Hi, great video. I’ve got a barista pro with ims baskets and a niche zero. I drink mainly espresso 1-2 a day. I’m wondering if it’s worth the upgrade to the bdb… Is there much difference in cup quality between the the two? Also thinking of trying out the df64.. A street would be very much appreciated.
@@DylansHomeEspressoBar We have the Oracle and are newbies. Trying to understand all the variables like PH of the water, freshness of the beans, grind size, pre-warming the portafilter…and how all this impacts the quality/quantity of the shot. Not to mention cleaning, tamp pressure and I’m thinking a bunch of other things lol. So much to really understand. We are getting there as it’s so worth it! I’m exited for your upcoming videos as we need help putting it all together 🙏🏼 My husband really likes watching your videos too. Always nice when I have the husband on board 😅
Hi Dylan, i have just purchased the Breville Dual Boiler after having the Breville Barista Pro. I also purchased the DF64 grinder. I am wanting to purchase a really nice bottomless portafilter do you have any suggestions? I wanted the Harold from St Anthony but not sure if it is compatible. Any suggestions please.?
Thank you for bringing more love to the BDB! Id love for you to talk more about the pressure gauge and how it shows the pressure at the group instead of at the pump like most machines do. I think it is a regular topic of frustration for alot if beginners using the BDB thinking they should see the pressure stay steady and not come down on it. For example, show different examples of how different non dialed in and close to dialed in shots look on the gauge vs perfectly dialed in etc. Just an idea! Keep up the good work! Cheers!
I've owned a BBE, BDB BES 900/920, linea classic, GS3 AV, and fracino contempo dual fuel machine and my favourite is the BDB BES 920. Has all of the features you need and for the price it can't be beat. Support is great and there's plenty of DIY mods/instructions out there for it. My one is even able to be turned on via Alexa because the autostart doesn't work for me but you can do those sorts of things because it's not a $10000 machine.
I am one year into owning a BDB and it's flawless. I'm sometimes tempted already to "upgrade," but it's difficult to justify as in terms of value for money, the BDB has to be near the top. Did have an issue with some leakage around the group head, but Breville Taiwan had the unit picked up from my home, serviced, and back while I was on vacation. Can't complain about that and the issue was pretty much wear and tear due to my heavy use of this kitchen beast.
Completely agree! I’ve had my BDB for 8 years and continue to love it. I’ve contemplated upgrading to the La Marzocco Linea Mini or GS3/MP, but continue to ask myself, ‘Why?’ This machine does SO much of what other machines do… often more. I’ve done the Slayer mod to the machine, giving me full flow control as well. Over the years I’ve replaced a number of parts: the solenoid valve, the steam valve, several gaskets, the shower screen, and most recently the pump. It’s such a pleasure to be so intimate with the machine and to see it continuing to serve me well. The only complaint over all these years is the sound of the pump. :)
Bought one at Christmas for myself and so far i love it. I too have adhd so all the variables can be overwhelming at times learning. Thank you for your insight! Can you please let us know a good bottomless portafilter for the bdb? Thank you
Got mine 5 months ago and noticed while cleaning under the shower screen that group head coating already peeling off. Breville customer service said that’s normal which I doubt. Normal as it happens frequently or normal as intended? Kind a disappointed for $1600 mashine!!!
Hi Dylan, I've been a follower since nearly the start. I also hope that this BDB will be my next machine. Right now I have a Breville Duo Temp Pro which i actually used for a pop up "cafe" actually which probably wasn't the best idea with this machine. But I have a question for you. Is the BDB's steam wand insulated or like are the new ones insulated? cause i've heard mixed results from different people. some say yes some say no. Thanks.
Wow! Love it! I hope you and Barista Brittany had a wonderful blessed Christmas. And you’re fur babies. 🙏🤎

I just got mine last Thurs. So far so good! I love how it takes me literally half the time to brew and steam than it did on my Barista Express.
I absolutely love it 😊

Look forward to more videos. Good explanation. I just got my machine this week.
Hey Dylan when are you going to do the video on how to get the steam back in the dual boiler after the scaling

What do you think of the Rancilio Silvia Pro X dual boiler ?
I would still choose the Breville but I think it has a good potential!!

Mine lasted 1 year before it started messing up big time.
