Starbucks is how I got into coffee haha.

so he got paid to work at a coffee establishment, that’s the definition of professional barista u dumb narcissist, let the man teach us something

@@Ethanrodecoffee I know I'm just messing with you! I work at a specialty cafe and you still make better coffee than me! Keep up the awsome work!

​@Ethanrodecoffee calling yourself a pro barista after working at starbucks is just blatantly lying, actual stolen valor lmao

@@thighg8744 is it though? That is assuming two things: - It is impossible for a Starbucks employee to be deeply knowledgeable about coffee - former employees of Starbucks can’t get in depth mentorship and development after leaving Starbucks I would say both of those assumptions are deeply flawed

you don't need a $5,000 machine like he has. I use a $200 machine w $200 grinder :D

@@AaronAubreyPhoto the bianca isnt a 5k machine bro, its 2k - and lelit offers machines for around 500€ as well - combined with a g-iota grinder thats a very capable setup 👀

What's the name of that machine?

In my experience everyone does it a Bit differently but you should Put the Coffee into your Shaker with the ice immedeately Shake and Drink fresh. The Coffee wont Melt all the ice so dont worry about changing anything

If you're talking specifically about iced coffee and not cold brew search the phrase "Japanese style iced coffee". Basically you brew your coffee directly on to the ice and account for the dilution as the ice melts. If you're talking about cold brew search the phrase "hot bloom" to learn some tips on how to extract a wider range of flavors. That should be the only time hot water touches a cold brew. Another term to seach involving cold brew would be the "Kyoto style" but that involves some extra equipment.

I got a surprisingly good one for like $120. It luckily doesn't have to be crazy expensive machines for a good shot of espresso

1:2 so 36g of Water. 40 would be ideal though.

Yes, because tamping the coffee perfectly level is tough, usually it has a slight slant meaning to water will prefer one side

It’s a Lelit Bianca.

@@Osteoporos1s Thank you good Sr. 👏🏼👊🏼👍🏼

its water

i bought a Staresso Pro. It's manual, portable, and it's inexpensive. about $100. There is a $60 Staresso but I would advise against it. Mine has 20 bars of pressure. Most machines are about 9 bars. I also have a Kuerig cafe, but it does not make authentic espresso

@@asher6657 Ty ! I’ll look into that

I would get the Delonghi Dedica Arte. In the Uk it goes for a reasonable £250. In the US it goes for between 250 and 300 dollars, based on my research.

You can't make espresso with instant coffee...

@@JensThestrupToft yes! its easy! buy some espresso, then pour it on top of your instant coffee 😜🙃

lelit bianca

Yes

you'll want to press down until you feel some resistance from the grinds, but being careful not to go far over that

There's no specific weight, just push until the grinds don't go down anymore. Applying force past that is pointless and can cause injury in the long run.

It depends. He weighed out 18g of beans, so you would typically see 36-40 grams of coffee. 18-22 grams will get you a ristretto, 55-60 will get you a lungo. Don't get too hung up on numbers, though. The most important part is that you get to your desired weight within the 25-30 second mark and that the end result tastes good. Happy brewing😁

1:2 ratio 17-19g of coffee then double that of water Then add water or milk for whatever drink you want

@@Thunder8277 That was very helpful! Thank you.

@@ChrisKavanagh11 got it! Thanks.

What's the best coffee bean for the most crema

😂😂😂

Most likely a 'Lelit' machine

From a roaster. Find one that is close to you, and they will have freshly ground coffee. Trust me, after switching from store bought off the shelf coffee to freshly roasted its a world of difference. Doesn’t even need to be expensive, just fresh

@@halftome well, I live on an island in Venezuela. If you know a roaster here, would really appreciate it

@@RobertoOrtis well, you got me there :)

@@halftome no problem, thanks! I will have a look 👀

its about ratios to the amount of water you intend to use

@@gaming.golden 18 grams of coffee the ratio is 1:1.5

Not every espresso is the same. If you like to have a more precise espresso these definitely help but not necessary. It's the same with everything else in life.

literally, it means you get a paycheck.

@Asher so everyone who has ever worked in anything, regardless of being good at it, is a professional (if they got paid for it) ? Interesting train of thought.

Thanks

So why can use 10 to 20 grand of tools well

If you want more specific tips, you can probably ask him personally on his Discord politely

Equipment matters too, grinders matter most in terms of how it affects the flavour of a bean. If you can, try and get a bottomless filter and see if your extractions are bad. If it’s neither of these, it’s probably your beans, or you just dont like the taste of espresso. Try your local specialty cafes and compare them to yours.

@@varrelxx I did get a bottomless and the extraction looks about the same as what I see. I think I don’t like the taste lol. It’s just when I see videos saying “I taste hints of chocolate, grapes, and other fruits” I’m just thinking wow, what the hell am I drinking?!

@@Ashhong1 What people mean is that it reminds them of these things. At the end of the day it's coffee and it tastes like coffee, all the other 'notes' are subtle by comparison. You can also experiment with the roast, darkly roasted coffee will usually be less "fruity" than a light or medium roast.

@@Ashhong1 Usually, coffees are evaluated professionally through “cupping.” It usually happens by comparison too, so they would be cupping more than one coffee to taste the difference. Tasting coffee through espresso is a little harder and most espresso has the same general taste. Dont be upset if you can’t get the “notes” while sipping espresso, as only experienced coffee drinkers or professionals could tell. Try comparing with a milk-based drink first. I like to go to cafes and order cortados to see if I like their beans.

@@varrelxx great info thank you

if you want to try a littlwe fun tastyng ezpirience try tasting a shot like you do normally and one with a paper filter on the bottom. it has stupid good clarity

From what I've seen, of all the extra unnecessary tools the WDT is the one that makes the biggest difference

You just did...

vermutlich weil die meisten cafes keinen per definition guten espresso verkaufen. guckt man sich wettkämpfe an, sieht man auch all diese tools. sogar noch weitaus mehr tricks und tools - es ist ein teufelskreis! :D

That's because at a café adding steps to the workflow wastes time. The extra stuff is for coffee nerds at home

What are you confused about?

I never heard James Hoffman saying “professional barista” on his youtube channel, I wish you become better than the professional baristas, dont get me wrong But saying this about ur self is not nice, how ever, it is ur choice

@@abdallahhazaz3697 relax guys. There was no intentions of being elitist saying this haha

@@Ethanrodecoffee I like ur videos btw

Please remove the temporary sticker from the group head before it becomes permanent.

Esrly!!

Thanks😁

Nothing wrong with just making a coffee without putting in a lot of effort, but there is also nothing wrong with taking extra steps to get the most out of your favorite coffee. You do you, and let other people do what they want.

He is just making a coffee. One that also doesn't taste like shit.

“Don’t enjoy your thing because I think it’s stupid” Just shut up man
