Yes I understand that - please take this in the context that I am generally happy withe the product and the price I paid. I'm not unrealistic - it's already been good with some helpful ideas being posted. Its just a shame that the awesome design (I think it looks really cool) blemishes like it has.

Absolutely mate. Valid points on all accounts. Do make sure you let the Breville Customer support know and keep us updated. They've been seemingly very pro-active about helping customers with concerns.

RE Stainless steel panel staining A post for someone that wanted to sell there Breville ( for whatever reason) at a future time If the same applies to an affected BES900 as to how people view a cars condition by external appearance Then conceivably you may need to sell for a lesser price due to looks , but it is mechanically perfect KK

My biggest ongoing gripe is the quality of the stainless finish, with ours having developed oxidisation streaks where it has been wiped with a damp cloth. I cannot remove these blemishes no matter what I use on them.

Hi, First time poster with just a quick chime in. Annoyingly we also had the rust blemishes on our 900 and bcg800 - we had very good success using straight liquid Jif ( that's all we had handy in the cupboard) and a clean cloth. Haven't had any problems since which made me wonder if the blemishes were partially a result of a 'dirty' cloth that I may have used previously when cleaning. If you do consider trying Jif maybe do a small test patch first just in case in case I've given you a bum steer! Good luck.

Re -polishing the Breville Dual Boiler We recently purchased a set of copper cooking pots Well we had major staining & even water spot marks after first use Never fear we have a product that is a familiar name with many, called Brasso This stuff brought the pot up to new with a little elbow grease

I know this wandering slightly off topic, but didn't you have some special polishing routine also?

You mean me ?

Jagenschnitzel - you! :pan Not for the Breville Double Boiler (hence the wandering off topic), I can't imagine they'd be the fingerprint magnet my machine is. 😃

I use a product called Glassplexin to polish my machine Now let's get back on topic KK

D: So what do you recommend... I use something called SHINE from bunnings that is a cutting type polish. I have also used different grades of car cutting compounds to try to get the same rust like blemishes out of some of the SUNBEAM covers. And then used a SS polish to finish. Not perfect but has done the job. The interesting thing is that some covers suffer badly and yet I have seen others that look 110%. So one can only assume SS quality where there is some variance outside the manufacturers spec ??? Doubt Breville or Sunbeam would spec a material to fail so soon, but rather some possible cost cutting at the SS manufacturer or a QC fail on the SS and sub standard material getting in... I would follow up with BREVILLE and see how you go.

Silvo stainless polish works well - followed by a oil impregnated SS polish wipe

Good breakdown pic though :thumb:

All good - I used Autosol metal polish followed by 3M stainless cleaner. Came up awesome - nice, shiny and stain-free again. Thanks for the tips - my main worry was that this sort of approach would give the finish shiny spots and maybe remove the printing - but none of that happened. Back to drinking great coffee !!

And the evidence -

Lovely. I suspect just about all those metal liquid cutting compounds are the same in a different bottle 😃 I think 3M do a oil impregnated wipe also that should keep the shine up. Keep it shiny and the rust cant start. If not, you can get them at bunnings or coles (same thing). Proper job that, well done :thumb: :thumb:

Bit of a late reply, but Yes AM i'm still on for next weekend if you are. I will try and get the blank to you before then though. I'll see how my tuesday or wednesday shapes up. I totally agree that a naked PF for this machine is more toy than tool.

Hey guys - just a quick one: now that we're well over a year past release, I'm interested in conducting a mini-survey as to what sort of 'street' prices the Breville Dual Boiler has come down to, using our combined market knowledge... please can you put down what you know of as the most recent street price? thanks A

I did a quick search for the purpose of the question Billy Guyatts has them for $1198.00 KK

Appliances online have them for 1200ish but they'll match anything and generally will give you free delivery to sweeten the deal.

Muscles

Good guys were doing $1098 and free smart grinder about two weeks ago :pan No bench test there but why would you want one and you are saving around $700 from RRP

Kelsey

That's an incredible deal (any of these prices are!) for a machine with that feature set.
