Great timing! I started doing just this on my BBE literally yesterday (on BBE you hold any shot button for as long as you want to pre-infuse)! I see first drops and let go of the button around 11-12 second mark. Had the same observation that I need to grind finer than with standard preinfusion. Light roast shots pulled this way come out really nice! Smooth, no harshness, sweet; still quite bright/acidic but not overpoweringly, lemony acidic. Regardless, still have to pull pretty long shots though to really tame that acidity - 18in/42 out or more

Low flow is talking about output into the cup, and pressure is relating to the resistance the water has meeting the puck. You can have low pressure and high flow if your grind is coarse (turbo shots) but you have a low pressure low flow when your grind is dialed in to creating resistance

So, I'm gonna try to answer your question about low pressure pre infusion vs slayer mod: But first, congrats on your videos, I've watched them more than once. I had a La Pavoni, but I hope to soon be able to buy a BDB. Meanwhile, I watch BDB videos to taper the upgradeitis, and yours is the best on KZfaq! The slayer mod is useful throughout the shot: you can (1) manipulate the flavor and texture by changing the flow profile (like a londinium style, where you taper the pressure at the second half or so of the shot, to keep the coffee flow constant as the puck degrades and it's resistance gets lower), or by doing slow ramp ups and downs of pressure, etc. This can be better controlled by coupling the machine with a scale that shows live liquid flow. and (2) salvage shots that would flow too quickly in a flat pressure profile, and otherwise be underextracted. The low pressure pre infusion is useful because the lower flow of water can allow for the puck to expand slowly and in a more uniform way, thus lowering the chance of channels when the full flow of water is happening. If the puck were exposed to this higher flow from the beginning, the puck expansion would be different, and less uniform. Lance Hedrick has a nice video about it! It is the one where he talks about whether this is te end game machine! Also, Kyle Rowsell has a video on shot profiles!

Maybe it's the coffees that I have these days but they seem less finicky OR I'm less finicky or a combination of both. I still track and tweak my coffees but once I'm quite dialled in with my KEY (which is also very consistent), if I like the flavour in the cup and I'm content enough, I don't infinitely keep tweaking to make it marginally better. "Meanwhile, I watch BDB videos to taper the upgradeitis, and yours is the best on KZfaq!" 1. watching videos will only ENHANCE the upgradeitis haha 2. Thank you for the kind words! Comments like these keep me going.

Wish I had found this video sooner. I’ve been struggling to pull a shot with what I now know is a light roast. Figured longer pre-infusion might help. Looks like I didn’t let it go long enough. I had the pre-infusion set to 25 seconds. Still didn’t make it to first drip. I’ll give your manual trick a try this afternoon.

@GadgetsGearCoffee Жыл бұрын

How did it go? coffee is a finicky thing and every bean and batch tends to be different, so you have to constantly tweak and go back to the basics. If even at 25s pre-infusion you didn't get first drips and it looks like the it's choking, go coarser, slightly more than you think, then work you way back to fine to get the right extraction!

I never thought I’d like a coffee like this, it tasted a wee bit funky at first, but I’m hooked and keep coming back to it. Looking for natural/washed combos that are closer to the Sonoran desert. Hate to ship coffee around the world. I have tried everything from Mostra to Vibrant to Onyx to Tony’s to Hatch. Hatch has some of my all time faves too. Their Gamma and Blackout are my chocolate choice faves. Curious what your faves are.

@@GadgetsGearCoffee yeah SweetShop has never been as good as the first time. I’m searching for something funky like the first time. It was sweet and sour at the same time. Subsequent batches are good but never as funky as that first time. And once you have tasted that “god shot” you are forever jaded. Nothing is quite as good. Plus I’m on a Bambino until my BDB arrives. My Barista Touch’s grinder started acting up so I had to return it. Trying to pull a good shot on a smaller machine is so much harder. Flow is higher it seems and I think it’s set up for dual wall portafilter primarily so I’m wresting with that too. Wasted a lot of good beans this week. 🤪

@adammilad4994 2 жыл бұрын

Have you tried doing the “slayer style” shot without the mod? Basically turn the hot water slightly open which diverts water from the group head to the hot water tap and limits the flow into the puck (mine can get as low as about 2ml per second). Usually I just set my pre infusion pressure to 55% then hold the manual button down, once I hit 3 bar I open the dial slightly to hold it at 3 bar until I’m happy with my saturation (I usually wait until there is 10% extracted in the cup which is 3-4g). I then release the manual button and close the dial allowing it to reach 9 bars. I then do a level style finish by slowly opening the dial to slowly bring the pressure down until I’m done. So usually goes for a 2:1 ratio with 40g out: 0-3 bar until drops form Hold 3 bar until 3-4g in the cup Allow it to get to 9 bar Once around 20-25g slowly open valve and bring pressure down to 5-6 bar until 40g out Only 2 issues with this compared to the proper mod is that a) you waste water and b) if you open the dial too much it diverts all the water from the group to the hot water. There is only a small window to open but it’s more than enough to play around with the flow.

@GadgetsGearCoffee 2 жыл бұрын

I've heard of that mod and hadn't tried it cuz of the water waste but I suppose I could give it a go a few times to see if slayer mod would be worth it. I think slayer mod would be helpful for super light roasts, which I've had a few times. Most of the time it's a med light to light and this has been working out. The only diff with the water valve and slayer mod seems to be the slower ramp up to 9 and tapering down to 5-6 bar at the end but the puck erosion at the end doesn't seem to be an issue for me.

@@GadgetsGearCoffee you can catch the water in a cup and use it for something else or put the water back into the water tank. Also since you only open the hot water spigot a little to control the flow at the grouphead, not a lot of water comes out. For two shots in the morning with this mod, I'm only using around 20ml of extra water, which is literally a drop in the bucket. To do this mod, you need to open up the top and just adjust the position of the switch at the hot water knob. Very easy to do and easily reversible, also, no need to touch the water pipes. I've been using the mod mainly to lower the pressure at the end of the extraction of the medium roast coffee. The bitterness of the extracted espresso has reduced a lot.

I’m reluctant to go for the slayer mod so will give this a try. 2 questions if you don’t mind, first how does this impact your work flow? I also start my day with a flat white but steam and extract at the same time, this method will prevent that. Secondly I love light roasts but tend to prefer washed rather than natural when making milk based drinks, I’m not a fan of the fermented notes I get. Do you find this method brightens and cleans up the taste of naturals? I have a Niche Zero which is also has a conical burr set (I think maybe a bit smaller than your Weber?) so that may be a contributing factor.

I have a review of the Sette 270 (as well as the 270 vs WW Key) so yes I do have experience. It can grind fine enough, sometimes grinding too fine can do some weird things so if anything go coarser and adjust and then go finer incrementally. If you have a dark roast and are doing this long pre-infusion, I think it might give a low pressure for the rest and come out super fast.

The grind is def finer for this method which I think is exposing the limitations of my grinder. Some shots are bonkers, others...not so much. There's so many things to noodle, and I find it hard to isolate what factors are impacting my flavor. Temp? pre-infusion pressure? Profile? Duration?

not sure if I got it. you hold the button then let it go after the first drops so it reaches the full pressure? but at the end how come you were still pressing the button? 🤔 What I saw people doing was setting the pre infusion to 60'' then setting the pump pressure(pp) to ,for example 71 ,so the machine would never reach the 9 bar during the extraction.

aha so I wrote the wrong thing on the video I think that's where the confusion is. While it's extracting my finger is on the MANUAL button but NOT PRESSING, the MANUAL button. "To manually control the low pressure pre-infusion duration, press and hold the MANUAL button. When the required pre-infusion duration is met, release button to begin full pump pressure. Press MANUAL button again to stop extraction."

Hi jeeeeeess!!! Tnx for this video!! Short question: how could I set the pressure to reach 7 and not 9 bars during full pressure extraction phase? I use manual preinfusion and at about 20 secs I start seeing first drops, but with my light roast coffees as soon as the pressure jumps to 9 bars, espresso loses body and structure… I would like to extract at 7 bars but don’t know how to set up the pump pressure. Do you think that slayer mod is mandatory to achieve this??? Thanks a lot again!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Hi! Technically you could open it up and adjust OPV (pressure) but slayer mod (water flow but will affect pressure at the puck) is also a possibility

I suggest doing lower pressure shots in general for all coffee. If you dont want to mod the OPV then just adjust preinfusion (PI) time to a higher number and PI pump pressure to 68-72% and do a full PI shot. Try 6/7/8 bar shots and see what works best for your coffee

Why not lower than 68%? I've put it to the lowest on 55%.

What basket are you using? My IMS 18g is driving me crazy cause of the fancy nano, non-stick coating my puck always ends up stuck to the shower screen even when I drop my dose to 16g with a deeper tamp. Seeing your puck stay nice and intact in the portafilter, especially after the long pre-infusion really makes me want to switch my IMS. Oh, and as a bonus, it's not magnetic which I also discovered after buying it.

@@GadgetsGearCoffee Can't use stock cause of my OCD for leaving accessories untouched for potential resell, will probably try VST then haha. Oh, and I'm sure plenty of people already told you, but have you tried the Minor Figures oat milk for your flat whites? It's sweet (so you could stop using you know what) and brings out the florals of the coffee really nicely which is something I can't say about Oatly or Mylk for example.

Slayer mod allows lower pressure, not full pressure.

slayer mod is full pressure, low flow, it will affect the pressure reading though but not the pressure of the water. It's odd and took me a while to understand

would that/is there a BDB version though? BDB isn't an E61 group head. They have their own thing. I also never upgraded the basket because I had once read: I just upgraded to the BDB and most of the consensus on Espresso Afficianados is that the Breville stock baskets are very good. There are cases where the higher flow VST or IMS baskets are useful, but most will tell you there isn’t a reason to upgrade other than curiosity (legitimate reason tho!).

@@GadgetsGearCoffee when I got my BDB I immediately switched out the baskets just because of past experience and the quality of the holes and corner curvature. It’s not expensive so it wasn’t a problem. But the differences in just the VST and IMS are clear and those are two mainly used baskets. I have now come to favor the forgiving nature of the VST lately for light roasts.

you are really off with the names of the espressos....ristretto is a 1:1 ratio (dose: yield) example if you use 18 grams for ristretto you should have 18 grams. extraction time is about 17 seconds. Flatt white is made with 2 shots of espresso( 1:2 ratio) and about 4 oz of milk. Get your staff straight ...just bla bla bla bla

@GadgetsGearCoffee 2 жыл бұрын

from what I've read/seen, there is a lot of debates on ratios and quantities for both ristretto and flat white. Also, if you literally google ristretto shot, the first thing that comes up is: "The ristretto shot is also known as a restricted shot, and typically features a brew ratio between 1:1 and 1:1.5. A traditional espresso is typically 1:2-1:2.5 and a lungo, or long shot, is usually about 1:3." Flat whites are also about 4oz, across the board.

All good jesse a ristretto is anything between a 1:1 to a 1:5 so it is a ristretto👍
