I walked into JB Hifi the other day and found out the manufacturer is restricting the BES920, he walked me through what each code meant in...

Walking into a store then asking for your money back, is there something I'm missing?

Highly doubt it at that price, no mention of heating method at all in the specifications

Last year the smart grinder pro could be had for under $200, seems the sales are very seldom now

The lower end Sunbeams cheap out on the group handle, it's aluminium. It is bad for thermal stability

The way the bambino plus works is you need to set the jug down on the drip tray, it does not swirl at all but it has two definitive 'modes'...

The overflow system in the Breville would do that, I don't think the EM6910 has that

This just sounds like an integrated grinder version of the bambino plus, as what you've described are most of the features of it. The only...

Paudius replied to 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'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

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...

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

Paudius replied to 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
