Mine doesn't clean at all. No beeping.

56 grams in 31 seconds pulled from 20 grams of beans?! 😮 That’s too fast! You’re drinking lime juice. Slow it down. Go finer👍🏼👍🏼

how does the program button work

Great video! Straight to the point! I appreciate you!

What is your grind setting on the top grinder under the hopper?

I've just got my express impress. I'm still confused as to differentiating between making a latte or cappuccino or even a normal flat white. In a different video as far as I could see the only difference seemed to be in technique of swirling or steaming the milk. I was a bit dismayed at this because there's no obvious indicator that I'm going to be doing each one right. Please can you try to clarify. Thanks.

Hi how about a link for the coffee cup

If you're machine gave you 15g by default and you put 18g in the hopper you're still only going to get 15g unless you increase the output on the machine to have it dispense 18g which you did not mention if you did indeed do that.

This is very helpful tips , thank you.

how do you make a double shot espresso with 18g of coffee? the brew ratio would be way off if your yield is that high. Am I wrong?

What difference would using the single shot function make?

Ive set the grind size to 1 and i still get just 23sec

So helpful!

30 seconds is to long , rule of thumb 15-20 seconds for a nice extraction

Please help. What is your burr size? My brand new machine got jammed and the grinder is not working. Had to clean everything and see if it is fixed now. Thanks

I've just done my first cleaning with the tablet (after around 2 months of use) and noticed that the pressure does not max out. Any ideas why? Please note that I've newer model, so there should be no water coming out and the pressure should be maximum (I assume?).

The milk was steamed wrong for latte art..

What is a good setting to keep it on? I know that there’s an inner one and an outer one. I’ve seen people do five on the outer one and four on the inside one or seen people say do eight on the outside one and three on the inside one I honestly have no idea what to do. I want to make a good dark espresso drink with some syrup and chocolate sauce with ice. I’ve never had an espresso machine. This is my first one. I just bought it someone tell me some tricks.

I have the perfect pressure but the flow lasts than 28 seconds. What shall I do? My grind setting is at 4. I’ll go crazy

What number ur grinder is set from the inside ?

All my issues came from not weighing out my beans/grind. Thank you so much!!!

Great job, only thing I would do is descale first and then back flush 👍

Thanks for vid. My concern with this recipe is pulling a weak 56 gram shot and then adding 1:1 milk. That really blunts the flavor of the coffee and seems like a recipe designed to just fill the cortado cup. I typically do like a 32 gram (1-to-2) shot and then add about 35-40 grams of micro-foam milk (2% works great). You get a rich full-flavored drink with a deep mahogany color and chocolaty flavor. Nothing better!

my machine does not enter into descaling mode when i press the 2 cup button and power button at the same time

👍👍👍👍 I have the same coffee machine at home, but I can’t set it to get big pressure. I have the arrow reaching just above the darkened zone, but never once went to the high pressure zone. How did you manage to get high pressure?

What was the pressure?

Can some espresso/coffee beans give off a black hue? I use dark roast beans but my creme isnt as golden as that but the extraction pressure is in range on the machine.

For you new folks! The key here is consistency and changing ONE thing at a time. I would start with weight (18-19g is what this machine likes but keep it the same always), and tamping force. Make sure those two things stay the same!!! Then all you have to do is lock in your grind setting. Every machine is different so don’t go by or expect the same settings from your friends machine. You may need to adjust the inside bur but remember, one step at a time. Only do this if you are maxed out on either end of the external grind adjustment wheel. You may be very far off in which case you could adjust more than one click.

Where do you have at grinder on top?

Mine it's not making the expesso hot, did you know if there's something that I have to do before? Do I have to wait some time or something like that?

I have a question regarding this, how do you dial the recipe in? For example if I coarsened my current grind to allow 20 - 30 seconds extraction to yield 50g I’d end up with a bitter drink. Obviously a lighter roasted coffee will allow you to extract longer than a darker roast but I’m confused how you can pull a lungo with the right balance of sour/bitter.

what size is your inside burr grinder on?

Nice video! Didn't know about the manual mode.

Hi! How long does it take to make a cappuccino with the Barista Express?

Is it normal that the machine sounds like its going to blow up everytime you heat up milk? Lmao I just got a machine and thinking of returning it

Using these exact settings on mine with fresh beans, I was able to get the best pull I ever got in my year of owning the machine. Thank you!

How long are you "barely submerged" before you fully submerge to avoid creating a lot of foam?

You should try Cashew Milk

18 grams in my double shot puck is soooooo overfilled. It only really fits like 15 grams comfortably. What’s the deal?

Just got my wife this for Christmas yesterday and we’re having such a tough time getting to that sweet spot!!

Just got this machine today and I love this recipe. Thanks!

I thought ristretto is a shorter pull and lungo is longer?

I don’t see anything particularly healthy about this.

2 fl oz = 59.147059125 g , so It’s not 1:2 ratio.. Or I don’t understand something 😅 sorry I’m new to espresso machine, I get exactly what you are saying out of 18grams of beans I’m getting around 2fl. oz of espresso drink but it’s not the 1:2…

Luv it

Thanks this fixed my machine that wasn't frothing milk properly anymore

Thanks for the video!

I don’t know why. But when I do that the water comes out the portafilter. I use the single basket and the cleaning disc but the water comes out. 🤷🏻‍♂️ The water don’t pass through the valve.

About how many seconds do you aerate?
