sunbeam offered me a 30% discount off any product

Have you considered a nice iron?

I read those already but have they tried the Torino in comparison. Also I do like the aesthetics of the Torino. Not the most important but still part of the decision...

Love the Torino. It helps us sell real e-61 machines- the ones that don't end their 3 year lives at the tip.

I'm going to pop down to the cbd tomorrow to see if I can try it.

Not really since my review is up there for the world to see on productreview...nice gesture to try to restore my faith in them is how I see it.

Hush money?

Is the breville the bep920?

The machine is the BES920. The BEP920 is the code for the package (BES920 + Breville Smart Grinder).....AFAIK.

Noidle is a tech, and has pulled both the Torino and (several) BDB's apart. I think he would be as well-informed as anyone in this regard.

Welcome. I think the answer(s) to your question is/are in the posts directly above (#117, #119). For less money, you can get the Breville DB.

Hi guys - I currently have an sunbeam em6910 which I've enjoyed using over the last 6 years. After having a whinge on product review about one of their appliances sunbeam offered me a 30% discount off any product. I was thinking about buying the Torino with this which takes it down to $1399. At this price it seems ok. I am not well versed in other dual boiler machines and this is the top of my budget. Are there alternatives that are better at this price including grinder? I am a former cafe owner but have only used domestic machines for last 10 years. Any advice would be appreciated. I'm based in Sydney so would like to test any machines mentioned. Thanks!

I can't imagine how this machine will ever appeal to any other than poorly informed people with too much money to spend.

It's Lelit Dual boiler money, close on Domobar Junior money or if you insist on appliances, it will go close to buying 2 x BDB (including a spare for when the primary one is in service.)

My call? I reckon the torino will either be discounted sustantially (My guess cafe series $$) or it will flop.

i was "sucked in" By Kitchen Aid (6 year ago) with their dual boiler machine. It was an expensive nightmare, only bearable because of excellent product back up.

When you no have practical experience and "in knowledge" to judge a product , you decide on looks and price.

You do your dough , only once !

The machine had been on the shelf at the retailer for around 1.5 months when I bought it and it was the first one that they had sold so as we suspected, the price is just too high.
