Thanks for the tip on the internal burr adjustment. It helped a lot. A tip back for you: the razor can be used after you tamp and it will not only set the height of the cake (so it doesn't stick) but it also levels it.

Thank you for the delayed explanation and tips. I just got this machine and I’m in love with it! I learnt a lot from this video. I love how you talk about all the settings and make it so easier to understand. 💖

Excellent demo and instruction thanks. I'll get back to messing about with it.

I just got one from Amazon because I applied for a job at Able Coffee Roaster’s in Huntington Beach, California. Thank you!

This is a great explainer, thank you! You can really tell that Allie knows her stuff, and she did a great job presenting it really clearly.

Just got this beautiful machine today. Excited to try it! Just curious on how to go about descaling the machine.

Great setup video for beginners to the Barista Pro. I'm loving my Breville Infuser I got from scg in March. I have it with the Smart Grinder Pro. 👍

Brilliant video. Thankyou.

Does using the 2 cup of water button versus the 1 cup of water button affect the taste of the coffee? I am just learning how to use the machine, thank you!

Helpful video!

Thank you so much. Very well explained and certainly covers the basics on how to get your best shot of coffee. Thank you for doing a close-up on how the shot pours out. It helped me a lot as for some reason I always thought that it not good if the volume is too low 🤷‍♂️. Since I use different beans then you do it’s just a matter of fine tuning a bit more. I wish Breville would’ve done most of the tuning before shipping it to me but the factory settings are way off. Thanks again!

Thank you for the help :)

Great timing Allie and Seattle! I've had the UK equivalent (Sage Barista Pro) for a touch over a week now, and this is a really useful video. It's good to get confirmation that I'm doing roughly the right things, but more than anything it's been really useful to confirm the size of the dose. To confirm, I end up with about 17 grams going in after distributing and levelling!

Great explanation!! Can you please do more video using this machine??

Do you still need to use filter if you use bottled water ? Also can you used flavored beans ?

Best video ever!!! Mines finally perfect! ❤

I just got this machine and this video was extremely helpful, thank you!

You need to put the single basket in to do a clean cycle

what button(s) do you press to get automatic dosing? Can you give a lesson just on the buttons and readout?

Hi I’m having trouble with the coffee puck sticking to the machine instead of staying in the portafilter after pulling a shot? Am I doing something wrong?

Thank you so much for this demo. It helped a lot. Wondering if anyone else had trouble with a “too swollen” filter after soaking it. The cap would not fit on so i had to let it air dry for hours before it would even begin to think about snapping on. Even at that i had to work at the prongs to latch into the grooves. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I would like to increase the temperature of the shot but the instructions are very confusing. How do I make that adjustment?

Hi can you do a video of all the possible drinks you can make with this machine pleaseeeeeee I just got one today and just learning 😄

Good video, thank you :)

Does that black back flush disk go directly into the portafilter or into the one cup basket first

I had no idea the filter wasn't for water hardness. Thanks for that.

Confused what the difference is between adjusting the grind with the knob on the side (1-30) versus pulling the grinder blade out and adjusting

i have this machine !! ive followed a lot of what youve said but i do have a question, i tried pulling a double shot but the machine automatically stopped at 15 sec instead of 25 like yours, what can i do about that ?

What color is the one you are using? Champagne?

Hi can i make a longer cup of coffee with this machine?

Can anyone tell me if I'm supposed to pour out water from tank after use? Or do I leave the water in. It won't waste the filter faster will it?

Is it 16" tall with or without the hopper? What is the height with the hopper?

I couldnt pull this 😄 i think the kind of coffee beans affect this heavily

Can I ask why you adjust the burrs before adjusting the grind size?

I thought that the grind (fine vs coarse) was determined was not done by adjusting the grinder at the top but using the adjustment on the screen. What am I missing? Thanks

I’m a little confused on adjusting the grind size. There’s the adjustment knob that shows a faster or slower pour, and you demonstrated actually taking out and adjusting the burr itself. Is one method preferred over the other? Also, the numbers, in seconds, on the bottom of the display that you’re able to adjust... is that for the duration of the grind? These questions may seem strange, however, I have a neighbor who was just gifted this machine without having any instructions or manual. I’ve been trying to help him, but my machine is totally different having an E61 brew group with a heat pump & boiler. Thanks

Hi! Great video... I have a question about water. Is it better for machine to use distilled or spring water i.e. bottled water? By better I mean... does it taste better and also is it better for machine’s longevity or it builds less scaling ?

Hi i have problem in flush in first use, It stops after 3 seconds and no water comes out

Please confirm the burr setting for the last shot.

Im having trouble with the volume of shot. I have set the time duration in the menu then set the length of the extraction required but after saving the volume, it sometimes stops extraction too soon or it doesn't stop when required and just goes on and on until you have to manually stop the extraction. Is this due to grind size?

fml. I can't know if this guide is good because there's no dislike button. fu google

Thank you!. how to make hot chocolate, cold coffee, Frappuccino?

She said she was making a latte toward the end. What size cup was that?

I'm looking into purchasing a Breville because of the many great reviews. However, I am feeling a little hesitant because I've noticed some warning reviews that Breville equipment gives out around 12 to 18 months. Have you heard of these issues?

Why is there water in my Portia filter after I have used it? Many thanks

Great video! I have the Breville Barista Express. I don't think I have the silicone insert for the cleaning tablets. Is that necessary on my machine? Thanks again for all your help and expertise.

Does this machine allows you to make 2 or 3 coffee back to back without shutting it down to reset?

how many ml need to have 1 cup and 2 cup

fascinating that some people use scales to make an espresso....

My Sage Barista Pro starts at 8 seconds and is finished at 15 seconds, for a double shot. Whats wrong with it?

Hi! I'm getting a really small amount of coffee when grinding at 11 seconds, even on default grind size 15.. I have to crank up my grind time to 18seconds with a grind size of 16 and just getting about 16grams of coffee.. Is there something wrong with my machine? Or every bean is different?

I hope y’all reply soon. Just bought the barista pro. I understand it gets very precise. But all these numbers get me confused? Is there a way to explain it for dummies lol? Maybe I can call and have it explained to me?? I hope so!

Can you tell me what scale you are using. Thanks.

I have the breville barista express. The single wall double basket gives underextracted shots no matter what i do (finer grind, freshly roasted coffee, harder tamp, more grams of coffee). I gave up and used the double wall which gived consistent shots. Thoughts on why this is the case and what i could be doing differently?

How can I get my milk to look like Allie's?? I always end up with too much foam or not enough and she made it look effortless!

When i have done my latte there is almost no Coffee in my cup :/ and there is still lots of water in the handel basket :/ like it will not get thru the puck... Do you know what im doing wrong?

i just bought the Breville Barista Pro espresso machine. should i adjust my grinder ?

If you keep reducing the ground it wil be a loose ground, thus the water goes thru too fast.

I have avoided buying this machine because of the smaller port-a-filter. 17 grams is not nearly like 22 grams! How is the taste difference between this and the larger port-a-filters?

wife bought it, and asked me to set it up ....ahhh!

Cool video and cool KZfaq channel 🤙

What is the number under the word “amount” i am really confused about what that number means. When you first open the Breville pro it says “13 seconds” what’s this mean?

I took off the grinder to adjust it and now I can't locked it back..too hard..can anyone help me?

My barista pro is only grinding one shot worth even when double is selected, it is also only pulling a shot worth of espresso when I push double, how do I fix this?

No matter how fine I make the grid it only brews up to 15sec. I’ve done everything you did in the video. Went to settings as low at 7 grid size with 13sec and it always stops at 15sec. Yours go all the way up to 25sec. I’m not sure what else to do. Wondering if there is something wrong with the machine. Just got it last week. What else should I do?

Please please tell me what I'm doing wrong... I'm doing grind 9 for 12 seconds and it seems to be fine at about 17g. When I try to get a shot it is only running for 13 seconds..... please help, I'm getting through coffee at an alarming rate....

I really want to program my double shot button to 28 seconds, but it cuts out at 26 seconds when I'm trying to program, so I always ends up pulling manual shots. What am I doing wrong?

How can I make one decaf and then a regular coffee? Is it just a case of changing the beans and flushing?

Okay I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. I've watched about a dozen videos and I cannot get consistent shots....sometimes I get a good one and I program that as a custom shot, but the next day it doesn't pour it the same. Each morning I heat up the group head and portafilter, run a few beans through the grinder to grind out any old retention.... I then single dose my beans with a scale on my preferred grind setting that I thought was a good dial in, using only fresh coffee.. I then use a distribution tool and an auto tamp to be consistent. ..then I'll hit my custom shot which should be timed from my previous dial in session to be nearly perfect (getting a 1:2 ratio in grams of output between 25 and 32 seconds)..but yet it will pull wildly different each time. What the heck I'm trying to do everything the same as much as possible so why do my results vary so much? I feel exasperated and about to give up on this machine.

Can you also make normal coffee with this machine? I am very interested please let me know. Thank you

You didn’t purge the steam spout after steaming, you could get back flow of milk up to the heating element. Highly suggest doing a purge after each milk steaming session.

The internal burr adjustment is NOT recommended right off the bat. It was intended as something to be done as a last resort, or as something you could do if you just could not achieve the desired results after many attempts. I have the Smart Grinder Pro (2 in fact), and I have Never had to make this adjustment.

I love how she showed us how to set the grinder AFTER we put coffee beans in it 👌 I had to take the ones that fell through out individually. 20 minutes waisted. But thanks for other tips

Can I use a naked portafilter with this machine?

so much for the setup

I am having trouble with sour taste in coffee

The problem is the Barista Pro brews espresso @ 260 degrees and no matter what you do to try and pre warm it it wont work.

I bought this a couple months ago but something was wrong with the protafliter. I would literally have to use all my force to turn it. I sent it back and I only got on cup of coffe out of it. Was mine defective?

We bough one today still dont know how to use it 🤣🤣

You didn't clear the steam nozzle with water after frothing the milk.

00:25 Lady, the reason I'm watching this video is to avoid reading the Manual.

I just want to make a drink, I am regretting buying this. I mean Jesus can I get a cappuccino!

Why are there no videos for a single cup of coffee not double

I use bottled water. No need for filter.

Very helpful video. Also I tried to make a challenge for myself, to count how many times she said “SO”. So, after 100 times I just give up.

I was going to buy this machine as pods are quite expensive and I use 2 at a time but I don't have this kind of time also my Nespresso machine is a lot cheaper. Thanks for saving me a whole heap of money.

Skip 22 min of the vid Her in-dose was 17g Her output was at 25s, she used volume to measure the out and doesn’t explain how many grams

Yeah that nob on the left side adjusts the grind finer/coarser idk why she took the entire burr off the top, unneccesary

The steamer for this one is terrible, it's actually just mike warmer!

24s is total time. I was always taught it's 25-30s from first drip. So with 8s pre-infusion that's a 16s pull from first drip!!!! Way too fast.

Where's Gail??????????????

wasting coffee FeelsBadMan

STOP THROWING THE COFFEE!!! THE HUMANITY!

This is insane. Literally everything on my machine is incredibly tight. Couldn’t get the burr out without feeling like I’d break the machine. My fiancé can’t get the portafilter head set on the spout at all, it takes nearly all my strength to put it on even with her holding the machine. Even the wheel to adjust the grind size is hard to turn. The water barely flows through on a 10 grind setting with 18 grams of espresso. Tried going to the 12 grind setting and it took 52 seconds to reach 20 grams of espresso. The grind was really not that fine either. Plus it’s extremely loud... very disappointing for a $800 machine.

18 grams. It's supposed to be 18. I switched off when you said 17

Coffee is not placed whole in the mill to be fresh. The required amount is placed in the mill for one cup

Why are some of them so expensive? I just looked at the price of this at $1200 it’s pretty par for the course for a premium product but they also have ones for $4000. That’s the price of a car. It’s for the home kitchen not a coffee bar!

A good photographer can use the most basic old camera laying around that no one wants and take a good photo. Give the absolute most modern and most expensive camera and put it in the hands of 99.99999 % of people and the photo will still turn out, well, just a snap shot. Ha ha A few times I have poured wine and the person has complained or said that the wine was "corked". I took the glass back and the bar team poured it back into the bottle and took it back to the customer and apologized, then poured it out of the same bottle and the feedback was always "thank you, much better". I am now convinced that corked wine becomes good again after the aeration and second pour....... (◐.̃◐)

Ahhhhh please don’t tamp on top of your funnels like that!!! You could damage your portafilter!

Ok i knew you knew nothing about the machine when you said its gunna fill the boilers and stuff..... There is no boiler, its a thermoblock, it doesnt need to fill crap, also dont store your beans on top, they oxidise and go bad. The grinders in the machine arent perfect but the bullshit About changing to single wall after your an "expert" is dumb. This machine will also NOT heat the portafilter at all because it doesnt heat until water flows through the head. Also, dont phuck with the top burr grinder, use the side knob first. if that fails then go to the top burr grinder settings.
