Oracle.

                The reality is that if you get a few things right then it all becomes second nature. Turning yourself in to a quality barista is not that difficult providing you pay attention to some of the key variables.

                Can you answer my above 5 questions and at least I might be able to identify a major issue?

              @C0mbat: Sorry l didn't realise you wanted me to answer those questions🤦 Let me try to answer them now:

              1. Those are fresh Single O paradox coffee beans kept in a screwed glass jar at room temperature (they were probably roasted 4-5 days ago when they arrived).

              2. Dual basket presurrised one; I tried the non-presurrised one but got too much dose out of it.

              3. I'm not sure because I don't yet have a bottomless portafilter.

              4. I try Grind setting 5, 6 on smart grinder pro, 21-22 gms in and hope to get about 41-44ml dose out for two cups in the default two cup setting. However, this is where I sometimes get too little, just fine, or too much dose out. I'm not sure why this isn't consistent and is painful after all of the efforts.

              5. Yes, I believe tamping with the matow tamper is fine; it's quite even, leveled and about 3-4 mm below the edge.

                C0mbat on 03/02/2022 - 18:35

                @Flyingbeast: Thanks. I commented below as well earlier so that will provide some insight from my side.

                With regards to the above, your beans are high quality and while they are still a little too fresh that won't impact the extraction too much. There are a few things sticking out to me:

                5-6 grind size is very fine and finer than most would likely use. When you add the fact that you are also dosing at the very top end (maybe even above) the recommended range for the double shot Breville basket with 22 grams it's likely to choke the machine. Add the pressurised basket in to this mix and it just multiplies the issue many times over. So my guess is that most of the time you are getting much slower extractions than you should be because the machine is choked. The reason the extraction time will vary quite a lot is because your shots will be channelling every single time and sometimes the channelling will be worse than others. The problem with the pressurised basket is that because it comes out of only one hole there is no way of telling if it has channelled as it distributes between the two spouts in the porter filter evenly. But trust me, I'm almost certain that you are channelling 100% of the time, varying from a complete choke where only a tiny amount of water has found a channel to a fast flow where all of the water found a fast flowing channel. One piece of evidence for this would be where parts of the puck are dryer than others. Plus the top of the puck would have some craters where all of the water went through.

                See below for a bit more of an explanation.
                https://wokelark.com/pressurized-vs-non-pressurized-portafil…

                I'm going to suggest something extreme but it's a starting point with your pressurised basket. Set your grind size to 18 and bring the dose back down to closer to 17-18 grams (could be around 14 seconds but that is a guess). You may think this will result in weak coffee but in reality if your current extractions are channelling then your will be under extracting every time. So even though this is counter intuitive you should get a stronger brew. I'm assuming that you're making milk based drinks here. If it's not strong enough for you just put less milk in your cup until you're satisfied with the taste. Once you are then you can dose up a little to increase the strength. Grinder finer with the pressurised basket won't make much difference.

                As long as you're using the pressurised basket you won't ever need to go much lower than 18. I actually used to have mine set at 23 with the pressurised. Once you start getting consistent shots and build some confidence then you will need to move to the non-pressurised basket and reduce the grind setting down to more around the 7-12 range.

                  Flyingbeast on 04/02/2022 - 13:15

                  @C0mbat: Thank you again, mate; this has compelled me thinking that there is something wrong with my machine. I choose a finer grind size because otherwise there is too much yield coming out of it.

                  I tried both dual presurrised and dual non-pressurised baskets based on your suggestion. With a pressurised basket and an 18gm dose at grind size 18 (14 secs), I get a yield of about 70 ml. And with an 18gm dose at grind size 7 (14 secs), I'm getting about 110 ml out of a non-presurrised basket. Also, instead of reaching the ideal range of 8-10, the bar pressure is quite low and only reaches around 5-7 with the 18 gm dose.

                  It's strange that my yield out is so different from yours, which is probably 36-40 mL.
                  Do you think my machine is faulty and should be looked at by Breville?

                  Out of interest have you also updated the default pre-infusion and bar pressure settings in your machine and maybe something that l need to adjust?

                    @Flyingbeast: It does not sound anything wrong with your machine, would love to help you to get a good shot. When I upgraded from Breville Barista Express to Italian made double boiler it took me at least couple of weeks to get used to it from brewing, dosing, grind and steaming. My Italian DB machine only came with single wall 2 baskets for proper espresso. If I were you, I would give BDB its justice and only use the single wall basket for proper shot. If you getting 5-7 bar pressure and get considerable amount of liquid out, it means you need to grind finer as well as increase your coffee amount. With my machine, I put 20gm IN and I believe the BDB recommend 19-22 gm. Remember when you change grind setting, it takes a while to see the intent grind result. So if you increase does to say 20/21 gm and grind finer, till you achieve the liquid OUT, you would also find improvement in pressure gauge to around the 9bar. Give attention to levelling, distribute and tamper technique as if not done properly may get channelling and impact on liquid and pressure.
                    BTW, my sister household has the Oracle and they tell me the machine Auto grind dispose 21gm for double shot basket. Good luck and let us know how you go!

I was told that brewing with coffee beans blend (specially in the beginning) is easier than with single origin, so might be something to look at in the future.

                            @Flyingbeast: I have Eureka Specialita grinder so different grind setting than the Breville one. But when I had the Barista Express and after going down to as low as grind 1-2, I adjusted the upper burr by 2 number down and it worked fine, it was producing good shots. I am not sure what issue you are experiencing with using non pressurized basket? If it is low pressure and high yield, then you need more resistance which is generally achieved by grind finer, tamp harder, increase does, eliminate channelling and use fresh beans, as stale beans tend to require finer grind. You can also try to increase the pre-infusion time, as it could help to reduce channelling/cracking the puck.

            @Flyingbeast: Everything that Combat said plus you need to understand that the grind for the same beans may vary slightly each day. Some baristas could go through 1/4kg of beans each morning dialling in their grind which obviously isn't feasible in a domestic setting so you'll need to accept some inconsistencies.

            I have a BES920 with the smart grinder and it took me a few months to realise that the first coffee of the day needs to be ground slightly finer than the rest…haven't bothered looking into why but knowing it's needed makes the pours more consistent.

            Do you weigh out your beans and/or grinds? eg: Beans A might give you 19g of grinds in 20sec on setting 7 but could give you 22g in 20sec on setting 9. Beans B might only give you 17g of grind in 20sec on setting 7.

            Watch the Youtube vids and know that whatever your grinder, it will likely need tweaking each day to get consistent pours.

                @Flyingbeast: Further to my above new message, I have to say that I rarely have to do much in the way of tinkering with the grind setting to dial in my coffee. Most of the beans that I use sit somewhere between 9-12 on my grind setting depending on the roast (medium or dark) and the freshness of the beans. Given those small margins it doesn't really take more than a coffee or two to get it right and even the first coffee is totally acceptable and does not go to waste. I have a few friends who also use similar grind settings.

                We are all using the non-pressurised basket, which is much more difficult to get used to but produces better results once perfected than the pressurised one. If you are really struggling then I would recommend going with the pressurised double shot basket for a while as it takes out some of the key variables and makes it far easier to get consistently good shots.

                  @C0mbat:

                  I have to say that I rarely have to do much in the way of tinkering with the grind setting to dial in my coffee. Most of the beans that I use sit somewhere between 9-12 on my grind setting

                  Interesting that you say you don't have to do much tinkering with your grind settings. 9-12 is about the range my grinder will stay for most 1kg bags of beans but that variation could be up to 10sec difference in the pour.

                  The point I'm making is that many people become frustrated when learning because they're trying to find one grind settings for a bag of beans (out even their machine) without realising the variables that are countered by adjusting grind size.

                  I see people leaving a hopper full of beans in their grinder at home that might not be used for a week. They've got no idea about the oxidation and accelerated aging that's going on and can't work out what's wrong with their coffee.

                    @OzBragain: Yeah, very good points. I use a combination of portioning up a kg of beans in to snack size ziploc bags (~120g each) and freezing them and then my vacuum cannister to only put 1 days worth (three cups) in to my hopper. That's not as extreme as doing it by the cup (I'm headed there when I buy the 1zpresso JX Pro that I have my eye on) but it's good enough.

                    There are probably many things that I could do to dial in my shots even more but I feel that I'm pretty close to a great shot each time and certainly better than most coffee shops. I think Mecca and Sydney and Brother Bada Budan in Melbourne are literally the only coffee shops I've tried who beat me on consistency but I've there are many coffee shops who beat me in a one off best cup vs best cup comparison if you know what I mean.

                    I got some some older beans out of the freezer this morning that are the most dark roasted that I've ever had so changed the grind setting from 9 to 12 and it did the job perfectly. Did it extract a little quick? Yes. But that's fine because darker roasts are more soluble.

                    I personally think that if you do the basics right such as buy good beans, store them correctly and keep your dosing and grind settings within a fairly small range you will get consistently good coffee. For most people that will be all they ever need or want. But as you point out above, some people aren't necessarily doing the basics right.

    Ethiopian coffees tend to be quite fruity, lacking the taste strength that come with either darker roasts or more Central American coffees.You might end up with a milkshake more than a bold "coffee" tasting coffee.

  I'd buy these if you had a filter roast option. I've found that for most roasters, omni roast generally delivers better results for espresso than filter.

    Hi tomfairbs,

    That's a fair comment.

    We've chosen to go with an omni-profile to cover all bases, but I understand your point.

    Hopefully in the future we can offer a strictly filter roast coffee that will be exactly what you're looking for :)

    Correct. Omni-roast is like saying medium espresso roast. Filters will taste roasty and you won't be able to do much about it.

•

  Are these 100% Arabica? I have never seen their coffees before and there are no reviews on the website.

    Hi sphinxy,

    Thanks so much for your purchase.

    An omni-roast profile is a coffee roasted to be suitable for both filter and espresso brewing.

    It sits around the medium roast level.

    We'd love to hear how you go brewing it up on your Flair :)

  Any chance of deals on single origin 🌱green🌱 beans? I find that very often beans are roasted too dark for my liking. It would be interesting to buy 1kg of green beans + 200g of reference roast as normally shipped to customers. Then I could compare roasts and decide whether it's worth the hassle of roasting my own. 😉

  How hard can it be to deliver a bag of coffee from Yarraville VIC to Bentleigh VIC?
