    My machine is six years old and going strong. Serviced once. Dual boiler function a godsend.

    • +1

      What was done during the service? What did it cost and who did it?
      Mine is about 5 years old. Water spigot and steam wand leak a bit and I can hear some occasional hissing internally, assume its a minor o-ring leak.

      • +5

        The internal hissing is an o-ring leak. I put up with that hiss until it triggered the fuse and had to have it serviced, I think it was a couple of hundred bucks.

        That was the steam boiler then about a year later I heard another hiss from the other boiler and had those o-rings changed, $150.

        All up it's been over 6 years and going strong. Still tempted to buy a new one as unfortunately there isn't really a strong competitor at this price-point.

        I think it's the fact that it has 2 boilers and a 58mm diameter portafilter that makes the overall difference here.

        • Bought some o-rings today for future DIY when I hear the hissing sound. Didn't think it was difficult based on the youtube videos I have watched. I could be wrong :)

        • Had the same issue after 3 years. Fortunately Breville was able to have it diagnosed and repaired even thou it was outside warranty. I did have to remind them about ACCC’s consumer protection vs manufacturers warranty but beside that it was a good process.

      • +1

        Yeah, that’s extremely common.
        I’d advise to replace the o-rings by latest on year 3.

      • +1

        Changed the O-Rings, gave it a proper internals clean, tightened what needed to be tightened and replaced what needed to be replaced.

        Can't remember the cost but I wasn't upset by it, place in Balwyn, VIC - EspressoFix

        • How much did it cost?

  • +2

    Thanks OP. I like to tie my date and then offer a coffee in the morning 😏

  • Just had mine repaired, a valve went. 5,000 cups done and still going strong.

  • +4

    I'd consider buying at this price. I don't think we will see $699 units again due to inflation

    • +1

      Best price this side of the pandemic was $725 including giftcard discounts, but you're right - unlikely to be a common deal going forward.

  • Just bought it at JB for 1049 :-(((((

    • +2

      Go back and show them the new price. I had to force my brother to do that and they gave him a store credit

      • For real? Even with an ebay coupon deal like this you reckon?

        • +1

          Also available at GG Commercial for $905 C&C or $940 with shipping. You can also lock in that quote for 30 days so if it doesn't go cheaper during Black Friday sales you can fall back to the quote price.

          • @Solrak: How do you lock in a price for 30 days with TGG commercial?

            • @dammit: Add item to cart then view cart. You should see request to quote option next to proceed to checkout

        • No harm in trying. Tell them you haven't opened it and will bring it back if they don't match the price

          • @Royale with cheese: Tried that once. They said I need to bring it back to the store to get a refund. Was annoying but I got $100 back.

        • +2

          JB should be able to price match since it is also the same $999 price on their Bing Lee website

          Also for those who have JB and Coles nearby, you could get 15% off TCN gift cards at Coles from Wed onwards to bring the purchase price down to $849.15

  • still waiting for Lance's version to come out. Probably way more than this however

    • Guaranteed that one will have Flow control/naked portafilter and more steaming pressure from the Latte art champ

    • Have they confirmed that they're mass-producing his version though? I thought it was just for an expo stall?

    • +3

      This is cheap for a machine of this spec

    • +1

      If you were paying $5 for a cup of coffee, it's only about 200 coffees to break even!

      • Mines 6 and half years old and 8500+ shots. Had a bit of maintenance along the way but to be expected

      • If you're paying 50c per coffee using pods it's only about 2000 coffees to break even!

        • +10

          While pods are okay. They aren't in the same league as freshly ground whole beans extracted correctly with the BES920

      • -5

        But im on Ozbargain..I dont buy coffee's.

        I refill MAP pods with fresh roasted Aldi beans. MAP machine is a boiler (not thermoblock). Wand is good enough for microfoam with the right technique.

        MAP machine was $25 with 50 poods (not a typo).

        I also use a Delonghi auto machine (repair them), but the MAP machine makes a better coffee.

        Breville machine is also a great machine…WAYYYYY better than an auto…but not $875 better than a MAP with a boiler.

        P.S. refilling pods is the same as the Breville effort. Except i can do 5 coffees worth of shots in one hit..so actually less work.

        • Nothing like that rich crema you get from coffee ground 8+ hours earlier

          • @oznik: No, I mean if someone is visiting etc.. You smash out 5 or whatever fresh grind coffee's a few mins before they get there. Then pump them out when they get there in pod convenience time.

            The realities -
            I chose Map pods as you can get 12g in a shot. Nespresso etc are too small. The Breville is about 18g shot, so you need to factor that in with your cup size, or use 2 for a mug. The MAP machine uses a boiler..so can actually reach the temps you need for Espresso. Other machines using thermoblocks wont get to this temp.

            With the negs above.. I get it. Putting fresh ground in a pod machine is too much of a mind bender for some.

            But if you think of it this way..both machines use the exact same pump (literally). You can actually set the tamp pressure with a refilled pod as well (cant with an auto machine), both use a boiler. So with the same beans and grind size, water, pour ratio, technique…they produce a very comparable extraction time and product (it comes out much slower than a store pod). People ask me what machine I use all the time..

            Breville does have dual boiler convenience, but this uses twice the amount of watts. I use my machine camping and a dual boiler puts me over the inverter limit. Also, solar in the morning is low. I try to run self sufficient, so a single boiler allows that.

            The Breville is a great machine. But way over priced in my mind for what is actually inside the box. They manufacture cost is very similar to a cheaper unit.

            Its basically supply and demand. If $900 for coffee doesnt bother you..go for it. It makes a great coffee. But if $900 isnt in your budget, dont disregard a cheaper option configured a bit different, in the way you know good coffee should be made..it will be very comparable.

            • +2

              @tunzafun001: Point me at a comparabky priced dual booler machine. I'll wait.

              And no. Comparing a ferrari to a camry doesnt make you smart. It makes you a camry driver.

              • @[Deactivated]: Fair enough, if a dual boiler is what you seek.
                Not sure about the camry/ Ferrari comparison (unless you are talking about kit cars)…as under the cover they have the same engines. You could buy 4 Camry's for 1/10th of a Ferrari (and have a quad boiler), but would chew bench space…so back to my first sentence. But not sure bench space is the priority as it doesnt have a built in grinder. But lets say a hand grinder and dual boiler is your thing. Then yep, this.

                • +2

                  @tunzafun001: Then entire point is that its a discussion on a ferrari. And its a fantastic price for a ferrari.

                  You've walked in here giving a condescending speech about how everyone actually only needs a camry. Youve gone into extreme detail on how a camry has an engine, and will drive you from a to b. How your camrys always worked for you just fine. And a long list of reasons why a camry is actually better value. You've even implied they have they same engine because they share a water pump, which is as idiotic as it sounds for both the car and the coffee machine comparison.

                  But heres the thing. Nobody asked. Nobody cares. 99 percent of people in the market for this machine are discerning enough to know tbese differences already.

                  This wasnt the chance for you to impress everybody with ceaseless opining about an incomparable product. We get it. You think you're smart.

                  Just, please, stop?

  • Thanks OP, I was waiting for any price close to 1000 for this machine and 900 is a great deal.

  • This is an awesome deal.

    Just had my 6 year old machine serviced but still tempted to buy a brand new one and sell the old one?

    • That's probably what i'm going to do with mine. If yours is in good nick and working fine you should get $350-$400 for it.

      • Yes that sounds like a good plan!

    • Question, how much does a machine servicing cost and where can I have my machine serviced?

      • Breville has a list of service centres.

        It depends on what needs servicing? If it's leaking o-rings on the boiler then it's about $150-$250?

        • Or you can order the o-rings (they come as a complete kit) for about $25 and do it yourself in a couple of hours!

          • @thedriver: Any tips on where to buy the o-ring kits?

          • @thedriver: I had a look at how it's done to change the fuse for the steam boiler and it looks like major surgery! I wasn't going to try.

  • +6

    Tempting. How would this compare to the Bambino Plus? would the difference be massive?

  • Good price. Just need a sale on the Smart Grinder Pro.

    • have you looked for a used one? there are some good deals around for barely used ones, plus it's pretty straightforward to clean.

    • +1

      If you can, stretch your budget a bit further and get something like the Eureka Specialita or if you don't mind hand grinding, the 1zpresso J-Max. Both yield a noticeable improvement in taste over the SGP.

  • Has anyone have this and also the Express 870 one? I'm using 870 and just wondering if it's worth upgrading. I'm not fussy about the heating up time, I'm more care about the shot quality.

    • If you care about shot quality, the 58mm portafilter is the answer.

      • Size of portafilter won't make a difference, why would it ? Pressure/water temperature, grind amount and fineness can all be dialed in for any size.

        The barista express is awesome, makes espressos better than the vast majority of cafes.

        • +1

          In theory, a larger surface area enables the puck to be subject to a larger extraction force, which produces a more aromatic shot. But on the downside, the margin of error for dialling in is much smaller. All variables have to be perfect.

          On the contrary, a smaller portfilter with a deeper puck is more resistant to channelling and allows more time for the water to extract the solubles. I would say it gives a more consistent result. Honestly, unless you are a professional barista, i cant tell much of a difference.

    • +2

      Recently upgraded from the Express. The Dual Boiler gives you more control than the Express, if you're able to make use of that control, it should lead to better shots. Once you get the hang of it, it's also much easier + quicker to steam silky milk. Whether that's worth the upgrade, only you can decide! Personally, I'm very happy with mine, but wouldn't be disappointed if I had to stick with the Express.

      Between the Express and the DB, the skill of the barista would play a bigger factor in the quality of the shot than the machines would. I honestly think that for the vast majority of people, the Express is more than capable of producing perfectly satisfactory shots / coffee-based beverages at home. The DB is for enthusiasts who want to dive deeper into the hobby.

  • +2

    how does it compare to the bambino plus?

    • I'm in same situation - have Bambino Plus and been v happy with it. this is tempting tho!

      • Any reason upgrading to this one as you already owned Bambino Plus ?

        • few things. larger portafilter (58mm), larger drip tray

          • @Deal-Sniper: will there be major difference btw 54mm portafilter and 58 mm? Considering to buy a Bambino plus, but still doing research.

            • +1

              @JinWu: the barista express is absolutely awesome, why would portafilter size make a difference ? You need to dial in grind amount/fineness and water pressure.

              Fwiwi the express using very small amount of config - just the grind size and fineness makes stunning espressos.

    • +1

      If wanting to know what the pressure is, the ability to pull a shot at the same time as steaming is important to you then this is definitely an upgrade. For me it was, as it sped up my workflow.

      With a 58mm vs 54mm, I see no difference as you can buy different weight baskets, the only problem is you won't be able to take them with you if you do decide to upgrade to a 58mm machine.

      But if your Bambino is still making great coffee then save your money and put it towards a decent grinder. Your technique and workflow is so much more important. Just my 2c.

      • Thanks for your comment, it really make sense. Bambino might be more friendly to an entry level people like me.

    • +2

      Very different machines! I own the Bambino Plus, the Barista Express and the Dual Boiler.

      The Dual Boiler, paired with a good grinder has the most enjoyable workflow for me + offers the greatest level of control.

      The Bambino heats up the fastest and takes up the least space, making it great for apartments - but you'll still need a good quality grinder to get the best out of the machine.

      The Express is a great compromise between capability and convenience, the built-in grinder, while not the best, is perfectly acceptable to anyone who isn't very particular about their coffee.

      All three machines are capable of producing great coffee. Aside from the grinder used, the Barista's skill + the quality of the beans and milk used would be bigger factors in quality than having to stick with any of the three machines. Check out the Youtube channels of Lance Hedrick, Emylee Bryant, Seven Miles Coffee, James Hoffman etc to learn more about technique, that should get you better quality shots than any upgrade would :)

      • +1

        A lot to learn.
        You are right, technique is more important.
        Thanks for the information mate!!

  • +1

    The Barista Pro is RRP $900 which is what I've been waiting for. Should I just take the plunge on this one and a grinder?

    • +2

      Yes

    • Myer sells the Pro for $1399!

    • If you dont have a machine yet. Then get this.

    • Yeah. Get this and the eureka Mignon specialita from espresso coffee shop in Europe or df64/Df64e depending on what you want

  • Oh man I thought they stopped selling this model without the grinder so I ended up getting the bambino plus last week.

  • I currently have the Barista Pro. Is it worth upgrading to this one?

    • +1

      Dont bother. You wont notice a difference to the quality of your shot. The big change is being able to pull a shot while steaming milk. It is just a workflow improvement, whether is that worth $900 to you, thats your call. And dont forget you will need a separate grinder.

      • Yeah don't think it's worth for me. The steamer already warms up in 3 seconds. Thanks for the advice! :)

      • One other factor I wonder about having a separate steam boiler is the fact that it is set at a higher temperature than the brewing boiler and can steam the milk better?

  • +6

    The Cable Tie is the real hero in this bargain

  • Here we go again … Was just about to buy an ECM machine…now this is tempting and the ozbargainer in me is coming out

  • I bought a second hand dual boiler and it vibrates and makes a very loud noise when brewing - is that normal?

    • -1

      Yes that's normal. For a second hand dual boiler.

    • I don't know about your one for sure but when I got my new one, it sounded like a diesel truck compared to my old coffee machine so it may be normal.

    • Do you put cups on the heating plate above the machine? Do they vibrate when brewing? Mine don't vibrate or rattle but it is noisy when making coffee but I won't call it loud.

  • +1

    Awesome, just bought one. Thanks OP. Have ordered a Niche Zero so this will make a nice combo as Christmas present to myself.

    • @spacenoodle Where did you get it? And what did you pay for it?

      • Many buy direct from Niche UK for £499 and £95 delivery, you can specify AU plug.

        • Yep, bought it directly from the UK. Substantially cheaper than if I were to get it through an AU reseller.

          • @spacenoodle: I have Eureka Specialita as find it good value and easy workflow.
            I guess for NZ single does, you would need to come up with a system to store lots of small amount of beans rather than keep opening the coffee beans bag and get stale?

            • @huntabargain: How do you like the Specialita? Also you can use coffee vials to store 20gm beans. Works pretty well.

              • +2

                @OzBrogains: It is quiet, fast (takes ~9sec to grind 18gm), I just fill hopper with enough beans for around 3 days coffee.

  • For some reason I'm only getting a $50 coupon when using SNSNOV. Anyone else?

  • +1

    Ordered this and the Eureka Mignon Single Dose. Can't wait

  • Is delivery not available? It says C&C only.

  • The deal's gone but you can still do click and collect for 950.

  • Thought the cable tie was needed for some mod for a second there.

  • -3

    A good domestic machine. Just don't confuse it with a "proper" coffee machine…

    • +1

      @AN Other
      I don't think anyone is confusing this $900 machine with any $5000 plus machines but it is easily the best in it's class.

      I would love to purchase the $7000 La Marzocco Linea Mini but can't justify that price for my use, maybe one day? :)
