We even just went through 2kg of Aldi Columbian beans. They're not bad but not great - it's $22 coffee lad - same as this stuff. There is a…

Its a blend so depending per season it will change

Not for this coffee it's extremely low quality. My cafe is $40 a kg everyday and they'll be making a sweet sweet profit off that. At $24…

We all ran to squire. Better quality.

Probably won't take long for an emulator which you can install on a windows variant of these handhelds. You can't on steam deck afaik.

This handheld space seems to be moving so quick! They're really gaining momentum this year. Especially as the switch 2 is so close in price…

It truly feels like the 2022 models are the same as 23 and 24 and 25....

Lol could get a s25 ultra for $500 the other day with trade in of old phone... This can't be a good deal. It feels like a new phone hasn't…

They cause feet deformities. There is an art to making shoes which is why toddlers can't wear a real sole. You sir just caused your son…

That's what a good grinder does it grinds particles in uniformity to prevent channeling that's why a good grinder is the most important…

Yep... Absolute waste of money. Depending on your grinder you may want a dosage ring to prevent spills but they're $19 from Amazon. Id buy…

Don't bother... You're going to regret it a lot. Looks great on video but dialling in, perfecting the tamp etc you'll pull your hair out.…

I totally agree. Even independent cafes don't service their machines enough. The debate remains the same though. Do you buy a European…

Tried buying kids shoes? Lol $139 for a shoe 1/5th of mens.

Thank you. I only pre ordered the base console but already paid $69 deposit to secure pre order.

EB games better start price matching one of these deals or I'm cancelling lol

I swear the BES900 had more power than the bes920. They also reduced the milk jug size to compensate from 600ml to 300ml.

The old hx machines weren't very good apparently but these days they're solid. Unless you're making 4 milk based drinks in very short…

They're good machines but definitely do all seals once a year. YouTube it and master the machine inside. Biggest thing I like is I can now…

For commodity coffee where they're probably using beans at $8 a kg. Most are $8-$8.50 now for a small coffee but nut milks and stuff will…

I have recently upgraded grinder to Mignon Libra which doses by weight. It's accurate down to .02g which is very impressive. It's a good…

Went with the profitec pro 500 with upgrades - wood kit, shower screen, new portafilters, ims baskets etc. was $3600

See you had the same issue as me.. mine was 4 years old though and never serviced prior. It's the same history with these machines, steam…

Even through a dodgy independent repair place they want $100 as a diag fee which goes towards repairs and if you don't go ahead with…

These are authorised Breville centres. I believe service sphere and the others have a holding deposit of $600+. These are engineers which…

I tried with mine. Labour rates are a killer now. Use to be about $300 a service but not anymore. $300 was going back to 2016. One person…

I thought the same as you having ran two BDBs since 2010... Then I took the plunge but I appreciate coffee. Many people don't have coffee…

BDBs fail after 4 years if not serviced regularly. Steam seals need replacing regularly otherwise they'll leak. Very risky touching these…

It's the same thing with the BDB. Steam hose leaks from the steamer, steam eventually gets into the PCB board which is directly above it…

Abu Rayrex, Veritas, Raider. These would be the best bang for buck under $200. Above that would be a TD Black, Zodias, Millerods, Zenaq…
