Breville Dual Boiler at close to an ATL
There shouldn't be issues anymore, the old design was just fundamentally flawed.
I bought this from HN back in 2016 for $700 and only in the last month has the o-ring seals started to leak, but this is a straight forward fix and there are youtube vides for this. About 2020 I replaced the solidnoid valve and that was it. Makes between 2 to 4 coffees a day. The 'Descale me' stuck message? Do the normal Descale then just do a reset of the machine and it goes away.
I got one second hand for ~400ish, had the steam wand start leaking after a few years, ignored it and kept making coffee to the point where it wouldn't reheat after the first heat up of the day. Took it to a guy and the insides were basically rusted out, but somehow I still got 3 coffees' a day out of it for a year plus after the wand started leaking.
If you take care of them they do a lot better than if you treat them poorly, but your mileage will vary a lot. I've got a guy in brisbane who looks after them (got mine second hand from him) and he did me a great deal on an upgrade when mine finally kicked the bucket (~700 for a Breville Oracle). I didnt need the upgrade but for that price it was worth it to me. (He also lent me the machine for ~1 month while he repaired my BDB, charged me nothing for the loan, and didn't charge for anything more than the parts in the repair. To the point where I gave him an extra $50 because he refused to charge me for his time).
I am also in Brisbane. Could you PM me the contact details of the guy? Thanks.

Can I also get your contact please? Thanks
I don't have a current insurance with racv, but I am still able to use my racv account (I took for road side assistance last year) and got the code. Shared it with the first person in the code sharing thread.
Is commbank yellow a discount code or cashback?
cashback
And 7% Shopback!
Any deals on the white version? Wife would kill me if i bring stainless steel into her kitchen 😂
Would goodguys etc price match a screenshot of the checkout price?
I tried to get JB Hi Fi to price match, and they won't price match the coupon code price, only the already discounted price on the website
Damn! Thanks for trying mate
I got one for $1k from Bing Lee (including $200 in Shopback cashback) a couple of weeks back. Having seen them both in person, I'd pay the extra for white if you care at all about aesthetics.
Tempting!
got one, thanks OP! cracker deal
how do you do the yello thing? I can't find the deal on my app…. :(
It's targeted unfortunately..
That explains it! Thanks. I thought I was looking in the wrong section.
Ok so silly question maybe but am I wrong in thinking that joining RACV for $55, and then getting the 20% off is the right play here?
Get the bicycle insurance, much cheaper.
Use code Bike_50 for 50% off that policy.
Think you could do it monthly with bicycle insurance below and cancel it afterwards?
Haven't tried it personally
Does this work? Can anyone confirm? Haha
Ok, for those curious I can confirm this works. What I did was created a plan with bicycle insurance on a monthly payment. Using the code Bike_50 I was able to get it for ~$2.50. Create an RACV account and then use your membership number to get the code. Finally cancel your plan. So the code effectively cost $2.50. Worth it in my opinion, hope this helps someone else keen on getting one.
This is a great price.
I originally got a BES920 back around 2012. I had that repaired/serviced once.
Then I got a BES920 in 2022 for $999. I had it serviced just recently - leaking steam internally.
Both machines have been wonderful.
Get a good grinder. I have a Eureka Mignon Specialita 55 - it's great, and a lot quieter than the Sunbeam grinder and two Breville Smart Grinders I had previously.
any idea why it's not showing up for cba yellow? ) :
You're not targeted. I wasn't but my wife was.
Awesome deal! MY machine is still going strong after 10 years…
Is the Yello a code or a link?
it's a cashback on your card, like amex
Can I please get a spare code if anyone have one
Apply a bike membership, pay by monthly, coupon code BIKE_50, now you just pay under $2.50, cancel it next month.
I have just bought the stainless steel one. My wife is not impressed with the colour. Is anyone interested in a swap for a white one or black. Im in melbourne, it was shipped this morning. Send me a message to see if we can work something out
Hi, can't seem to DM you regarding this. Can you pls message me
Great deal.
But there's no way this price is "close to an ATL".
For example:
Breville BES920 Dual Boiler Binglee $639 Click and Collect @ Bing Lee on eBay
why the downvotes?
ATL on the updated version which has only been around circa 2022/23
Thanks for sharing the info.
I just checked CoffeeSnobs, and it is indeed an updated version with improved reliability since mid 22. Was wondering whether the new version still support the Slayer mod?
It should do, it's just by rerouting the hot water control to syphon off pressure.
The new model is just in the fittings on the boiler
For those who have ordered, what Beanz coffee beans did you get for free with your order?
didn't realise i could change the preference so it gave me a dark one :( https://redbrick.coffee/products/dark-coffee

I havent heard about steam boiler seal problems since they made the latest changes
https://coffeesnobs.com.au/forum/equipment/brewing-equipment…
This is info on those changes made
I cant recall in that thread or if it was somewhere else and it was mentioned that all though the O rings being removed is a positive it has made repairs more expensive if it does fail.
