I recently upgraded to the Breville Dual Boiler after using a no-brand no-name espresso machine for the longest time. The "espresso" drawn was always watery and weak - more akin to a long black or an americano than an espresso. The coffee pucks had evidence of channeling - it seemed like large sections of it were untouched by water. The build quality was plastic, and the steam wand was dodgy.In comparison, the Breville dual boiler draws great shots straight out of the box. The espresso is always explosive in flavour, and the ability to steam milk concurrently is a quality of life change I never knew I needed. The box comes with a variety of quality-feeling add-ons, and the machine itself is very solidly built.

I purchased my Dual Boiler in 2012 - nearly ten years ago! My original machine gave me eight years of trouble-free service, and when it did have an issue in early 2020 and I sent it in for Breville's flat-rate service, they sent me back a BRAND NEW updated model at zero extra charge. Big, big kudos to Breville, I am an absolutely devoted customer.About the machine: What can I say other than solid and consistent, and perhaps even perfect? I did a lot of research before purchasing the Dual Boiler and selected it for its combination of quality, technology and user control. I particularly did not want a fully automated machine or a pod-based machine (heaven forbid!). I wanted the freedom to either let the machine do its job with a single button push, OR to do a fully ... MoreI purchased my Dual Boiler in 2012 - nearly ten years ago!

I wanted the freedom to either let the machine do its job with a single button push, OR to do a fully manual brew and adjust anything I wanted. I also wanted a machine with a portafilter, meaning I choose the beans and I control the grind. The Dual Boiler fit the bill perfectly.I especially like the updates with the latest version of the Dual Boiler, most specifically with (what I assume is) a proper feedback control system for the pump now. In the original model, the pump was unmodulated and was either "on" or "off". If your grind was too fine, the pump wouldn't slow down, but instead the pump would stay on at full blast and an overpressure valve would open up at 12 bar shooting water into the undertray. Likewise if your grind was too coarse you'd end up under proper pressure for the entire brew.With the new machine, I can see the pressure being modulated during the brew - the machine is trying to maintain pressure in the correct band. It'll slow down or speed up the pump a little as needed to stay in the sweet spot on the brew pressure.That detail aside, the Dual Boiler has been a sleek and solid daily performer for nearly ten years now. Once you get "dialed in" it is extremely consistent day in and day out. It looks great in the kitchen. And, in perhaps the ultimate compliment to the Breville, friends who have tried its espresso or latte all can't wait to visit again... JUST FOR THE COFFEE!! Not for me, apparently. LOL!!!

My journey to coffee obsession started with a Breville Ikon bought second-hand many years ago. Who knew that from that trusty Ikon I’d embark on a journey of increasing passion and quality through machines including the Barista Express, and subsequently the Dual Boiler (in BES900 and BES920 iterations!).I ventured into European machine territory (briefly!), but soon found that for all its shiny stainless steel and prestige, the Europeans just didn’t have the “little things” - easily taken for granted, but proven to be the big things in day to day practicalities.Having the machine wake up before I do, controlling the temp for my shots, and even something as easily overlooked as the generously sized drip tray! And it pulls great shots, too!It all adds up to me ... MoreMy journey to coffee obsession started with a Breville Ikon bought second-hand many years ago.

I remember the day I decided to buy my Breville Dual Boiler Espresso Machine like it was yesterday. As a coffee enthusiast, I had always dreamed of having my own espresso machine, and after months of saving, I finally made it happen.When I first used it, I was blown away by the delicious and perfectly brewed coffee it produced. I couldn't wait to experiment with different beans and brewing methods, and before long, I was impressing my friends and family with my newfound coffee-making skills.Each morning, I looked forward to making my first cup of coffee with my trusty Breville.

It's not just a machine, it's a part of my story.
This machine was an upgrade for me. I’d been using the Duo Temp, which is a great machine, but I finally needed more. After salivating over this machine for over a year, I pulled the plug and ordered my shiny new Breville Dual Boiler.I’ll start by saying, I’m not a fan of machines with the bean grinder built in, I want more control over the grind, and like having a separate machine for that specific action. I also love the option to explore any grinder I choose to use with my wonderful Dual Boiler machine. At this point, I’m using the Breville Smart Grinder Pro, I love the results thus far.The Dual Boiler is everything I could have asked for in a wish list, it does it all.

At this point, I’m using the Breville Smart Grinder Pro, I love the results thus far.The Dual Boiler is everything I could have asked for in a wish list, it does it all. This machine was very well thought out. Naturally, the first big win is a dual boiler, giving me the ability to froth milk while making my espresso shots. While this may seem simple, it saves a lot of time. I oftentimes find myself making 4-5 drinks for my daughter’s friends. With the ability to steam milk and make shots at the same time, I’m serving drinks as fast as any barista could. Also, I love that my milk steaming is now controlled with the wand on the right side of the machine, it feels very nice, and yields great results.The milk steams twice as fast as my old machine, its amazing! This is also major, since its speeds up the process when making multiple drinks. I love that I can add water from the front of the machine, I also love the hot water dispenser, my old machine had this, but the water came from the milk steam wand, and it was not as fast or effective. The Dual Boiler has a hot water dial on the left side of the machine, and it works great and fast. The water dispenser is also larger, so you need not add water as often. Speaking or larger, I must mention the drip tray is much larger than what I’m used to, so you don’t need to dump water after every couple drinks. This also works well when flush my filters since I have more room in the drop tray.There a preset button for one or two shots, but you can use the manual feature which is what I use. I have not yet gotten into the advanced settings since I’ve had the machine for only a couple weeks, but I can honestly say this is the most fun I’ve ever had with coffee. I am creating incredible tasting beverages with ease in my home with this machine. I believe that to produce great results, you must have great tools, this machine is everything I could wish for. Bravo Breville.
I must confess, I'm a coffee snob. I recently house-sat for a relative who had a Breville Dual Boiler. I looked down my nose at it. However, in no time I was a convert. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the coffee it produced and also by the espresso machine's thoughtful and practical features. When my old, glossy, stainless steel espresso machine finally died after many years of service, instead of replacing it with an Italian model, I chose a Breville Dual Boiler. Paired with the Smart Grinder Pro, it is producing coffee the equal to top-end cafes. Superb taste, a lovely crema, reproducable every time. My household consists of black and white coffee drinkers and all are happy with the results. The Dual Boiler's features that I like are the natty little ... MoreI must confess, I'm a coffee snob.

The Dual Boiler's features that I like are the natty little place to store the coffee tamper, the LCD screen telling me the temperature, the water gauge so I don't inadvertently run out of water, the pre-infusion, the ability to use it both manually or as a preset 1 or 2 cup dose and the easy-to-use milk frother. I am very pleased with the purchase. But I'm still a coffee snob!
I love this machine for the number of features, the price, and the form function. There are many things that make it near perfect - the pressure and temperature gauge, the wheel in the undercarriage that allows it to be easily moved, the double boiler and pre-infusion of the portafilter, the front access to the water dispenser, the front water gauge, the ease of cleaning, the cleaning reminders, and most of all the quality of the shots.And yet, this is the third machine I've gone through because the interior seals appear to fail pretty regularly. Usually within a year of purchase, the water dispenser and steamer start to drip pretty regularly and condensation begins to bead in the both the LED temperature and pressure gauges.

First, I am very happy with the quality of espresso and the level of control this machine offers me. I upgraded from my 5 year old Breville Barista Express (lovely machine which is outstanding in its price segment). I absolutely love the Dual Boiler (even though our household only drinks black coffee, so steaming is used for guests only and very occasionally). I bought my Breville Dual Boiler about 10 months ago, and after ~6 months of constant use it started leaking. A little at first, but it was getting worse. I contacted Breville, and the warranty repair process was wonderful. Breville sent me a new box with packaging material and pre-paid label, so it was easy to return. In about 2 weeks I got a notice that Breville is shipping me a new replacement machine.

I bought this machine in June 2019. Our friends really like our coffee made with this machine BES920.It has served us well until recently, when the single cup filter started getting stuck when the group head was removed.I replaced the grouphead seal, inner and and outer shower screens , and the grouphead wire spring. The seal was worn and had some damage, but the inner shower screen had a large crack and 3 finer cracks from the centre Allen screw, which caused the single filter cup to get stuck. (Zoom in on photo.)It was easy to remove and replace these parts. The Allen key to remove the parts came with the new machine.I have written this report because I could not find out why the single filter got stuck until the machine cooled down and fell out.

I am a latte enthusiast. I previously owned the Breville Barista Express machine. It gave me some troubles with the grinder. Also, the milk frothing was slow and inconsistent. I read a lot online I was trying to find if the Dual Boiler has a different frothing pump but I could not find an answer to that. I decided to upgrade to the Dual Boiler and I was so impressed with its capabilities. Although it doesn’t have a grinder built in as the Barista Express, it offers many other features and capabilities. Most notably the frothing is MUCH better. It also features auto-start function so that the machine is hot and ready to go in the morning. You can also control extraction and frothing time and temperature. I combined it with Baratza Sette 270 grinder and got results as ... MoreI am a latte enthusiast. I previously owned the Breville Barista Express machine. It gave me some troubles with the grinder.
