@@corichen3749 Usualy the rule of thumb is to steam slightly under the milk surface (where the milk "sings") until the can reaches body temp - then sink it in deep, tilted on the side of the can to stir the air under. On this machine (I've used the sage variant) you want to sink the steam wand in earlier than usual - i have no clue why but that made all the difference for me. Hope it helps!

@AricMcT6 ай бұрын
1. Extraction time and extracted volume are good metrics to look out for. It's always trial and error - start very fine and work your way up. 2. Can't help you there 3. This often comes down to your grinder. Cheaper grinders have more variation in particle size and tend to output more "clumps" of powder. The particle size defines how evenly the taste is extracted (see over-/underextraction). The clumps often result in channeling which is just water shooting through and litaraly watering down your shot. Using a wdt tool could help with the latter. Hope that helps :)

A scale and WDT tool. Scale will help you dial in your ratio and help you problem solve. 1:2 for Dark roasts, 1:3 for light roats. 30 seconds pull. If you put in 18 grams of dark, in 26-30 sec you should be pulling 36 grams. Start there.

A big tip which helped me dial in the correct pressure was to change the internal grind size. When I first got the machine I didn't realise the coffee grinder inside the top had a separate grind size to the dial on the side. If this is the first time you're trying this I'd recommend an internal grind size of 2 and then the dial on about a 5-6. Then maybe work from there, you're looking for pressure at the top end of the grey block on the pressure scale and an extraction time of about 20-25 seconds I find.

I'm a barista I can help you with this. You need to understand first single espresso is around 30 ml and you need to take 14g of coffee. espresso extracting time is between 18 sec to 25sec. There's only two settings in grinder fin and course if you espresso coming to fast you need to do fin and if it's coming late you need to do course

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.
@Thekickstand6 ай бұрын
Even the big professional machines require constant adjustments during the day when being used. The grinder is fine you just need to learn to move the dials when required (how fine and how long).
@MaheerKibria6 ай бұрын
@@ThekickstandI'm not talking through the day. I'm talking subsequent shots for breakfast. Unless you let the machine preheat. The first shot and second shot will have different extractions.

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 !
@johnnyb13683 ай бұрын
keeping your coffee stored in the refrigerator is not the best advice, every time you open the bag of coffee it will draw in moisture, either freeze a portion of your coffee beans and keep the rest in a dry dark place away from heat. everything else you said is great advice 👍

@@johnnyb1368 interesting point. i've thought about that, but -20C seems a bit harsh, although i've stored at -20C un-opened; at +3C, any extra moisture from a quick open-re-seal, so far, for me, has kept the beans fresh, tasty & pulling consistently right to the end.... certainly, compared to years of dry & dark at room temp.
