Good day sir! I would like to let you know that before coming to your video I had been sitting in front of my machine for well over an hour, pull after pull achieving the same result (not even registering pressure and just flushing through the Porta filter)... After burning through an entire bag of coffee, countless reddit posts, and a ton of other youtube videos, I came across this! And YOU sir saved my machine, you saved my machine from being destroyed, pulverized, beaten into pieces, unidentifiable as an espresso machine, obliterating it into sub particles like The Avengers by Thanos... But as I sit here, buzzing off my numerous tastes of sour espresso shots, and sipping on my desired iced latte I had been trying to achieve, I would like to thank you for saving my machine and bringing harmony into our previously tumultuous relationship. Balance has been restored in my home, my wife, kids, and machine owe it all to you.. Not all heros wear capes sir 👏

Thanks for this video, a few days ago I started getting low pressure on my Barista and the flow rate too fast and amount extracted increased as well. I adjusted the internal burr size to 3 and that was too fine, final setting was burr size 5 and grind setting 6 which for the beans I'm using which are fresh gave me a pull of 52ml at 29 secs using 17 g. This produced a great shot, which I unfortunately cannot drink unless I want to be buzzed out of my freakin' mind! I did not know this about the burr size so thank you.

@phatwell85 3 жыл бұрын

Something of note - I was having similar issues of low pressure on my machine. Adjusting the burr definitely helps to ’fine’ out your grind, but the majority of the time, this is not the issue. The issue comes from the seal when locking your portafilter. Don’t just turn to where it says lock on your machine, but extend it to where you feel the ‘click’ or no more turn.

@AjusCafe 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks Josh. Thats one possible cause if your GroupHead seal is worn out or torn. I covered this point as well in Part 2 or Part 3 of Low Pressure video in my channel.

@coffeeguy6673 3 жыл бұрын

NIce, clear and concise video Aju, great job. Just a couple of tips if I may, when adjusting the grind you should really run the grinder when making the adjustment, each time you adjust then run some coffee off and discard, secondly, you should weigh the dose as well, 9g single, 14-15g double . Before placing the portafilter in to the group, run some water from the group, this takes off any steam build up and stops the water burning the coffee. As a professional coffee machine engineer with over 20 years of experience these are just a couple of tips to add to what is already a great hints and tips video. At the end of the day, taste is subjective. Cheers all, enjoy your espresso !

@nigeldarling5734 3 жыл бұрын

Very clear for every one on changing the burrs setting, it has its place but...tamp pressure is not that important, coffee freshness is the key, I've found that its not worth the trouble changing the internal burr. Change your coffee beans! you need fresh beans, buy with a roasting date on bag. Ideally 2 weeks from purchased. I found this to solve all my problems, I even roast my own beans now and pressure and crema are always amazing. My dial in setting is now around 8-7 for fresh medium roast, and 5 for fresh dark, medium my favorite as I'm not a fan of oily beans. Give it a go. I live in the UK, and I've found some coffee on amazon with a roasting date on by "coffee masters" excellent for UK shop bought. Single origin bean roasting at home is great fun and coffee is always superb. All the best.

Very useful information, than you for making this video! A couple things I would say are, I think you should use a scale to measure your dose. It's hard to just eyeball to within a gram accuracy, and a difference of 16g vs 17g can be significant. The other thing is that your tamp seemed a bit light. I don't know how you calibrate that tool you are using, but just watching you it seemed that the tamp pressure was low, and that can also make a big difference.

I've been looking at various videos for the Breville Barista Express since I was having trouble with low pressure. After watching this video, I am finally able to make it work after having the machine for almost a month. SUCH a great video and amazing advice!! really appreciate it

I tinkered with my burr setting as well as grinder setting and holy moley I finally got the pressure up to where it needed to be and got the best espresso yet, right in the middle... Thank you for making this video I was about this close to contacting customer support because nowhere in their guidebook does it say anything about a burr setting... Thank you

Glad to hear that this video helped. Page 20 of the manual talks about burr adjustment in general. But not clear though.

I ordered one machine and this problem kept occurring. I youtubed fixes and messed with it for two days. I then ordered another machine and shocking... same problem occurred. You saved my day, it was the actual grinder that needed to be adjusted on the inside. Nicely done sir.

you are a beast! you did it! LOL I was using this machine at an office and thought the grind size was the only setting. I bought one and noticed it had a crappy flow no pressure and the grind size didnt do anything...Found your great video. Now I can fine tune this thing and get my mojo with work from home! Yeah! so excited to go get some nice beans. Take my home expresso game to the next level with my Barista pro!!!! Thank you!

This video saved my sanity. All of a sudden I was getting 0 pressure on the lowest grind. I didn't realise you could adjust the internal burr size. Dropped from the default 6 to 3 internally and 4 on the external and with 18g of beans I'm getting a beautiful pull and double espresso. Thanks for posting

Hey man, just wanted to give you a quick shout-out for being a total legend! I recently got my hands on the Breville Dual Boiler, and I was seriously struggling to get the pressure right. I had a feeling it might be the pre-ground coffee I was using, and you totally confirmed that for me. Thanks a lot g - it's folks like you who make the coffee game so much fun!

Please make sure you use freshly Roasted beans ONLY for espresso. Many ignore that. Find a local store and get freshly Roasted and see the difference in pressure and taste
