admin

Hi David - welcome to the forum & thanks for the update ... can't wait to see the real thing.

Hi Guys - for those of us intrigued by the new machine from Breville it's been an interesting exercise trying to determine what was is fact and what is just wild rumour and guessing concerning the specs. In other places there has been a frenzy of leaks and guessing but I thought it might be a good opportunity to summarise what is actually known so far. (As confirmed by Dave from Breville) Outside it will: 1. Have a brushed Stainless Steel exterior 2. Have 2 PID controllers 3. Have a water guage 4. Have a pressure guage 5. Have an Actively Heated Group Head 6. Have a SS Filter Holder Inside it will: 1. Have twin stainless steel boilers 2. Have an Italian vibe pump 3. Have OPV (Over pressure Valve) 4. Have Built In Power on Timer 5. Have a 1800W Element We also know it won

Is it just me or has anyone else noticed that info on this shiny new toy has dried up somewhat... even on that other forum? Could this possibly hint at troubles in paradise or even a delay in the product launch? And speaking of things drying up... somewhat off topic I know... but I have definitely noticed a change at that other site as well... with the vast migration of key contributors to this forum the flow of information over there seems to be slowing down as well

On topic....I don't think the info has dried up...I just think that there's nothing left to give away. I've said it before and I'll say it again - I don't care what the specs are. Reliability FIRST, specs second. Won't know the real answer to that question until at least a few months after it's released. Until then, I won't recommend it to anyone.

I'm waiting to see if anyone's sprung leaking information from the SCAA, surely they wouldn't 🙂

The best test is a hidden camera test Give the product away and observe through hidden camera footage an inexperienced user destroy or master the product Even we in the know sometimes look through rose coloured glasses KK

Kick it to me 😃 We'll either master it or make it better 😃

We're still on time guys. And lucky enough to get a kick on steam performance at this late stage thanks to a minor tweak. All good. No legal issues to be concerned about.

Hi Guys, For those of you who have been eargerly awaiting news of the new machine by Breville. It is being released at the SCAA show in Houston on the 28th. Mark Prince (Coffeegeek) has promised to send us some pics so stay tuned for an exclusive CREMA forum scoop! ;D Matt Shuttle Control

I'm pretty sure rob the designer is meeting mark today and already showed it to one of marks key guys at SCAA last week as it's popped up on his thread. Touch wood, everyones respected the NDA so far, despite us giving away almost everything.

Apparently Rob gave Mark some "great insights into the Australian espresso market" Would have loved to have been a fly on the wall at that discussion 🙂

No mate, That looks like the Fresca with the built in grinder. Apparently the new one won't have a grinder in it.

That's the problem I have, is the noise, the initial videos weren't so loud, I don't know whether that was just due to the microphone. I'll have to wait and see in the flesh before I make up my mind.

I close my eyes and hear a Sunbeam or any other Vibe pump machine. They forgot to turn the mike down...... Regardless of marketing, I will reserve any comments until I see and play with one in the flesh and it has been in use for >6 months.

yep, sounds a bit like a Sunbeam to me, but beautiful-looking unit... guess the proof of the pudding will be in the eating. Either way, looks like the Breville marketing team have got the Apple 'social media' thing working well - "top secret, but make sure everyone knows about it" dR 😉

Sure is a wide machine. Much bigger than your DCM with dual boilers. They are still in hype mode AM. Give it 6 months and you'll be able to see if it will last the test of time and overdosing! 🙂 I still think $1500 is far too expensive, but there seems to be a stack of people considering it over a quality italian brass copper machine. Resale values will be the most interesting point...
