I'd love to hear your comparison between the Breville Infuser and the Solis Barista Perfetta.
Nice comparison. Was thinking about these two machines. Thank you.
Is there much point other than for decoration on the Solis if it comes with pressurized baskets ? Surely the pressure guage is for checking your pressure in an unpressurized basket to help with your grind setting.
It comes with a single and double open basket, a cleaning basket, a pod basket AND double and single pressurized baskets.
Really enjoyed this video review. Thanks a bunch!
Very nicely done comparison ❤️
There's 3 temperatuere settings and 3 foam settings for the Bambino.
And 7 months before it breaks down.
@@bigglyguy8429 🤣
Great comparison video! I've owned the Bambino (like a lot of ppl) for a year, and already want to upgrade after seeing the new Silvia PRO! :- (
Your Bambino lasted a whole year? Well done! Mine made it to 7 mines and died.
@@bigglyguy8429 Mine is dead after 11 month used. Completely no power, luckily it is still under warranty.
@@BaysviewPg Your Bambino? in a way I'm glad to hear it, as just today was feeling a bit irritated with my Silvia taking so long to heat up. Then I remember how my 'fast to heat up' Bambino was also fast to die.
You guys should make a video on the Eureka Notre vs the Ascaso Imini
Would be cool to see if there is a big difference.
Thank you.
How do these compare to the Crossland cc1?
Interesting. I like the sound of Solis but the reviews on Amazon (Europe) are rather poor🙄, which puts me off. Thoughts?
I stopped to consider Amazon ratings a lot of time ago ;-)
Jokes apart, the suggestion is the same of SGC. If you need for an automatic way to make your coffee, choose Bambino.
In the opposite side, if you want to invest in a new hobby and enjoy with your manuality of brewing coffee, choose for Barista Perfetta.
For the second option, put the pressurized filter baskets into a drawer and forget them and choose for a quality grinder. I think you can find good options int the SCG shop.
I am really drawn between the two. I wouldn’t buy a grinder right now. I have an amazing coffee roaster next door so I get my beans from there weekly and have them ground by them based on how I am brewing.
@@Max-wl5ll thanks for your thought on this!
@@Max-wl5ll Both machines have PID. There's some time confusion about PID and it's meaning especially on coffee machines. It's more important to understand how it's effective on temperature control than PID meaning itself.
@@relarras If you think to taste different coffees from your coffee roaster shop, I recommend the Barista Perfetta. The pressure gauge and the pressurized filter basket are very important to find your own coffee recipe. Hot water will help you to warm up your cups before brewing ;-)
i noticed that on the Solis, she turned the steam dial a little while the coffee was brewing, is that a hack to get the pressure down to 12 bar?
What size portafilter in the Solis?
They're both 54mm
Newbie here.. can you use the hot water on the Solis for an Americano?
Yes. And the Bambino can as well. They keep saying it doesn't but I looked it up and both the Bambino and the Bambino plus which she's comparing here put hot water out through the steam wand by just pressing two buttons on the front of the unit and then pressing any button to stop the hot water flow
How did you get 17g in the Bambino portafilter? If I do more than ~14g it doesn't tamp down enough.
I'm assuming it's the same basket as my 54mm Infuser. I always get 17g in that, no problem
@@mikehall3698 Thanks for responding. I've found my problem is that my grinder doesn't grind fine enough. I tried running my grind through a second grinder just to check and it tamps significantly more. I was hoping to get away with not buying an espresso grinder, but I suppose I'll have to add it to the wishlist.
@@phphoto6901 There you go, I didn't even think about that. Definitely a likely culprit. Hope you enjoy your new system. Personally, I am waiting for delivery of a new Eureka Silenzio
Bambino can preprogrammed pre-infusion time. Programmable brewing time.
The drawbacks of Bambino are: no pressure gauge, no temp control, and no hot water.
Just a note that the Bambino Plus does dispense hot water. In the Breville version it's mentioned in the manual on page 13, in the Sage manual it's not there, but it works all the same, you put your steam wand in your cup, press the froth level adjustment button as well as the 1 cup button at the same time, and it'll start dispensing hot water into the cup.
@@JesusGreenBL i just learnt this today, thank you
@@BaysviewPg Happy to help!
No hot water? Don’t add the basket to the group head and hot water pours forth.
What grinder is that?
I don't recognize it but it is a Eureka from the mignon series. Maybe the Notte? I know they came out with a cheaper entry level smaller flat burr grinder exclusively for espresso and another for coarser ground filter coffee but I wasn't in the market for that. I think that one is called the filtro
Are they both solenoid valve machines ? Do they leave soupy pucks ?
Both have the three-way solenoid valve needed to give you a dry puck.👍
Based on my esperience it's very difficult to have dry puck with pressurized filter basket, while is quite easy with unpressurized one.
Moreover it's easier with double cup filter basket than single cup.
If you are annoyed by typical mess of soupy pucks, consider to use unpressurized double cup filter basket or eventually ESE pods could be a good compromise.
Both are, but the Breville only has pressurized baskets which are always messy.
What is difference between bambino ($299) and bambino plus ($499)?
Just automatic steaming?
Yes. They both break down fast, so not much difference between them.
@@bigglyguy8429 Do you think the Solis breaks down as quickly as the Breville's?
@@sisdl15 I'm afraid I cannot say. I've owned a Delonghi, which is a weak and poor machine but OK for what it is and still works, the Breville which died fast, and now a Rancillio..My advice is buy a real machine, $1000 or so, and then just concentrate on the coffee itself. Cheers
@@bigglyguy8429 Thanks for the feedback. How do you like the Rancilio? I have thought about just getting something like the Silvia or Gaggia Classic Pro.
@@sisdl15 They are both great machines but people tend to modify them to be better. If you just get the Silvia Pro then you've got 2 boilers, built-in PID and no real reason to ever upgrade. Alternatively there are a few others a bit cheaper that should serve you well. On the whole I love my Silvia, my only dislike is the gimped power switch that turns it off after 20 mins (European regs). So I use a WiFi smart switch and turn it on again a few minutes before I wander over to make coffee (or from the car when waiting at the lights near my house on the way home). Note I installed a huge water filter (cheaper than expected) in my garden to filter tap water before it reaches the kitchen, and then I run it through my normal filter still before it reaches the machine. That's probably me being a bit paranoid after my Breville died! I think it's worth it because now I play with different beans, different roasts, different temperatures (within 92 to 95C) and different processes. So a honey-process medium roast Colombian is a different beast from a light-roasted African washed bean. The Silvia just lets me do that, by being consistent without any fuss or messing with the machine. To me the coffee is the hobby, not the machine :)
Correction: Bambino heat up time is only 3 seconds. In between cups is about 13 seconds
Yes, 3s sounds great, but don‘t forget to heat up the entire brewing head and portafilter too by flushing several times.
Emanuel yes, this is what I am doing daily.
Mine was really fast to heat up, and really fast to die. First the buttons became unresponsive, then it stuck in a cleaning cycle, then it started leaking. 7 months from new.
@@bigglyguy8429 oh no. What did you do? I haven't heard about this fault yet!
#BringBackGail
why is she gone
@@BuckingHorse-Bull She retired
Gail is retired
What is portafilter size on Solis?
54
Note: The temp button and red bar on the Bambino is for the temperature of the milk, not PID :)
I think the milk temp is controlled by a PID.
@@Rahl692 The milk temp is controlled by the sensor in the drip tray area. Nothing to do with the machine’s PID.
I guess she just miss said it to describe milk temperature detection.
@David Parker A proportional-integral-derivative controller (PID controller or three-term controller) is a control loop mechanism employing feedback that is widely used in industrial control systems and a variety of other applications requiring continuously modulated control.
So most temp. controlled things are using PID of some sort.
Aren’t breville and solis the same brand?
So the portafilter used by Solis is the same 54mm size as Breville?
Can the two portafilter be used for each other?
Good review.
Gail? Where is Gail?????
Where can I get those cups?
1. Aren't both from the same company, just named differently and with different style/look?
2. Does the Solis have 58mm portafilter?
3. How come the brew was quicker on the Breville with the same fine grind setting? I'd expect it to be as slow
Thanks!
1. No they aren't. Solis is a Swiss company.
2. 54 mm. 2 pressurized filter (1cup and 2 cup), 2 unpresurized filter (1 cup and 2 cup) and ESE pod filter.
3. The grinder setting should be adjusted in a different way machine to machine. It depends on filter basket caracteristics.
@@Paolo1064 Thank you!
Tricky answer, Solis/Sage/Breville all sell some of the same Barista products but are distributors in different parts of the world, but it seems that this Barista Perfetta is specific to Solis. Or maybe not yet distributed under Sage/Breville branding
@@ZombyScorps Solis Broke off from Breville 20+ years ago. So same design roots.
sorry, sage
God you're cute Allie and so knowledgeable too! I love watching you
