Great video

So how do i know what beans are going to be dark and oily when buying them other than opening the bag and looking?

Hi! I own a Philips Walita 1200 and I believe the grind is not responding the adjusts of grinding. The coffee is the same (I tested) whatever the level I set. Could you help me?

RO water is good but only when you add a mineralization filter in the line after it is filtered, this way you get the best of both worlds, softer almost completely mineral free water then add the mineral filter you want, the right mineral filter is also important, this way you get the best taste with necessary minerals for your body as well as not clogging your machine. I’m fortunate enough to work for a car wash where I’m going through classes that has a lab for testing filters and water. a good car wash has a ppm of less than 25 in the water (Ro filter) ours is 3 ppm- this ensures no water spots as almost no minerals are in the water even if water spots are left on the car it dries clear with no minerals to harden, if you see spots on our wash it’s because soap was left on. Something we don’t let happen often, sometimes the blowers will blow out the soap that was left in the crevices of a vehicle at the end, but people still complain, what do you expect for a $20 car wash…a good car wash constantly tests and adjusts its settings as any little thing can change many things. On another note if you live in some cities you get water from the tap that is as good or better than bottled water, like Millbrae ca has excellent water which doesn’t require an RO filter at all, we also have a car wash that is in a city with over 985ppm! The worst I have seen. I myself notice drinking water over around 200ppm usually tastes bad. Average ppm in most water is 350. But it also matters what the particles are, it could just be high in one, two beneficial minerals, hopefully. Test your water!

Thanks for the video, I have juste acquired a 3200 series Philips in France and my lungo coffee is light dark like caramel. The taste is bitter I tried 2 different beans (Italian and Guatemala). My grinder setup is 3. Do you know if this could be a machine issue or strictly coffee choice ? Thanks.

I have a filter system by reverse osmosis. it has 4 different filters/ 4 stages. is that sufficient enough for filtering water or do I still need to use the filter in the water reservoir?

Hey! A quick question about acceptable roast level... Is Full City OK for superautomatics (DeLonghi PrimaDonna Exclusive in particular) ? I find mixed opinions about it and i'm a bit confused. Looking forward to receiving your feedback on this particular roast level.

Just got a Delonghi Expresso Lette model 44660 and the bean grinder is set @ 6 on the dial . Is this factory setting correct for Expresso coffee ☕️?

if i use distilled water, would this eliminate the need for descaling? also, i understand you don't want to use flavored or oily beans as they would clog the grinder, but do these restrictions apply to the preground single dose section? can i use flavored ground coffee in there?

Can I use a separate filter to filter my water, and then pour that filtered water into the Gaggia Anima? Is this bad for the machine at all? Will using this type of filtered water allow me to descale less often?

Hi, Im currently using Jura S8 but no matter which bean I pick I cant get a quality coffee crema. Its usually very little and dissipates quickly. Any suggestions on brands for beans?

I was given a used (barely) Jura Impressa A9 and the coffee is hot but the espresso is lukewarm. Any suggestions?

I have been using on sale Starbucks coffee from Costco for several years without problem. But recently the Saeco just dumps freshly grinded coffee and says "out of bean". I fully cleaned the grinder and the problem goes away when I use not oily coffee. If I continue to use the Starbuck coffee, the "out of bean" problem will come back again. My question is why the first several years the machine was okay with Starbucks, but not now? Thanks.

OK its how my brain doesn't work, but NOWHERE, including your video can I find which direction the grinder knob should be turned to go finer or courser and my older machine simply says 1-10 - is 10 fine and 1 course, or visa versa.

Hi mark. First time user can’t get the carafe into machine. Please help.

When I first get my machine can i adjust the grind without the beans in?

Tim Hortons uses A CRAZILY dark, oily bean. The taste is exactly the same across all the current machines. Some are button press\espresso squirt....some have a portafilter but are still button press, they just knock a puck out after the shot. The taste is, again, EXACTLY the same. I personally believe it's the best espresso there is. I find beans like there's, tho I got some from Canada from a cousin. Point was, they use oily beans for every shot. Is it possible to use an oily dark bean so long as maintenance is very thorough and regular???

How can i adjust the pressure on a philips? Espresso extraction is too fast

so i bought dark roast but like to drink espresso. do i set it to fine or coarse? the video mention espresso light roast . long coffee dark roast. kinda confusing

QUESTION: why does coffee taste better in a porcelain cup ( as opposed to plastic, paper or styrofoam).......or is it just my mind playing tricks on me?

NEVER adjust your coffee grinder without the machine being working. It needs to be working when you adjust it. Otherwise you risk to damage the mill.

Tim Thomerson ?

I hate fully automatic. They all taste like plastic compared to semi automatic maschines.
