Machine Overview

Machine 1, the Breville Dual Boiler, is priced at $1599.95 and is designed for intermediate users, while Machine 2, the Breville Bambino Plus, is more affordable at $499.95 and caters to beginners. Both machines are semi-automatic, but the target audience differs significantly based on skill level.

Brewing Comparison

In terms of brewing information, the Dual Boiler features a dual boiler heating system, with a heat-up time ranging from 5 to 15 minutes and a water reservoir capacity of 2.5 liters. In contrast, the Bambino Plus uses a thermoblock heating element, boasts a quick heat-up time of less than 5 minutes, and has a smaller water reservoir capacity of 1.9 liters. The pump type for both machines is vibration, while the Dual Boiler has a brew boiler capacity of 0.3 liters, which is not present in the Bambino Plus.

Features Comparison

When comparing features, the Dual Boiler includes a variety of advanced functionalities such as PID control, pre-infusion, and concurrent brew steam capabilities, as well as a boiler pressure gauge. The Bambino Plus has a simpler feature set, offering only PID control and pre-infusion, but lacks a boiler pressure gauge and hot water option. Both machines have an automatic shutoff feature, yet the Dual Boiler provides more comprehensive controls and information tools for experienced users.
