The grinder has improved my home made coffee. It allows me to precisely control the fineness of the grind as well as the amount, getting a consistent result every time. The controls allow very fine adjustment to change the quantity as well as how tight the grind is. The bottom tray removes so you can wash it out easily.

The Breville is a fantastic buy is has all the bells and whistles you need for great coffee at home. The grinder is perfect for semi automated grind and amount. This is a great combo that's making its way into the top home coffee machines, I have had it now for over a year and is still making great shots!

I am happy with the taste of the coffee. It is easy to use and you should to buy filters to clean it up when it says you should clean me. I bought a red one. It looks so beautiful. You should buy it with the grander. It matches well.

I've been making my own espresso coffee for many years now after doing a barista training course. Last year my sunbeam em6910 died and I replaced it with the breville dynamic duo. It is better in every way. Better pour, much better milk texturing and a lot quieter for when you don't want to wake up the family (although still fairly loud but the sunbeam was very loud)
It hasn't missed a beat and has been very easy to clean and maintain. I would replace it with the same if I ever needed to

Very happy with the dynamic duo although they take up a fair bit of bench space. I was a little worried about operating the machine as it is my first manual machine, however found with a little trial and error I was able to master coffee to my taste relatively quickly! I haven't quite mastered the microfoam on milk texturing but I think I am getting close! The machine is really well made, very solid and all components feel like a premium level product.

I have today purchased my first coffee machine for $1,300.00 and I unpacked it with pride only to discover that the steam wand doesn't even work. Then i find this site and other people have had the exact same problem. When you turn it on all it does is beep at you.
Why would Breville continue to sell a machine that continually doesn't work. Now I have to pack it all back up into the box and lug it back to the store and get my money back. I zhould have bought the Delongi!!
I will never ever buy another Breville product.

I upgraded to a bes920 from a bes900. The 900 had a couple of small issues like the handle falling out during extraction and the puck sticking to the shower screen, and its good to see Breville has fixed these issues for the 920. These are great coffee machines with all the features of much more expensive machines. Some tend to turn their nose up at these 'domestic appliance' brands, but I certainly can't complain about my 920. Its a great machine that makes great coffee, as long as you have a good grinder and fresh beans.
