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 😂

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

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.”

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 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

Any coffee is better than Starbucks.

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

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

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. 👍🏼

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

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

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

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.

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

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.🤓

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

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

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!

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

10x better is a wild claim

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!!

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.

links to the accessories you got would be awesome too!

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.

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

Show me, the Starbucks employee, the “beginner”

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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 :)

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 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

Had my since 2014 still runs like new

What are your thoughts about getting this machine versus the Bambino plus a separate grinder?

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

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’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

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

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

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 :)

Best way to determine the grind size

Can you make a video adjusting the grind amount / size feature? I’ve had my machine for years and still don’t have that dialed in.

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.

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

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.

A dial in video for this machine would be great

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

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.

Omg, this is my machine! So excited!

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!

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

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

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😂)

Did you ever make a full video about this machine? I can't find it. I'm shopping for an espresso machine and keep coming back to this one, I'm mostly just concerned about the quality of the grinder

I have the same one but I don’t know how to make a good espresso or how much coffee to use

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

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

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

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

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

Can you do an unboxing and other equipment needed with the machine as well, and how durable it is(how often repairs are needed)

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 !

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

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.

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

Thank you Ethan for these videos ❤❤

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

Are you able to make a video of the tamper & other tools you recommend? I have the same machine as well with a love / hate relationship!

Me watching this drinking my black coffee

That’s a great looking cup of coffee ❤

I admire you Bruski, that helps a lot Good Job

I got this same machine off marketplace after a couple couldn’t figure out how to use it. Paid them 250 for it. I’ve used it almost every day for 4 years now

can you list the products that were shown in this short?

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

I just got a different breville machine. I think the hardest part is figuring out the grind. I’ve gone through almost a whole bag of beans and still haven’t dialed it in

I got halfway through this video before realising it wasnt Nick Digiovanni

Bought it for my barista wife when she turned 30. Had it for 3 years now. Never going back to regular

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 don't have a 2-hour coffee break, so I can't prepare a coffee with this machine.

I got the barista pro version. Best purchase iv ever made. Took a week to perfect the technique but it's well worth it

Just bought this machine can you please do a tutorial on how to pull good espresso shots timing also the grinder I want number to set an on and tips and tricks

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

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 good old instant coffee for me

I've been struggling with the espresso water ratio. Any tips on customizing it?

I have one of these but cant really figure it out. I either get too little pressure and around 10 seconds of extraction with a coarser grind or way too much pressure with a finer one

Can you do a video to teach how to foam milk. The wand is so weak and i struggle to make good foam for latte art with that same machine

When will u do a studio tour

I cannot wait to buy mine
