Yes, i agree it can be very frustrating, and what makes it worse is Breville never shows up to address this issue, which appears to be a very common issue among the Barista Pro version. It just leaves it to the end user to figure out a way or, in some cases, like in my case, drive me away from the brand. I am glad actually I had used this and had the experience, which pushed me to more towards the semi-professional machine.

In a way I agree with you. Nowadays, the only thing I measure is the weight of the beans.

Sorry about the music. The key here is the time it takes to grind. I will lower the volume of the music if I am paying attention to the grinding sound. Thanks for the feedback.

Haha I feel you. That is also the reason I am keeping the direct lever configuration for now as I tend to grind too fine. But i enjoy the low pressure preinfusion up for 1.5 min and slowly ramp up the pressure and get a really syrupy shot.

Haha sorry about that. I will try to make another one soon!

You mean the facial mask?

Well. We spend time doing it and we will have to charge as we have rental and fees to pay.

@@CaffeMartellaSingapore I understand the need to make a living and work shouldn't be free, but if I pay for a service like this I would expect more than what you showed in the video. as an example, I was really looking forward to you opening up the plasma generator, maybe testing it to see if it is working, doing a more in depth cleaning on that, perhaps taking the burrs apart to clean them exec.

@waldip4474 this is the gen 1 without the plasma ioniser. int t his situation, the choking is due to loading too much beans at one goal. And hence the job is the remove the clog and the choke coffee ground.

@@CaffeMartellaSingapore are you not referring to the df64? I was not aware that there is a gen2 of the DF54

Thank you for watching my videos!

To be honest, it will be. Making coffee will have some mess. This grinder is not the best at reducing that mess to zero, but it's a very good grinder that is going to give you the taste.

Sadly no as the machine uses a 3 fin style portafilter. But it can use any 58mm filter basket. Congrats on the good machine and the choice of puck screen is good too!

@@CaffeMartellaSingapore Thanks for the help, so even if I found a filter holder with three fins it wouldn't be ok? Thanks again and congratulations for the great videos you make👏👏

@TheNokx thank you for the support of my YT channel! I am not sure the other after market 3-fin portafilter that can fit the SMEG though.

Thanks for watching my videos! Glad that you like it

I am loving my direct lever setting so much that I have yet to switch to the spring version. I think it's time that I switch soon to try.

I just figured it would be good for a consistent shot so you have less variables to deal with when tweaking your recipe

@CH-yp5by in that aspect yes. However I constantly like to change my pressure base on the coffee, grind setting, roast level and age of the beans, hence I like the flexibility of the direct lever.

Thanks for the tips. Milk can be steamed as good even if you rest the milk jug horizontally. The key lies in the position of the steam wand. It's either you tilt the jug to suit the position of the steam wand or vice versa. Anyway thanks for the tip again!

Yes it is a good machine and I am still using it.

@ any flaws ? I’m tired of comparing machines and am not sure what’s the best between this machine the legato and Breville bambino and gaggia classic pro 😅

@alialjarwan8679 bambino plus if you like the auto frothing features. I like the 3007L as its a great entry level priced machine with semi professional use. 58mm size standard portafilter and ability to switch from brew to steam directly is a win for me.

@alialjarwan8679 get the latest version as shown in Lance video and I believe it's a great machine.

@@CaffeMartellaSingapore what about the warranty ?

I think there is. However, as I no longer use this machine and have it with me, I can not do the test to find out. I would suggest you to test without preinfusion first. Get the correct grind size and the bean to espresso ratio of 1 : 2 to 1: 2.5 in about 30s. Get the extraction right without preinfusion first. Preinfusion does help with a more even extraction though but it is not a must.

Hi first, thanks for watching my videos, buddy! Usually, I don't stall a full 250g in the hopper. However, this. grinder needs some beans in order to press the beans down to the burrs and get grinded. So I will recommend 100g of beans in the hopper and I always use the time grinding function to test for a specific grind size, I always go for 18g of the coffee ground out in whatever time it needs to grind. Most importantly, it is grinding to a fixed output. And it's a standard 1:2 ratio for beans to espresso. Hope that helps!

@@CaffeMartellaSingapore I really thank you for your help, you were very clear in the explanation...thanks again

@TheNokx always welcome my friend and thanks for watching my videos. I'm glad that it helps.

Well, the built-in grinder does a decent job in producing a decent filtered coffee lacking in many aspects. Mostly, the built-in grinder produces coffee that is muddy, unbalanced coffee usually swing towards higher acidity (not the pleasant kind) and lacking in sweetness as compared to coffee grinded from other stand alone grinder such as the DF64 with SSP Burrs. The current one i am using is lab sweet, and hence, the sweetness and balance are such a drastic difference against the built-in grinder.

Haha yeah but i think it may be suitable for cafe use.

Which temperature did you measure? Water coming out of the group or water coming out of the portafilter? Either one will have the temperature drop drastically unless all the metal parts are all heat up properly.

Hahaha...i am unwell roasting through all the beans during the comp and that may have affected my tasting on the coffee.

That I can't really comment.

Thank you!

I believe it's one of the best value machine specs that rival lelit bianca but much much much cheaper.

It's a very good machine with similar specs to lelit bianca but way cheaper in price. Gemilais quality is pretty decent.

Thanks JC!

Hi the only reason that I don't.carry this model anymore is the size of the machine. It's too big for most home butinn terms of espresso quality and there stability its good.

Hi Gwen!

Haha thank you for tolerating that.

My grinder just arrived today, haven't used it but I have the breville barista express with the grinder included. Maybe you're grinding too fine also try spraying your beans with water and give them a little shake? If it doesn't work maybe try different fresher roasted beans. If that does not work either maybe your machine is defective or it's not aligned?

Try to pour in the beans while the grinder motor is on. I have no issue with the grinder choking u less you are grinding too fine or pouring too much beans at one go.

I think it is a neat little machine and I love the form factor. If you can managed the heat and grind setting? It makes good espresso.

To be honest, I have no idea!

I actually have the Space model and it's great.

Thank you Gwen and as always appreciate your support!

I understand that coffee is not that complicated. ☕ To make good coffee, it takes some effort.

Me too

It is likely that your capacitive water level sensor has gone wrong. To fix it, you need to peel off the sticker covering the hole on the side and press the button under it with the container removed. A strip will run across the screen. Then interrupt the process by unplugging the wire from the socket. Next, insert the container with water, plug it in and watch the strip run across the screen again. It runs and will be calibrated. Use it.
