Thank you for the feedback! Sometimes I’m not sure if me talking takes away from the video. Sometimes I think my voice sounds weird lol, but I do like to talk so I will definitely include more of that!

@@Earthmadegarden I think your voice is very chill and it is actually refreshing to listen to someone just talking naturally instead of putting on a voice or following a script. I have the same delonghi machine (obtained used a couple months ago) so I love your espresso making videos and I think I will go ahead and get the bottomless portafilter too since it seems to be working out for you.

@@CourtneyinSF thank you, I appreciate that!! That’s awesome I got mine used also, if you get the bottomless portafilter definitely get a good grinder because without that the espresso won’t extract right. Thanks!!

Let the man enjoy his cuppa, mate. The other two are good. Nvm James.

Definitely a long way! I will test out weighing and timing my shots. I know the grind isn’t totally dialed in either. this grinder makes it hard to make fine adjustments and record where I’m at, but the more I do it the better it gets. Thanks for the tips!

@@johns6256thanks!! It was good!!

I guess maybe a bit sour? I usually make milk drinks so don’t notice the subtleties much, I’ve watched some of lance and Tom’s vids, and when I have time will fine tune my process!! Thanks for watching!

The way I’ve been measuring is with this shot glass’s measurements. I normally pull 1.5 oz out of 18g coffee so it should be close, but yea weight and time will get more accurate for sure.

It is meant for the rancillo I believe that’s how it is spelled. Got it on Amazon. I had to take apart the machine and modify it with this steam wand. It was quite a job, but I believe it’s worth it if you can manage.

@@Earthmadegarden Why didnnt you just remove the outer part or the wand?

@@gabrielab553 I did but it was still rubber/plastic and too short for me.
