Sunbeam EM7000

System

Well, we knew it was coming and I understand it was on show only recently...

A few pics as copied from another forum...

And you saw it here first - A link to one of the first a videos of the machine in action. Not great detail but it hints at a number of improvements.

1. Brass collar
2. Angled handle
3: looks like a new tamp
4: Reference to 9 bar so an OPV ?
5: Milk sensor in the steam tip = Interesting
6: PID control

As details become available, I will see that posts are updated.

Interesting In a good way At least high volume manufactures are producing a more suitable product these days, that's had more thought put into the design, instead of dumbing it down to the lowest denominator Hope it works out for them and gives those pods a run for there money KK

And the $ puts it at a level where it is below the 1K and thus if a significant improvement over the EM6910; then may force Breville to reconsider their $. Either way, competition and better than full Autos or Pods.

Totally agree on the price, as that will attract " the next step up " buyers KK

Hmmmm, is it just me or does it look more brevilleish than sunbeamish. Steam still looks piss poor and the milk temp sensing, well, say no more. But if its price point is right Breville will have to respond I would imagine. I wonder if they have redesigned the steam thermoblock at all or are just going to use the mountain left over from the 6910 ?

Wonder what street price will be, given that BDB is currently available for a smidgen under $1k

derrilex

Ahhhh, I love a good speculation :rofl:

No mate, the milkman was fired.... Out of a canon. When do we think someone will stock both the 7000 and the Breville 900 for a shoot out?

Lacehim

I haven't even seen a Breville 900 in the shops yet! HN and the like up here are still busy selling their superautos! I can't imagine the Sunbeam will be any better, landfill within 3 years, unless AM steps in and fixes all the problems! :pan Seriously they should get him consulting and get it right the first time! He know's the 6910's issues so well, and I can bet you there are still in the 7000.

I am interested to hear of any news on this machine as it may be of interest to many just starting there coffee journey KK

What are the things on the front of the PF?

Koffee_Kosmo

Did the old model have a hot water tap? KK

From the site ... "Commercial sloping handle with tamping pad". So a "tamping pad" presumably - typical appliance maker, trying to make things easier to use. What's wrong with old school I say.

Brett... My thoughts exactly ??? And yes KK. The EM6900 and EM6910 both had hot water.

Doesn't perform any function that I can think off. Its like they have given the PF a set of balls :rofl:

Kelsey

It's function is obvious. To be proprietary.

It's function is to make an even more impressive thunk on the floor when AM makes it naked! :rofl:

Honest_Gaza

I'd like to see a small tab / handle on the rubber part of the Steam Wand like the EM6910 has (and the new Breville)
