Sent our dual broiler back for refurbishment, got a new model. Hope this one works another 7 years! Since the newer model can be descaled it should last longer.
This is my 2nd Breville machine and it has a lot of thoughtful improvements over the last version of the same model. Very happy with the performance and highly recommend to people who want to take their coffee making skills to the next level.
Freaking amazing. I have had the barista express, the oracle, and the dual boiler. This is my favorite. Super customizable, steams fairly quickly. Beautiful.
The dual boiler is reliable for temperature and pressure, something that terribly frustrated me with my entry level espresso machine. I can now spend less time developing workarounds and more time enjoying the taste of different types of espresso coffees.
This is my FOURTH dual boiler. I’m sending in my 3rd one for service as a back up! Love it. For the price it does what I need it to do. I make about 8 espressos and steam milk every day. Every day.
