Hi Kev, can you remove hopper with beans in place, if you wanted to for instance put decaf beans in?

@mattjames475 Жыл бұрын

I run a Barista Pro with integrated grinder. I learnt that you shouldn't leave beans in the hopper really as they go stale quickly (unless you are a big user). So I weigh the beans each time and so the hopper never really has any beans in it as you use everything you put in. That means if I want to switch between caf and decaf it is just the grind size that would need adjusting.

@tyo101 Жыл бұрын

Thanks, Kev. Is this machine much better than the Bambino Plus in your opinion in terms of espresso extraction and milk steaming?

@Coffee_Kev Жыл бұрын

I wouldn't say better as such, it depends on the user really, the main difference other than this being an integrated grinder machine is that this is an assisted machine, so I'd say it's a better option than the Bambino plus and a stand alone grinder for someone who wants/needs the assistance. There are other pros and cons for both, the bambino plus has the newer thermojet heater so steam ready is a bit faster, steaming time is a bit faster (4 hole tip too on the bambino plus), the impress express has adjustable temp which the bambino plus doesn't. Cheers, Kev

Hey there, new to your channel. I’ve just gotten this machine. I only tried to pull shots a couple of times and both times were disaster. I’m using lavazza beans not the local roaster. I am finding it hard to find the right grind size. It’s dark roast. I tried no. 6 but turned out too bitter. Then tried no.9 and it was watery. I was going to try again to set it this weekend. Any advise? I think it’s tricky to find the right grind setting. Not sure if the machine gets confused if you take out the portafilter after dosing then put back in to tamp. I also wanted to try distribtuin and ordered a small funnel but it may not fit into the tray. Anyway, sorry for the lengthy note here. Obviously new to espresso making but excited to actually do it after watching too many videos!

@cbailey1994 Жыл бұрын

Love your videos thank you. I’m deciding between the express impress and the bambino plus with a separate grinder and wondering which you’d recommend? I’m not too worried about losing the full ‘barista experience’ but do like the idea of the auto milk steaming on the bambino plus. although I think this is outweighs by the assisted tamping on this machine. Are there any other considerations I’m missing? Thank you!

How do I stop my coffee tasting bitter? Just got my machine this week. Followed your videos and have the grind changed down to 4 with coffee time at 29 seconds total for extraction. Roughly 3:1 extraction as factory settings. Admittedly using shop bought beans just for now as I get used to it. Will it just be the beans and fresh beans make all the difference? Was going to order your chocolate brownie blend beans off coffee works would they be good for a flat white coffee?

@TheDisneyPixar Жыл бұрын

I just don't understand who this machine is aimed at. It's got the assisted tamping which indicates it's meant for people getting into portafilter handling but at the same time is having a fully manual steam wand? Other machines in the range got it the other way around with the Touch or Bambino Plus, where the milk is automatic but puck prep is fully manual. The only machines which do both is the Oracles. So why not both? If you truly require help for the puck then are you really to be left on your own devices when it comes to milk? This is a very oddly positioned product...
