This should be compulsory watching for anyone buying a Sage/Breville machine with a built-in grinder. I wasted countless hours watching other videos from affilate marketers who haven't a clue about coffee before I came across this one. This is the only video you need to watch on dialling in coffee on a Sage...most of the other settings aren't going to make a blind bit of difference, this is what you need to pay attention to...and of course the freshness of your beans (go for medium/dark roast as more forgiving; avoid light roasts). Aju, one question where do you get the coffee holder - the one you place under the grinder, before emptying into the portafilter? Saves a lot of mess, could do with one of those! I could not see the link for that below.

How to set the grind time correctly? 18sec doesn't seem enough to grind all necessary coffee for a shot

@markalbaladejo517 11 ай бұрын

Yes, I've also encountered this problem where I've bought nearly all tools but still produces low pressure, watery shot, and no crema even when the burr and grind size is set to 1-1 which is the finest grind that the machine can offer. However, after buying freshly-roasted coffee beans, my problem was solved and the pressure gauge even shows high pressure that's nearly exiting the "espresso range" which would make the coffee bitter. Another visual inspection to take note is if the coffee beans doesn't have that "gloss" then the oils inside the beans might have escaped which makes it look dry and you'll run your shot with a low pressure, producing an acidic coffee with no fruity notes.

@AjusCafe 11 ай бұрын

You did it right by getting freshly Roasted beans. Regarding the gloss part, its hard to conclude freshness by that. Glossy beans just means it has gone through 2nd crack. So mostly dark roast will look oily and medium or light roast looks dry.

Excellent video, Aju! I got Breville 878 over Thanksgiving and first problem encountered is low pressure. My coffee bean brand is Peet's, with fresh-by date of Nov.8th. So I guess it is a bit old. The technique you described helped and I can get the flow in 9 sec which falls in the right range indicated by the manual. However, not enough crema. I guess the brewing process is really an art.

@AjusCafe Жыл бұрын

Congratulations on your purchase. For more crema, you need to get freshly Roasted beans from a local roaster, which is less than a week old with Roasted date.

How much pressure are you using during tamp? Shouldn't it be 15 to 20kg? Too little may cause under extraction.

@AjusCafe Жыл бұрын

Tamp pressure is not a big deal. But it needs enough pressure just to cover all obvious air pockets. Once it compacts, the more pressure you apply won't make any huge difference. You can make espresso even without compacting. i.e. just leveling it. There are many videos on this. But as you pointed, to avoid under Extraction, and to avoid obvious air pockets, we tamp.

@kenroman777 Жыл бұрын

After you were at 12:00 in your video and you said both sour and bitter I was encouraged as that is all I get and there is a fix. Then when you ground finer my hopes were dashed as I have a sette 270wi and my shots are sour and bitter almost always. I see some people like me have said the same and breville has replaced their machine and problem went away. I literally cannot get support from breville as they do not answer the phone or chat. Honestly in 8 months I have gone through 15+kg of beans..lavazza super crema and locally roasted and have in that time 3 good shots and 1 ok.. rest were sour & bitter. I am ready to trash this machine and take my $2k+ loss and look elsewhere. I used WDT and calibrated tamper and precision basket and bottomless. Sorry I watched your video without a solution. Good video though and I am sure you are helping many.

@AjusCafe Жыл бұрын

Good note. I guess you have all good equipment which is great. Now the sour and bitter together, from my experience is caused by Channeling. As some area of the puck can over extract and other side can underextract. You could try change the temp up if its Dark roast OR less if its Medium roast and see. I assume u are warming up your Grouphead, PF and Baskets before the actual shot.

@kenroman777 Жыл бұрын

@@AjusCafe sorry, i forgot.. always WDT and warming up grouphead and cup. I took temps of water flowing and after pre infusion time it went up to 205F for a short time and then cooled down so the water in my vessel is about 169F..What should the temp be throughout the brew cycle? Why does Breville have such poor support? If I would have known this I never would have purchased .

The wire brush, the plastic basket, the tamper, and the mat you have next to the machine. Also, a little more details on which filter basket you use ( the single or dual wall)? Also, I did everything you showed and my extraction was only 15-16 seconds. How do I change it to get to the 30 seconds to achieve the same crema results you had?

@AjusCafe Жыл бұрын

I don't use the Grid Amount dial to set the amount for a single or double dose. I usually weigh 18g beans and dose only that at a time. I don't leave the beans in the hopper either as it can stale quickly. You can set the Grind Amount dial to achieve that. Usually 1g per 1 second ratio. So 18g=18sec. Just a guide as it can differ slightly according to the beans used.

@23:27 I think you use the WBT tool inefficient. If you would use an open portafilter, you would have seen a lot of channeling. You are only touching the upper few millimeters in the basket.👴🤔 The way the makers of the tool intended it, is to go to the bottom of the basket, then without scraping the bottom start making small circles going round in the basket, then while continuing this, gradually lifting the tool until the tool is out.👴😎🤷‍♂ @26:28 The turbulent flow and the huge difference between the two flows tells that there must still be a lot of channeling.👴🧐 The inner burr adjustment is quite much, but turned out OK. The adjustment is meant to react on wear of the burrs.👴😎🤷‍♂

Adding 1 tsp per gallon of either sodium or potassium bicarbonate to the water dramatically improves crema and consistency of the shot.

@AjusCafe Жыл бұрын

What about the taste?

@JohnClulow Жыл бұрын

@@AjusCafe As we know, taste is inherently subjective. The small amount of bicarbonate increases pH (in my measurements from say 4.5 to 6) and so reduces acidity a bit. But I think the more important effect is in generation of crema during extraction and that, to us, seems to improve taste. Give it a try with baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) at 1 level tsp per gallon of water and see what you think. I've been using this for a year now with potassium bicarbonate and it has made a very significant improvement, we think. We see a significant improvement in crema and flavor.
