Breville Duo-Temp Pro BES810BSS

I bought this back in 2020 and it has been used daily since.

It takes a few attempts to figure out the best grind setting to pull the perfect espresso shot, but once you have it dialled in it produces a very consistent cup. I think this system also has a PID controller to get the extraction temperature just right. And the prefusion feature is great!

Milk frothing is fast and perfect everytime, although like most small machines, the wand is a bit short for my liking.

One more thing, I have the black version. If you're thinking about getting the black versuon you should know it is veneered in plastic and not polished metal, like the standard grey one. In hindsight I would have purchased the grey one as the plastic is starting to scratch.

It a good machine that makes great coffee however the downside is it gets too complicated to clean it. This applies to all Breville Coffee Machines. They make a great hiding home for cockroaches! The bug also loves coffee and nest inside the machine as well. The design to pull apart for cleaning is really a headache. Everytime they make something, they always forget that they also make great homes for bugs as well. Breville designers should make every food machine to be "Easy to Disassemble and Reassemble" I only had it for 2 years. I live in a...

I have owned many coffee machines some have cost many thousands of dollars. But none are as good as this machine. If you put too much pressure or the grind is too fine, and your machine has a timer, you will end up with a small shot of coffee. Not with this little baby, you just let it run longer because you have control over the amount of hot water you are putting through the group head. Milk frothing is a dream, you can turn the handle on the front to the right, to switch to steam, go to the fridge, get the milk out and pour some into a jug, ...

The coffee machine is great and once you figure out the right amount of coffee grounds to put in for your regular coffee it's perfect. Love the steam wand and the maintenance is very easy. Have had it for over a year now and use it 2+ times a day. Very happy with it

The machine is good. It doesn’t take to long to make a coffee. But I just could not get a nice cup that I enjoyed out of it. I tried different brands and tamping . I ended up going to buy a breville capsule machine

This machine is everything you'd hope for for a home coffee experience. Not only it pulls tasty espressos, it is incredibly easy to operate, clean and maintain- which can be a hassle otherwise.

For this price range, it stands head and shoulders above its competition and gets you comparable results compared to top-of-the-line commercial equipment.

The steam wand is relatively ok but a bit slow if you're making a few cappuccinos for your guests. It is also recommended that you preheat the machine to get consistent brewing temperature and consistent espressos.

This machine pours and steams at the correct temperature, it's just like having a professional dual boiler machine. It is super easy to use and easy to clean and maintain.

Got this machine with the pack that came with the grinder 6 years ago and still makes a great coffee. We use nearly twice to three times a day x 2 people. I have thought about upgrading to an all in one machine to save bench space but I can't justify the extra cost and I don't want a pod machine. We find you can't tamp too much or it will struggle to get through, and we usually use the double shot filter, I find the single makes it too watery. Overall love the machine and would purchase again!

My machine has been going strong for 4 years after a run of more expensive machines that died early, and I was thinking of buying one as a housewarming present for my daughter, but I have to admit the coffee is just not that great. Sometimes it does deliver a good cup with lots of crema, but despite having two boilers the water is often too hot and I get a thin watery coffee. Also the coffee can only be very lightly tamped or the pump just won’t push the water through, which is not ideal for good coffee. Regular cleaning of the baskets is essential. The frother is incredibly noisy, so I bought a Nespresso milk frother, and writing this I’ve now convinced myself to buy a different machine as a present to myself.

I've had this machine since Mother's Day and have been thoroughly enjoying it. It's incredibly easy to set up, use & clean.
The milk steamer does output a bit of water before steaming but that's easily avoided by letting it run for a few seconds over the tray.

Im not a coffee snob.

But i like what i like.

This machine makes a good cup of coffee. Its easy to use, fast and easy to clean up. We like it.

I have been wanting to get a coffee machine at home. So because of the lockdown now, I get this one from BigW. This coffee machine is so affordable and do its job so great. Although there is no pressure meter on the machine and not programmable, I can still get good coffee from this machine everyday.

Best buy. The coffee is always good, right taste, right temperature. Easy to clean and descale, and don't have to do it very often. Couldn't be happier with it. Combined it with a grinder as well.

Have always wanted to get a coffee machine, and picked this up at a bargain price from Big W. It’s easy to use, makes great coffee consistently, and has paid for itself now we’re in isolation!

Do you like coffee? The Breville Duo-temp Pro has been on my kitchen bench for about a month now. It replaced a slightly larger Breville machine which was a hand-me-down which gave years of good coffee for both the original owner and for myself. Pros: smaller footprint than the previous machine. Comes with better accessories than previous machine. Makes great coffee. Cons: smaller water tank than previous machine. Machine does move when attaching the handle as it is a bit on the light side. Overall I am very satisfied with this machine.
