Longer Term review: Breville Dual Boiler v3 (3rd one)

Well dear readers it's been another year...1 to 2 espresso's a day and milk; decaf...no issues ZERO. SO far so good...i have not had to pull out the restored Brugnetti for backup either. It goes on. I have had this machine for over a year and 3 in 2 years + - various issues...seems stable. Thanks
