Just make a how-to, start-to-finish series, taking us through from beginning (set up) to end (clean up). Please and thank you! That would be a great addition to the book that comes with the machine, esp for those of us who need follow along help

Any coffee machine will give you better coffee than Starbucks even if you don’t know how it works 😂

I use this machine on my coffee van. I pour about 200 cups a day. It produces a quality and consistent coffee day after day, week after week and month after month. Only advice I have is to not skip the Descaler

I have one of these. Would love a latte art / milk frothing tutorial using this steamer!

Using it since two years almost. It’s great. Big tip though: don’t use the coffee container to store the coffee, store it separately and weigh before putting it in

“I’m gonna completely master this machine.” “I’m gonna make an entire series on how to master this machine.”

Got this for Xmas and I'm still trying to make a good americano. So good to see someone offering to break it down and give some sound advice. Thanks dude. 👍🏼

I didn’t know this man needed ANOTHER machine for his coffee set up 😅😂

Any coffee is better than Starbucks.

Thank you so much Ethan! This is much needed for coffee enthusiasts like me😅😂

I have had this machine for 8 years and it’s still fantastic

I would love to see a general beginner to advance series. I have a several questions 1. What is the best way to find the best grinder settings for different types of coffee beans? 2. What are the best grinder settings to grind coffee for a French Press as well as a Keurig? Sometimes I just want a regular cup of coffee. 3.How to trouble shoot inconsistent pulls when you're using: a. the same beans and the same amount of beans--18g b. the same grinder settings c. a calibrated tamper d. and a puck screen

Could you make it a playlist on your channel so I'll be able to find it anytime? You're the best! ☕

What are some of the best tools you would recommend for this machine? Could you do a showcase of them?

Dang, this is definitely a bucket list item for sure. I’d love to have this.

it would be nice if you could show how you steam the milk. I can do latte art most times but milk is not as good as I can do it at work on a commercial machine. And to be honest i havent put enough time to figure it out

Could you please do a how to guide going over anything that will be necessary in day-to-day operation?

I’m saving up to get this! Really looking forward to your videos

I've never seen your channel before, but I'm down for this series

I always struggle on the settings for grinding the coffee. So a video for it would be great

I got the Breville touch and after dialing it in, I make barista style coffee everytime. I use half-and-half and frother is eazy to clean. Amazing machine and save hundreds of dollars by making my own lattes. Oh Lavazza extra creama worksthe best for me.🤓

Hope you can make a vid on how to steam and texture milk that’s good for latte art using this machine. 😊

Just so you know, your channel is one of my favorites!

One of the few companies that still make things the the right way!! Great quality parts!!!

I have one of these, and it makes good espresso if you know how. I have 2 complaints about it. Related to the grinder. First time based grinders are really bad at giving the same dose. Second, as the grider heats up, the metal burrs kind of expand, leading to inconsistent grind size. If I could go back in time, I'd save the $150, get the model without a grinder, and buy a decent grinder.

Pro Tips: (4 yr owner/ twice daily user) 1) Use & Keep your Freshly Roasted/ Quality-store-bought Beans (in my case, Lavazza Rossa, BB date at least 1.5-1yr out) stored & air-sealed in your refrigerator, & once dialed in, u r less likely to ever have to adjust your grind setting or battle stale beans. 2) the Single Shot Non-pressurized basket gives the most consistent & best tasting shot w its slight contour. (10-11g beans) + saves💰 3) Set your inner grind burr to 1 or 2 ASAP. 4) Get a WDT tool, amazingly, u can taste the difference. 5) get a Hands-Free Dosing Funnel w Grinder Trigger that Fits Breville 54mm Portafilters 6) get a small $20 scale to weigh your single shot beans. 7) the small breville Knock Box is a must.. & now ur rolling. ... great video, looking forward to your series !

I’ve got this machine and have had it for the past year and once I fine tuned the setting like grind coarseness, I found it pulled a really good shot! I have my coffee daily from this and couldn’t recommend it enough. Perfect for beginners and once you figure it out, you won’t buy a coffee chain coffee again!

10x better is a wild claim

Steaming milk for latte art! I’ve had mine for so long and still can’t figure out how to get the right texture

Oh Yay, Thank you!! I have this machine already and I need to dial it in! I was hoping you would do this! So excited!

I bought mine several years ago as a gift to myself. I love it. It's used daily and it makes my daily ritual so much better.

links to the accessories you got would be awesome too!

I’ve wanted this machine for YEARS, and being able to learn things I may not already know while I save is just awesome! Love your channel!!

Thank you Ethan for these videos ❤❤

It took me a bag of beans to get out right but I did! It is hands down a hundred percent better than anywhere else. I hate when I’m on the road and have to stop in to get some much needed coffee. I bring it to hotels with me also. Don’t give up! It’s worth it

Please make a detailed long form video on both your setups so that it’s easier to understand. Please name each thing so that we can find them while shopping.

I admire you Bruski, that helps a lot Good Job

Best way to determine the grind size

Awesome! I've been thinking about this for a long time, can't wait to see how to use it! Thanks!

I have the same machine and I love it. I am super excited to see all your videos on it! 😁

Show me, the Starbucks employee, the “beginner”

A dial in for beginners would be perfect, a lot of my friends have this machine and a short, simple guide would be amazing to show to them

Got this one, love it... it's so good

Had my since 2014 still runs like new

Ethan! I am now a proud owner of the barista express thanks to you. You have inspired me to explore the world of espresso and I can’t wait to keep learning from you. Thank you :)

Yay!!!! I’m excited to learn!

can you do a giveaway for this machine?! 😂 i’ve been wanting this machine for close to 3 years now

It’s no big deal to use, I’ve had mine for over 5yrs and it’s been great. Anyone who loves coffee can learn to use this fabulous piece of equipment. Enjoy

That’s a great looking cup of coffee ❤

Omg, this is my machine! So excited!

SO looking forward to this!! Been looking at the smaller version of this (the breville bambino) but don’t even know where to start!

I had this same machine, lasted me 6 years before it died. Really good machine served me well. I can’t afford one right now but plan to get a breville they make the best ones

I have the duo temp pro from breville and I love it! My coffee game is on point with a good grinder!!

I had the Breville Bambino for over 2 years. The best espresso machine I ever used

My husband and I have had this for a year about and love it. It’s really not hard at all. Once you get the grind and amount set your good to go.

I just bought this machine!! Please do some in depth milk tutorials. How long to steam and what techniques for latte vs cappuccino.

Mine sit in the counter for 2 years I just gave up so seeing the shorts randomly is quite greet I will follow you in that journey My coffee always come out dark and bitter what ever coffee i use

I don't have any questions anymore. I spent 2 years learning the best ways to use it and fine tuning it for the beans that I like. Best coffee decision I have ever made was getting this machine. Can't wait to see all the things I've been doing wrong to take my coffee making to the next level

I bet this would be the best unpacking 🎉🎉

I cannot wait to buy mine

A dial in video for this machine would be great

It's also identical to one from Sage and Gastroback. Sage also do a machine with a touch screen that guides you through the preparation and also has automatic Milch frothing etc. Certainly the best bang for buck espresso machine!

I’ve had one for a couple months and I still can’t get the latte art. Showing how to get quality latte art is a must

This was good. I was almost convinced to buy one.

I have this excat machine and I love it its so easy to work once u are taught how and Cana make really good coffee with the right beans

Use this machine for 4 years already. No problem at all. Strong machine. Daily 1 - 2 press

I don’t drink coffee so I don’t really care to know how to make it but I do enjoy watching others make it :)

Heyo! First wanted to say you inspired me to try out and become a home barista!❤️ If it is is possible, please make a short or even a video for the steam wand, how to use it, and how would you rate the steam wand compared to other steam wands you had access to! Thank you :)

Nice series idea! Although I have a Breville Dual Boiler myself, I'm interested to see this. Would be curious to see how you feel the grinder does compared to mid-range standalone grinders.

Maybe a full how to guide step-by-step from opening the box to everything in it and perhaps go as far as go through the list of things that you want to purchase that may not be included with the Box and perhaps resources like where to get the right kind of for the best kind of beans for Brewing which I'm sure you've mentioned but I haven't been able to see every little bit of your videos

just good old instant coffee for me

I’m using the same model and I can say the performance is great!!

I’ve learned how to make espresso on a basic Delonghi machine. However the pump is too weak to handle freshly ground coffee beans or I might need to upgrade to a less restrictive porta filter but, it helped me saved thousands on star bucks and I prefer light roast and medium roast coffee. Thinking about an ECM Classika, a Flair Pro, flair 58, or another machine that is high performing. I love my Normcore manual grinder and scale.

Just buy a Nespresso machine. So delicious and super easy!!

I’m excited! ❤

Best machine ever! I got the Solis barista express which I the exact same machine.

I’m debating rn whether I get the machine or not, regardless please do a series on it! There are too many people that get the machine and don’t know how to use it properly (including myself if I were to get one😂)

YES! Please explain it all because I bought one of these things and after countless YT videos I feel like my coffee is not turning out the way I want it to. Maybe I need some coffee bean recs too

Hey Ethan, can you show us your favorite extras for the machine?

Just got mine.. Its great and i love it. If your on the fence get it

Your unboxing videos is so thorough! I just got an espresso machine from Walmart and was pleasantly surprised by its good quality. Ever thought of unboxing it on your channel?

I got the same machine in 2018. Spent about a month figure out all the dos and Don'ts, have been making my own espresso since then. Big investment up front but probably would have spent 3x if I kept going to startbucks. Would recommend. However there is a problem with this ones design that it does not actually push 9 bars of pressure. There is a way to open it up and calibrate it to 9 bars. I would suggest if you want to make better espresso with it... that being said, I did not do this for the majority of the time and still enjoy the pulls I have gotten after finding right balance of grind size and water. James Hoffman has a great tutorial on YT for pulling espresso that I definitely suggest if your new to it. Good luck on your journey on learning it!

I grew up with this exact espresso machine. My dad still has this same machine 15 years later. Everyone swears by it

A lot of people don't realize it but you can put that funnel on the portafilter when you're grinding the beans. I personally have a breville and it makes my process cleaner and more efficient.

Can you teach us what syrups/where you get your ingrediants? It would be cool if you taught different shot types like Afogatto, Breve, 1/2 etc

I just wish you could also make some regular coffee with this

Amazing!

I've had mine for a decade I love it

What adjustments have you made? What was your process to dial it in?

I want the duel boiler model. This is pretty good tho.

Awesome machine 😊

Channelling! This is troubling me so much. I have the Bambino (the brevile express' baby brother) and it's known for producing sour espresso if not used well. Despite all my efforts I can see my shot speed up and blonde very quickly into the pull.

I have one and use it all the time. It’s great. Have a few videos on my channel of testing different espresso roasts and also a video on how to flush and descale the machine.

When will u do a studio tour

I've had one for years it's amazing 😂

It took me 6 months to master and many coffee bags of practice. I make the best lattes now.

Bought this exact model 7 years ago for like $300. We use it every day. It’s certainly paid for itself many times over.

I have the same machine, and indeed after a few months of ownership I still can't get a nice coffee. 😢 Looking forward to hear more about your series and how I can elevate my experience. Thanks 👍

I have this machine as well. It's great ❤

It cost more like $900 with tax . Best machine ever
