Cool! Been searching vlogs about the breville barista express, we just got one the other day. Thanks for this.
You are welcome. Enjoy your new toy! 🤗
I'm really pleased with this video, thank you so much! There was a silky thing that I liked more: your milk didn't vaporized enough for a latte art, and we just realize it when we try to make a draw and we get only the remaining foam in the pitcher's bottom hahahaha same as me, it happens all the time 😂
I am planning to buy a coffee machine soon. This video definitely helps! Thanks!
Remeber, your first coffee will be very awful as everyone elses was. Just practice :)
Just learn the art myself, but a tip I really like is to weigh your dose of beans and only put them in the hopper - saves time messing about with the grinder. Aldi, tap the portafilter whilst grinding, helps to distribute and less mess pulling out. Happy espresso 👍
I actually did try that but it i noticed that what i put (whole beans) doesn’t equate to the output (ground beans) so for the sake of practice, i just put a bunch coz anyway im gonna finish them most likely right away. But thanks for the tip 😁
hhh-hhhh i love that art ... 🤣🤣
😍😍😍❤❤❤👌👌👌
When that happens to me, I cheat and run a toothpick down the center to get a "perfect" heart. Thanks for sharing your video!
Hi there, I'm a brasita in a cafe and am watching your video as I recently got this machine for myself at home.
I find you only need to tamp once with constant pressure over tamping will stop the water flow and not enough pressure will make the water come out too fast. In saying that the head for the coffee is smaller than commercial coffee so it took me quite a few crappy shots to figure out the right pressure. Then we changed beans and I had to do it all over again 😒😒 haha
I also learn that the cups on the machine doesn't equal how many shots. Made much better coffee shots once I figured that out.
Lovely video! Keep up the good practice
Edit:
I watched more of your videos and you have gotten way better! The new tamper is awesome
Very nice video production BTW 👍
Awww glad u appreciate it 😌 thank u
Had mine just over a year now
Just got mine today. Never made real espresso before and honestly im afraid to. Lets how many bags of beans it takes me to get it right
The more knowledge, less waste.
After 4 months, did you get it?
@@xsplosion044 yes. Really no issues except i had a lot of grounds wasted that fell off the top of the porta filter when dispensing from the grinder. Ive definitely got the hang of it now and waste no more grinds. I will never return to a drip.coffee machine. Love my breville
Pede na magtayo ng coffee shop☕😊
Palitan ko ang vendo machine natin malapit sa OR 🤣 or dun ako pwesto sa free karak dati. Haha
This video is so pleasing to watch. Great aesthetics!
Thank you ☺️
I want this espresso machine so bad this is why I watch videos on this.
Hi! I was wondering if you could help me troubleshoot? I seem to have all the coffee extracted in the pre-infusion section. I've increased the grind amount as well as set the grind size to finer for a slower extraction, but nothing seems to be working. Would love some advice!
Adjust your top burr
@@slow_clumsy Are the upper burrs always too high out of the box? I've been having trouble trying to make the machine choke even at the finest setting.
@@rahulm9147 no, they're just at a somewhat "regular" position. If you're having trouble it's probably your beans, what beans you use?
@@slow_clumsy I've tried a few versions -- storebought as well as freshly roasted in a local store. The pressure ends up in the normal range, but I do not go over 20 odd seconds (including pre infusion) with 18g in with a non pressurized double basket. It seems quite a way away from the recommended 30s some people suggest. Grind size is down at around 2
@@rahulm9147 then you just need to adjust you top burr down 2 numbers, it just mean that your burr is high when it came stock. All the machines/grinders are different
I just bought the same coffee machine today.
Yey! Congrats!
I have the same machine and I am learning latte art as well. Small tip：make espresso first; your milk looks too thin, means you need to add more air to create micro foams
I wouldn't make the espresso first, a shot dies very quickly and as this machine is a single boiler you are better off doing the milk first
lavaza coffee your using how does it taste? is it good ? im looking to buy but im not sure which brand .
Hi, this video is quite old already. Can’t recommend lavazza beans now. Better find a roaster near you and get freshly roasted beans from them.
What number do you have the grind set too?? I’m having a hard time reaching the espresso range ☹️
Have you tried changing the upper burr setting?
video of how to adjust the top burr if you need to th-cam.com/video/QNvOcE4-VEo/w-d-xo.html
This is double shot right?
You might need more practice but your videos are a pleasure to watch. Keep it up :)
Thank you 😊
Hi. How did your pressure goes to espresso range? It doesn't work for me
He is using the pressurized basket.
Hi, im using pressurized basket in this video since this was when i just got the machine and didn’t know how to dial properly yet.
If u check my latest ones, been using non pressurized single wall basket. Just keep on dialing until u reach the desired pressure.
We just bought ours today! Black Friday sale :) I'm excited for better coffee but nervous I'll break the machine LOL. Thank you for your videos!
Yey! Super lucky u got it on sale. Congrats and enjoy the journey 😁
@@KatEsclamado Thank you! Will be watching your videos and following along :)
@Elil How much was this during the Black Friday Sale?
How long did you leave the coffee « cook » in that group head before extraction ? Do it right away next time, you’ll notice the difference
Hi thanks. Kindly see my latest videos 🤗 this was when i just got the machine. Thanks for your tips.
@@KatEsclamado will do😎keep up the good work
This music tho… I watched twice just to vibe lol.
Name/artist?
Nice Kat😘 -suyen
ate, thank you. ☺️ stay safe po
Pressurized baskets keep your tamp lighter
Where can I buy this kind of machine?
Hello. Bought mine online. You can check there main website too!
I would pull the shot first or do it at the same times as frothing the milk so the foam in the milk doesn’t separate!
I hope you know that this machine isn’t a dual boiler
@@KatEsclamado oooh now I know! t
Is it good for commercial use?
Hello, i’d say no. This machine apparently is not built for commercial use. However, i highly recommend it for coffee enthusiasts/home barista. :)
so....this machine can t make proper foam for latte art?
Check my latest videos pls thanks
Hi? Where can I get this machine though?
Depends where ur based from. But u should be able to find it online. :)
What coffee bean do you use?
I use arabica coffee beans, i buy them from Arabica cafe. I also buy from a local cafe called Cartel cafe here in UAE 🇦🇪.
@@KatEsclamado What coffee bean should i use when making an iced french vanilla and caramel macchiato?
Hello :) I’m curious to know What’s the 1) internal burr grinder setting and 2) external grind setting and 3) Filter basket size (pressurized or non-pressurized) that you are using in this video to make your latte? I have the same Breville and also using the same Lavazza beans, but my espresso doesn’t pull slow like yours and my pressure never goes into the balanced espresso pressure range. This would really help if you could share how you set yours up. Thank you!
Hi. External and internal grind size was 6, dose was 16g. Used pressurized double basket. :)
But now im using non-pressurized double basket. Internal burr is still 6 but the external grind size is at 3. Grind dose is 17-18g. I get a good pressure with this setting and nice espresso. Same beans. 🤗
Kat Esclamado I think I’ve tried this setting with the same exact beans (Lavazza Super Crema), but for some reason, the pressure will just not go past the 7’o clock hand. Do you use the razor tool to cut off and measure?
@@aliciaandnoah If you're using the pressurized basket, the grind size is mostly irrelevant because you should be getting that pressure no matter what. I'd try running it with no beans in the pressurized basket and see where the gauge ends up.
@@NevrNewd Where would you expect the pressure gauge to end up with the pressurized basket on empty? I am trying to eliminate any machine related variables in why I am not able to get the machine to choke on an extraction.
@@rahulm9147 I’ve never tested it but if there are no beans at all, I would imagine there wouldn’t be any pressure. At least not enough to show up in the gauge. If you want to make sure there is enough flow to create pressure, put the blank basket that you use for cleaning in there. That should at least show you if your machine has enough flow to create pressure.
Hi Kat! I also got my Barista Express a week ago and I've wasted a lot of coffee beans to learn how to get a great espresso shot. If you still pull fast even on your finest setting, you need to adjust the burr. Mine is set at 3. Also it will be better to do manual shot instead of relying on the default settings.
Yes. Til now still didn’t get a decent espresso shot. I will try to do that once the beans in the hopper is finished. Thank you.
@@KatEsclamado Just a pro hint you will not find easily. On the barista express the pressure needle needs to be way to the right (out of the marked espresso range). Like one or two o clock. This is very difficult to achive, as the machine chokes at this pressure easily. So the grind has to be super precise. Also you really need fresh coffee. For me the only usable supermarket coffee is the Illy, if it has a manufacture date on the bottom no more than 3 months old. 3 months is usually to old for espresso, but Illy has a quality packing and in general medium rosts (italian) are not very bad with aging. I've been using this machine for 2 years every day so if you have any questions feel free to ask.
@@oracla Are you in US? Do you have any recommendations for store bought roasts that give decent results? Illy italian roasts? I am burning through a lot of $$ coffee trying to dial this thing in.
@@rahulm9147 Sorry I'm not from US. I haven't had much luck with store bought coffee except Illy, and even that is not great. So it's really best to find fresh roasters. A good beginner coffee is brazilian and it's also usually the cheapest. Some robusta coffees are kind of easy to deal with. Probably best to avoid african or high altitude coffee beans.
@@oracla thank you for the tips. Very useful
Show the grind and amount buttons please.
I was gonna get one of these, then I saw it was 700$ and was like nvm haha
It really is a steep price point but you can get them on Craigslist used in great condition at a lot lower sometimes. If you’re serious about your pour then I’d start saving. Good luck.
how did it taste?,....i assume you already dialed in this type of coffee.....your extraction was very fast, also you did not show us stop time for timer.....personally, i think how your coffee taste should be the deciding factor.....i remember when i used to go to starbucks, i ordered the same cofeee....grande wht mocha, sometimes it tasted exceptionally good, rich, creamy and velvety...other times, it was sour and bitter......i wondered why ...was it becos of different preparers ....it got to a point in time when i had to ask for specific preparers and for new locations or ppl i am not familiar with, i asked for a ristteretto shots....still didnt help
George Michael..kissing a fool..nice choice
Extraction looked a little fast. I'd drop your internal to 3-4 and then it should be perfect. Though, if it tastes good to you, that's what matters! Nice video!
What do you mean dropping internal? My extraction is fast like hers too
@@phillipsmith1155 grinder adjustment
@@phillipsmith1155 I am assuming they mean the top burr setting. It is in the manual.
Extract Your espresso first before you start steaming your milk☺️☺️☺️☺️💗💗💗but well done.
Timing should be closer to 25-35 seconds. 18 is too fast. Some say 20-35. I couldn’t see your pressure but I believe you’re in the right area of around 9 bars. Grind may need to be dialled in a little. Try a little finer. With that filter we can’t see the actual drip to tell if you’re channeling. Maybe go to a bottomless. I think you’re well on your way to a perfect cup. Cheers from Canader eh!
I ordered my sage barista express, and I'm waiting for it.
I'm no expert, but i see you tamping twice which i heard it's not good for extraction (im using the delonghi espresso machine right now)
Tamping twice really isn't a big deal. If you put 30lbs of pressure on it once, and then 30lbs of pressure on it again, it's still only compacted by 30lbs of pressure. For most people, it's because that tamper doesn't fit perfectly so after the first tamp, there's lots of grinds around the side. A second tamp gets those grinds into the puck. But really, there's no actual benefit to double tamping, though it doesn't hurt. For most people, if you start double tamping, it's a hard habit to break!
Good quality video but super sloppy, still enjoyable 👍🏼
burned the hell out of the milk and the shot. I believe you over filled and over tamped it, the milk shoud never be steamy; means its gotten to a temperature it starts to break and start tasting rotten. Try using less milk, start heating up the inside of it, and when you feel its getting warmer start tilting the cup and put the nozzle on the edge of the milk to start making the foam. Then hit it gently to break the biggest bubbles and then spin it gently till its shiny. Nice progress tho, hope i helped.
I watched literally a dozen of tutorials on how to steam milk and still couldn’t get a consistent result. None of them had this timer tip. Now I can get the perfect texture every time. Thank you!!!
That’s really good to hear. 😀 ☺️ thank u
Some tips:
-Use fresh beans
-Use the unpressurised basket, this makes for a better espresso
-Hold the pitcher closer to the cup when pouring out the latte art.
Nvm! I realised this is an old video. :) great improvement.
Hehe thank you! 🤗 still a work in progress
Wow this was recommended to me one year to the day after this was posted
Milk overheat
i agree with u, this was when i was still trying to learn proper milk steaming 🤗
Your extraction looks a bit watery and weak. But at the end of the day the taste its all matter
I am actually having a hard time achieving a decent espresso shot. Any tips, would be glad to know. ☺️
Kat Esclamado if you want a detail explaination to dial in espresso you check at lifestyle lab youtube channel or hoon’s coffee. Those channel are using barista express as well maybe you will get some idea after watching them
@@razineatworld thansks. been watching their videos.
@@KatEsclamado I don't recommend Hoon. For a good espresso from barista express you need to use the NON presurised filter and fresh whole bean coffee. That can be expensive, specially at the beginning when you are new and have no idea what to do.
@@KatEsclamado really like the nice production and music in your vid! I'd be going for fresh beans (couldn't tell if they were?) and a single wall basket. I've found towards the right end of the espresso range, grind size 7/8 depending on the bean and no more than 18g in the basket is ideal. Getting about a 30sec shot and really decent crema but I'd also recommend watching a tonne of the other vids on here if you haven't already!
The sound on your machine is weird, doesn't sound right!
You either have to tamp harder or grind finer
Tip: You’re burning your coffee by letting your machine heat up to steam first. It’s best to first brew your coffee and after steam your milk
They’re not brewing coffee though. It’s best to let the machine fully heat up before pulling a shot. Anyone that’s owned this machine for a while knows this.
Also, ditch the pressurised filter - it's not really teaching you anything as it will consistantly pull you a shot with a faux creme - I only use this for any preground coffee. 🙃
Hey im using now non-pressurized 🤗
Wow you’re pretty slow when you make coffee noh?
malisimooooo
