meistro on Breville The Bambino Silver (BES450BSS) $349 + Delivery (Free Click and Collect) @ The Good Guys

Would be interested to know if these came with both sets of baskets, as the single wall basket has given me alot better quality coffee....

sillyhead on Sunbeam EM4300 Mini Barista Espresso Machine $199 C+C @ Harvey Norman

Because there's two layers of the basket, you need to run a blank shot afterward to flush out the gunk inside. Would also pay to run a...

I did notice the group itself was aluminium, is there a replacement group you can buy from another machine this would fit? I'm presuming...

itstuan on Sunbeam EM5300S Barista Max Espresso Coffee Machine $360 Delivered @ Appliances Online

I've never seen A2 used in a cafe, there might be something in it as the protein is what's meant to break down for froth

I think Breville did put some extra tech into the milk frothing of the Bambino, the milk wand has 4 holes in it and has significant...

Alot better, it's basically the dual boiler with some extra smarts

Even though it looks expensive, this machine is probably the best of both worlds. That's taking into account that you won't use the second...

Hardly Normal on Sunbeam EM5300S Barista Max Espresso Coffee Machine $360 Delivered @ Appliances Online

Lower price means they changed a few things to meet that lower price point, the group is aluminium for one

I am pretty sure I saw one of the EM5300's earlier in the week, it has an aluminium group which if you compare with a chromed one that the...

For anyone interested in the smart grinder pro, it's at the fairly normal price of 199 at JB Hifi -...

The auto frothing is rather nice :)

tomb11 on [Pre Order] Breville The Barista Pro - BES878BSS + Bonus 1kg Coffee via Redemption $803 @ Stan Cash

Must be some design difference, the Bambino has 4 and it steams really quick. Probably the thermoblock design

I paired a smart grinder pro with a cheap bambino earlier this year, good starter kit to get the hang of everything and has alot better...

HunterBargainHunter on Breville Smart Grinder Pro BCG820BSS $189.05 + Delivery (Free C&C) @ The Good Guys eBay

I wouldn't go the second option, it's not in the same league at all. The internals of the coffee machine matters, no matter how good your...

You're comparing two different products, the dual boiler has a 58mm group versus the 54mm group on the barista pro. Having the jet warm up...

Good tips, thanks

Assuming you mean using a decent carbon filter? Or is it something else?

TheContact on Breville BES920BSS The Dual Boiler Espresso Maker $999 Delivered @ Myer

There's quite a bit of difference between the Express and Bambino and this. 54mm Group head versus 58mm, temperature control are two...

Mrinsane on Breville BES500BSS The Bambino Plus Espresso Machine $489 Shipped @ Appliance Online
