Before you insert the portafilter and pull a shot, press the shot button and get rid of the burst of steam. Improves the shot and it even says to do it in the manual. Only run it until the steam comes out.
@@Coffeewithjoshh no, he really meant the group head. Bambino plus is notorious for superheating the water on standby, so it's best to let the steam come out first before you insert the portafilter
@@Coffeewithjoshh No, it's even in the manual to purge the group head before pulling a shot. Give it a go without the portafilter in and you'll see a hit of steam come out during the pre-infusion stage. You want to get rid of that before you pull a shot. It's a characteristic of the jet boil system.
@@Makwayne pre infusion is a small amount of water released at a lower pressure (less than 9bar) to soak the coffee puck first. This is done as it sets the coffee puck meaning when the higher pressure comes through after the pre infusion, it makes it less likely you will get gaps in the puck to cause channeling 👍🏻
It’s called a “bellow”, & yes it’s to get all the coffee out. If you type your grinder & “bellow” there will most likely be one. For the Sage grinder I have a link in my linktree in bio
nice routine I chose to dump those dosing rings which leave this "outer ring" where there is no coffee I think it completely erases all the WDT work you have done before.
@@WatchWithMeTH-cam it will most likely by John Watts, “light espresso roast” but it’s actually a medium roast & it’s a Blend of African and Central American beans. (It doesn’t have a strength number)
That is entirely up to what beans you use. There's no way around having to dial in the beans yourself. Unfortunately, you'll have to waste a few shots to dial in the beans you have, especially if you switch beans regularly. If you stick with 1 bean for the rest of your life, then you can set the grind size and forget about it, although every single batch of roasted coffee will still require different grind size, but it's really close that only a little adjustment is needed.
@@KnoelsNook I still have it, I will probs make a video in the future again with it. But it was time to get something with a bit better of a milk frother :),
@@LeCreativeMind that’s how you pull a manual shot, hold it down, the longer you hold it the longer the pre infusion lasts, then once you are done, press the button again and it stops
@@MrJeff2048 thanks :), I think people get confused about baskets & portafilters thinking because the portafilter isn’t bottomless they possibly think it’s pressurised, which it’s not!
That is a very noisy steamer. That thumping will get annoying very quickly. Trying to hide it with music is dishonest. The ascaso has the same problem. It seems to be due to the thermoblock.
@@johnhoyle4401 yes it is loud, unsure where you have got that I’m trying to hide it? Adding the music is not to try hide anything, it doesn’t affect me if sage products are loud, I don’t work for anyone 🤣🤣🤣

Are you confusing the steam wand with the portafilter? I already purge my steam wand

@@dimasbimasunyoto7706 ahh the group head! Thank you! I’ll do some research, thanks for highlighting

loved the video
Can you explain what is the 5 second pre infusion?

this rubber (?) thing at the top of the grinder , is for making all the coffee fall , without having any loss? can it be put at any grinder?

Buddy which coffee beans are you using , origin , strenght number , roast level. Thanks

I use the exact same little plastic dish for weighing my beans
I have the same two machines, what grind setting do you use?

Is that about 60ml of coffee on the preset 2 cup button?
Hi it’s probs more like 40ml. Ignore google, a double shot should be about 32-44ml of coffee (depending how many grams of coffee you use)
Aww why did you get rid of the stilosa 😂

Why are you holding the double shot button for such a long time?
@@LeCreativeMind that’s how you pull a manual shot, hold it down, the longer you hold it the longer the pre infusion lasts, then once you are done, press the button again and it stops
What is your inner burr set to?
Hi I can’t remember atm,
Why do all the puck prep just to use the pressurized basket?
@@zhibinhuang4375 it’s not a pressurised basket, it’s the non- pressurised sage basket with the stock portafilter,
You can tell at 34s mark it has lots of holes not 1 central one - it's the unpressurized one.
