Breville Dynamic Duo BEP920

Great machine quick to heat up and great coffee when you get the grind adjusted just right. Only issue is longevity, our previous one died after 6 years and not worth fixing.

We have had nothing but problems. We have taken it to the repair 3x since owning the machine. Once within the 2 year warranty & twice after. After 4 years the mother board has packed it & we have been quoted over $500 to fix it. We stated our case to Breville that an expensive machine shouldn't have failed so majorly & to at least pay for the parts to repair but they said no. Never again!

Ok so its been over 8 years with this machine and I thought it be worth writing a review.
This machine absolutely exceeds any expectations when it comes to a Duel boiler and grinder package.
Was looking at getting a lamazaco unit when this fails but sadly, it still is steaming along.
Ones you get your grind right there is no stopping this machine for an everyday brew.
Definitely not a commercial machine but have had groups of people over and can easily serve as many as you want being a duel boiler and all.

I recommend this to anyone who are prepared spending over 4K on a singe machine. Honestly you wont waste your money on this.

I bought this machine as I was looking for a semi automatic machine that could accurately extract coffee in terms of quantity and temperature and froth milk with texture akin to what you would get at a cafe. Overall, the Breville Dynamic Duo has lived up to my expectations.

After some tinkering with the grinder dose (which depends on the freshness of the beans I bought), I was able to accurately and consistently extract coffee at 9 bars which is what typically occurs at a cafe.

I am very satisfied with the consistent temperature of the coffe

In January we purchased this machine from Harvey Norman in Thomastown as a home coffee machine to make a couple coffee's per day. From initial purchase I was disappointed with the consistency of the coffee being made by the machine. Despite the grinder and machine being kept at constant settings the volume of coffee greatly varied with each pour. After a month and a halve of trialling we took back the machine to the store for a refund. They told us we were out of the refund period and needed to sent it away for assessment. They sent it to an in

Bought one in December 2016, repaired under warranty, the crashed in December 2019, liked the machine so bought another in December 2019, crashed under warranty after 15 months. Trying to get through to Breville is a joke and there response is waining in any form of customer service. Have now handed it over to Harvey Norman to handle. Been in for over 4 weeks now to be fixed...Is this normal.... NOPE. Done with any breville product. if you happy to spend the money for ok coffee for about 2 years of service from this machine, buy at your own risk.

This machine is magic. It brings out all the mellow subtle flavours in the coffee. I have the smaller one (BES 870?) too and the difference from the same beans and water is noticeable. They are both good machines, but the dual boiler is outstanding.

After owning two Brevilles BES900 and a BES920 which I gave both away after a couple of years I decided to get a serious machine a Rocket Giotto. This is as good as cafe quality coffee that pumps out a seriously awesome coffee. Don’t waste your money at a machine you buy at an appliance store.

Have really enjoyed having this machine, it makes excellent coffee and has pride of place in our kitchen, along with its companion coffee grinder. However, it’s now leaking a little which is a cause for concern with a marble bench top. It recently prompted a descale, which was performed according to the instructions. The prompt continued to appear, so it was descaled again, and again. It has continued to ask to be descaled even though I have now performed five recent descalings. When I first descaled the machine, the descale prompt remained for

Having owned, used and now replaced my Dynamic Duo I thought that I would update my earlier review.
Features: Breville have done a great job with the design of the Duo - double boiler, PID temperature controller, heated group head (not E61 though), pre-infusion, shot timer etc. It comes with a good tamper and the levelling tool is great when you are getting used to the machine. The control panel generates alerts when cleaning is required and the pressure gauge helps getting the grind and tamping just right. Settings such as shot time, pre-infu

On our second unit now. First unit lasted years and then began to drip. I think a small o-ring leak up top directed steam onto the 2 main circuit boards. I have since repaired and use as a spare machine. Didnt really look after the first one but still lasted years and did a few 1000 cups!
Because this first unit was so good I replaced with the current model. Must say the new unit seems a little noiser but knocks out an awesome coffee. Smart Grinder is brilliant.

I first bought one of these machines from the Good Guys (with a 5-year extended warranty through their Concierge program) in 2016 - and loved it. Simple to use, excellent coffee every time. Liked it so much that we bought a second one for our beach house. The first machine had it's first major problem after ~2 years. Close to $1000 in parts and labour - but covered under the warranty without hassle.

This kept it going for another couple of years - until we encountered a similar problem in January of this year. Took it for repair - after many e
