Old vs New: Breville Bambino vs DeLonghi BAR32 - Can Upgrades Bring It Up to Modern Standards?

In this video, I compare the new Breville Bambino with the classic DeLonghi BAR32, showcasing how modern espresso tools can transform an older machine. First, I pull a shot with the Breville Bambino using its advanced technology and contemporary tools. Then, I test the DeLonghi BAR32 with only its factory setup to see how it performs. Finally, I upgrade the DeLonghi BAR32 with modern espresso tools, including a bottomless portafilter, high-end 17g basket, WDT, gravity distributor/leveler, a 30lbs sound feedback tamper, and a puck screen.
Can these upgrades bring the older DeLonghi closer to the Breville's performance? Watch to see how these two machines stack up and whether upgrading older tech really makes a difference!
