I am super passionate about coffee and educating people on all aspects of this amazing drink. I love bringing the stories back from the other side of the world about how they grow and process the coffee differently on each farm, in each region, and in each country. I also love helping baristas around the world make better coffee for themselves, whether they're at home, professional, competitors and or even just venturing out into the wide world of coffee.

I fitted a PID to my classic evo Pro two weeks ago, and I can't speak highly enough of this machine. Streaks above my old breville dual boiler

@theoreticalapproach5666 7 ай бұрын

For anyone based in Australia, I recommend to buy Breville dual boiler when they are on promotion at A$1000 level, which is quite often and is till going on some big retailers and forget about anything else until it breaks. I don't really understand their pricing strategy for different countries haha. I wish I have kept it before leaving Austraila! Only downside I can find is that the size can be a little bit wide for some kitchen. In terms of customizability for shots, I don't think there is a comparable machine unless you go for DE level machine.

The Gaggia looks like an excellent machine, specially with the Gagguino mods that can take even the old Gaggia Classic's and turn them into something a lot more like a Decent. That's incredible potential for an espresso machine that can be found second hand for less than $500.

Another great video covering the entry level machines. The Breville DBD is definitely the smart choice in Australia. I know plenty of people who have had theirs for upwards of 10yrs with regular cleaning & filters. Sure the O-rings need replacement every three years but otherwise are very durable. The biggest drawback is that they are quite a big machine if you want to keep it in the kitchen…

Great review. My nespresso pod machine just died (steam wand still working). Currently using the steam wand with my Picopresso. For me the Bambino plus would be better than the base model as my wife would be absolutely against learning to manually steam milk. Whatever I get would have to have an auto milk steaming function uneforetunately. The Turin Legato does pique my interest though, looking forward to seeing your review on it if you do end up getting your hands on one.

Hello! Thank you for your review. I’m in fact looking to purchase a new coffee machine to replace my delonghi (broken as expected). Wondering if you had also looked into gaggia’s expresso models which come with PID and pre infusion? Would you still think the classic model is still a better choice?

About the GAGGIA I heard in a video that the upgrade was the portafilter, i dont know if the material or what, and for the USA machine they ad a spring to get a stable 9 bars.

Hey Ricky! No they didn't add preinfusion but you can hack it by slightly opening the steam valve as you start your extraction. But you're right about the other stuff, the materials are improved. The temperature is much more stable but not perfect.

The dual thermoblock Sunbeams don't get a lot of attention (probably not available outside Australia the way Breville is). Like you say - fast heat up, PID, steam as you extract, cool-touch manual steam arm and REALLY nice portafilters. Actually really well designed inside - separate compartments with the 2 pumps at the bottom, electronics in the centre (with the water tank almost wrapping around it to keep cool), and the thermoblocks up the top with a lot of thermal mass around the group-head.

I'm looking to buy my first "nicer" espresso machine. I've been using a Starbucks Barista(Saeco) and have a decent burr grinder(better than the espresso machine). What do you prefer about the Gaggia vs the Rancilio? Would you recommend a new Gaggia or used older Rancilio with PID mod and a "tune up" with boiler cleaning, seals, etc? The other machine I'm looking at is the Profitec Go. Have you used it? Budget is ~$1,000. No interest in anything other than 58mm portafilter.

In my opinion, if you enjoy a more traditional shot, you will probably like the pico. If you like more control and better workflow, get the flair. I have the gaggia and the flair 58 and i can tell you that i have loved the espresso that ive gotten from the flair. I find myself almost also choosing the flair over the gaggia now unless i want a flat white. The workflow, the design, the satisfaction all for me make the flair super worth it. Not to mention with the flair and the pressure gauge, you can follow alot of modern espresso recipes and experiment with your own.

It was an easy decision and one that i dont regret. I am completely biased to say flair haha but either or are a great choice. Also flair has a refurbished section on their website for discounted machines

Turin is the house brand of Espresso Outlet here in the US. The exact same unit is being sold elsewhere as the MiiCoffee Apex, Gemilai Espresso, and others. The price is certainly outstanding, as well as the feature set, but I have serious concerns about quality and reliability on what is essentially a rebranded model. In this price range, the Gaggia really is the way to go. It could be a great way to get into home espresso, or it could be the one and only machine you would ever need. And you're right, the mod community are really welcoming and helpful.

@Rydecoffeecoach Ай бұрын

It's a tough one, but it comes down to what you want to get out of it. The Gaggia is fantastic but basic, no frills out of the box. It is perfect if you are the sort of person who wants to tinker and mod and be part of a community of coffee enthusiasts and engineers alike who can help you get the best out of it. The Anna is not as nice looking (IMO) but has a PID which is much easier to pull a shot consistently. However, it's only 57mm group head size whereas standard is 58mm which makes it hard to find accessories (tampers, baskets, showers, puck screens, etc) and means you invest 100s in tools that when you upgrade you'll most likely have to sell them off for next to nothing. If I was choosing I'd go with the Gaggia but it's such a personal decision that only you can make. Good luck! Hope this helps. 🙌👌

Also, the steaming is better and faster on the stock Breville Bambino Plus as it has a 4-hole steam wand and everyone who's done a review, including James Hoffman, has pointed out how amazing the Bambino Plus steams milk. Mother's Day sale drop the price $100 down to $350 USD and I snagged one because it also comes with a stainless steel portafilter, a better tamper and that stock for hole steam wand and on top of it all the ability to do auto milk if I don't have time. There is nothing stopping you from texturing your own milk and it works beautifully because they give you a decent angle to work with even though you only get the one angle.
