KES6403 Kitchenaid Espresso Machine making bad coffee? Watch this.
If you are frustrated with this machine, I share a few tips on how to configure it and, most importantly, select the right basket.
For those who don't want to watch the video, here are my suggestions:
1) When in doubt, use the pressurized basket. The coffee and grinder need to be of the highest quality to be able to use the other basket.
2) Ensure water temperature and hardness are programmed correctly. Select the hottest temperature and, when in doubt, select a higher water hardness.
3) Whole beans only, ideally stay away from pre-ground and/or old coffee.

Abyss w/ Bullseye Navior. Recommend this racer once you follow the junkyard strategy of getting top tier parts in the following categories (acceleration, top speed, handling, traction). This racer seems to be the most well-rounded if you go for upgrades in those categories. The trick to winning on this course is patience and braking. On almost every other course in this game, you can crash many...

    Thanks for informative video. If an espresso machine can't pull a GOOD shot of freshly ground coffee with non pressurized basket, i will throw it away instantly !

    Ok just got mine Sunday & I was ready to return it after getting it all set up because the coffee is sooo bitter. Excited to try your suggestions tomorrow. Also mine is pouring single shots on the double shot button. Any ideas about that?

    Alright I'm gonna give it a try in the morning. If I didn't care about going to sleep tonight, I'd try it right now, but it's 10:30pm. I've been using a bottomless portafilter with pretty good results, but I'm gonna try swapping the basket in it for the double wall basket and see what happens. Thanks for the suggestion.

    Espresso nerd here: Double walled filters will give you consistent not very good espresso but it’s doesn’t matter much how old your coffee is or how coarse or fine it is ground. To make a good espresso you’ll need: 1. A good grinder that can grind fine enough for espresso and will do that consistently so. Such grinders will cost a few hundred bucks or more. I would recommend a used commercial grinder if you can find the space for one. 2. Freshly (say 2 weeks old) roasted beans of preferably specialty coffee. Find one locally or order online. 3. A scale to measure the ground coffee and the coffee liquid that you brew. For espresso it’s 1:2. So 15g in, 30g out. A scale with 0.1g accuracy is key. 4. The willingness to learn how to dial in your grinder for your beans. Initially you should aim for an extraction time of about 25 seconds. Then you taste your espresso. If it’s too bitter, you should grind a bit courser. If it’s to sour, grind a bit finer. Watch James Hoffmann’s videos on how to make an espresso for more info. There are plenty other good channels too. PS please don’t buy ground coffee. It goes off after 10 minutes and after a few hours it will have lost all of its delicate flavours.

      I do, it mostly sits in the garage and I drive it a few times a week. It has 351k miles now. I picked up a 95 accord in 2020 that someone had sitting in their driveway not being used.

    @jamesgriffiths7170 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Love the video brother but that's about $100 shy of a proper espresso grinder. The grinder you're using will give you an inconsistent grind that needs a pressurized basket to achieve Crema. That's all it is. Grab the encore ESP and use that you'll be surprised. I agree good machine, but portafilter is terrible. You should just buy a new grinder and a bottomless and go to town.

    • @philipbair4795
      @philipbair4795 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thanks dude. I inherited the grinder from my dad, when it breaks I'll definitely get something premium. I appreciate your recommendation!

      Next time I will buy a breville. Buy once cry once as they say.

    Gotta say, other than the audio, which is something I still struggle with, the video you made for Scotty was excellent. I was surprised to find you don't have a more active channel with skills like that. I would have replied to your comment in his video, but he has me blocked from commenting. He actually has making any comment with my name in it blocked, hah. Was glad to see him feature a good BMW though. Nice to subvert his usual hatred for them a bit. Hope to see more vids from you in the future.

    • @philipbair4795

      Thanks man, why'd he block you on his channel? Appreciate the comment and the praise! I'm in grad school and don't have too much time for an active youtube channel, but it's definitely crossed my mind. Maybe if I get a "million-dollar idea" I might start creating regular content.

    Changed the air filter lately? I was amazed at what new plugs & an air filter did

    • @philipbair4795
      @philipbair4795 11 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yep, air filter is new as well as the plugs. As long as it's not causing any engine damage i'm ok with it, just wanted to make sure.. I guess I also have to get used to the fact that on a bike I'm going to be hearing and smelling a whole bunch of different things that I never notice while in a car.
