Overview

This video shares a personal experience with the Breville Dual Boiler coffee machine after six months of use. The speaker discusses their reasons for purchasing it (a sale price of $1,000 AUD), compares it to their previous entry-level machine (Breville Dual 10 Pro), highlights its features, and reflects on whether it's a necessary purchase for the average home user.

Key takeaways

• The speaker purchased the Breville Dual Boiler for $1,000 AUD during a sale.
• The Dual Boiler felt significantly larger than the Dual 10 Pro and could hold seven cups on top.
• Features the speaker immediately loved included the machine's shape, pressure gauge, and PID control.
• The speaker questions whether a dual boiler machine is necessary for everyone, stating they personally don't make many lattes or multiple shots in a row.
• For those not making numerous milk-based drinks or shots consecutively, investing in a good grinder first is recommended over an expensive dual boiler machine, unless it's on a significant sale.
• The speaker still loves the Dual Boiler due to its features, especially the PID control for easier, faster, and more precise temperature control, and the pressure gauge for better extraction feedback, all acquired at a price comparable to some single boiler machines with similar features.
