Machine Overview

The Breville Dual Boiler is priced at $1599.95, catering to intermediate skill level users who are looking for a capable semi-automatic machine. In contrast, the Bezzera DUO MN has a higher price point of $2969 and is designed for advanced users, indicating a more sophisticated espresso-making experience. Both machines are semi-automatic, reflecting a level of user involvement in the brewing process. The differing prices and target skill levels suggest that while both machines are high quality, they serve distinct audiences.

Brewing Comparison

In terms of brewing information, the Breville Dual Boiler employs a button activation system, features a stainless steel boiler, and has a brew boiler capacity of 0.3 liters. Its heat-up time ranges from 5 to 15 minutes and it utilizes a vibration pump. Conversely, the Bezzera DUO MN operates via lever activation and has a copper boiler with a larger brew boiler capacity of 0.4 liters. Its heat-up time is longer, varying between 15 to 30 minutes, and it is equipped with a rotary pump.

Features Comparison

When examining key features, the Breville Dual Boiler includes auto shutoff, dual PID control, pre-infusion, and a shot timer, but lacks flow control and a steam pressure gauge. The Bezzera DUO MN matches many features with the Breville such as auto shutoff, PID control, and pre-infusion, but it also offers flow control and a steam pressure gauge. Both machines provide concurrent brewing and steaming capabilities, enhancing their versatility in espresso preparation. The inclusion of distinct gauges and controls reflects their respective target user levels, with the Bezzera offering more advanced features suited for experienced baristas.
