Breville love
This espresso machine is by far the best residential machine I have used to date. Easy for the beginner and brilliant for the experienced barista giving pure and consistent shots, extracting the full flavour profile of the bean.

A significant upgrade from the Gaggia Classic
I previously owned a Gaggia Classic and have found the Breville Dual Boiler to be a significant upgrade. The temperature control is excellent, shots are consistently good, and being able to extract espresso and steam milk at the same time makes preparing coffee much quicker. It offers plenty of control while remaining straightforward to use. Very happy with the purchase and would highly recommend it.

Good so far
One really needs more time to give a reasonable review. The item is working as intended and I'm happy with my choice. During the set-up process you can watch a video or read the manual. There is a litmus paper test for water hardness which must be done at the right time. The paper is not clearly marked while being stuck to the front of the manual. I can't go back now. Some parts of the manual are confusing as if it was written by AI.

Awesome machine
This has got to be THE best non-commercial coffee maker around. Mix it with the Breville grinder and you’re all set for professional coffee at home

So good I bought a second one
This is my second Breville Dual Boiler. My first is still going strong more than 10 years later and has now been passed on to my daughter. I think it says a lot about the original design that the model has barely changed in that time. It makes consistently excellent coffee, offers plenty of control, and represents great value for a serious home espresso machine. Very happy to buy the same machine again.

At a glance
The Breville The Dual Boiler is a premium manual coffee machine built for home users who want cafe-style espresso and milk drinks with more control and consistency. Its dual boiler design, PID temperature control and programmable shots make back-to-back coffees easier. It is especially well suited to flat white and cappuccino drinkers. The main limitation is its larger footprint, which may not suit smaller benchtops.
What it’s great for
- Home Espresso
- Milk-Based Coffees
- Back-to-Back Coffee Making
- Latte and Cappuccino Preparation
- Coffee Enthusiast Use
Where it works best
- Home Kitchen
- Medium to Large Benchtops
- Entertaining at Home
- Shared Household Use
Who it’s for
- Home Barista
- Flat White Drinker
- Cappuccino Lover
- Espresso Enthusiast
- Multi-Coffee Household
Things to consider
It offers strong home barista control and milk performance, but its larger size means it is less suited to compact kitchens than smaller single-boiler or thermoblock machines.
Barista experience suitability
High - strong fit for home users who want hands-on espresso making with milk texturing and repeatable control
Ease of cleaning score
7/10 - manageable for regular home use, but a dual boiler machine with steam wand and accessories needs routine cleaning
Beginner friendliness
7/10 - programmable shots and LCD guidance help, though manual espresso technique still takes practice
Counter space suitability
5/10 - better suited to medium or larger benchtops due to its larger body size
Noise level vs category average
About average for a manual espresso machine with pump operation and active steaming
Key benefits
- Dual boiler system: Brew espresso and steam milk at the same time, making flat whites and cappuccinos faster to prepare.
- PID temperature control: Helps maintain stable brewing temperature for more consistent espresso extraction.
- 15 bar pump: Delivers the pressure needed for rich espresso with good crema potential.
- Programmable shot buttons: Makes it easier to repeat preferred shot volumes for everyday use.
- Steam wand for microfoam: Supports smoother textured milk for lattes, cappuccinos and flat whites.
- 2.5 L water tank: Supports frequent coffee making with fewer refills.
- LCD shot timer display: Gives clear brewing feedback to help improve shot timing and consistency.
- Brushed stainless steel exterior: Offers a durable finish that suits modern kitchens and regular use.
Q: Does this machine need a separate grinder to get good results?
A: Yes. This is a manual espresso machine, so consistent results depend on using the right grind size and dose. It suits buyers who want control, but it is not a bean-to-cup model and will not grind beans for you.
Q: Can it make back-to-back flat whites without waiting between steps?
A: Yes. The dual boiler system lets it extract espresso and steam milk at the same time, which helps when making several milk coffees in a row. In a one or two cup routine, the time saving is useful but usually less dramatic.
Q: How hard is the Breville Dual Boiler for beginners to learn?
A: It is approachable, but not automatic. Programmable shot buttons and the LCD make repeatability easier, while grind size, dosing and tamping still shape the result, so first-time users should expect a short dial-in period.
Q: Is the Dual Boiler too large for a small kitchen bench?
A: It is better suited to a medium or larger benchtop than a compact coffee nook. The stainless steel body feels substantial and the machine is easiest to live with when it has dedicated space for the unit, cups and milk steaming.
Q: Does the steam wand start instantly every time you switch on?
A: No. The steam side can take a little longer to reach full temperature than the brew side, even though this machine can brew and steam together once both systems are ready. That matters more if you make milk drinks soon after startup.
Q: Is BES920BSS mainly for milk coffees or straight espresso too?
A: It can do both, but its strongest fit is households making flat whites, cappuccinos and lattes regularly. The dual boiler and microfoam steam wand add most value when milk texturing matters, rather than only pouring black coffee.
Q: Can you make several coffees before refilling the water tank?
A: Yes. BES920BSS has a 2.5L water tank, which suits frequent daily use and cuts down refill stops when making multiple coffees. It is still a tank-fed machine, so heavy use means keeping an eye on the water level.
