What other videos would you like to see about espresso?? Let us know in the comments here!
Thanks for the helpful video. Do you aim to brew 36g of espresso within 30secs?
Tasting different beans with different roast levels as espresso would be cool to see the nuances and differences in the taste.
1:2 Ratio was the golden nugget! Thanks for breaking that down I hadn't heard that elsewhere!
Hi, this video is very informative on how to make espresso at home
This is great, thank you. I wasn't sure what 30lbs of pressure meant so good advice on the tamping. I just bought the exact Breville machine you were using and am learning how to get the pressure into the correct zone. Finding that the single wall double shot filter always leaves me underpressure and with weak, bitter coffee, regardless of how I tamp or the fineness of the grind. The double wall double shot gets me the pressure, though it's only supposed to be used for pre-ground coffee. Will keep experimenting, though.
Everyone shows how to make an espresso but doesn't show the after or before process. As a beginner it's very important to know. How about pre heating the portafilter? How about purging the portafilter after pulling a shot to clean it out?
Thanks a lot
Glad it was helpful!
steaming the milk and latte art for beginners
I’m new to making home espresso and your explanation of the amount of pressure to tamp was the most helpful I’ve heard so far. People talk about weight of pressure when tamping, which isn’t helpful since I have no idea how much pressure I’m asserting when tamping. Your explanation of tamping down until you feel some resistance back makes sense! One question regarding the scale. I have a gram scale and use it every time I make coffee but I have a smaller espresso machine so my scale doesn’t fit under the cup while brewing. Any advice on what what to do in that situation?
Glad to hear the tamping pressure explanation was helpful! As for the scale, if you're able to use a smaller vessel to brew into that allows the scale to fit, that would be your best option and you can just pour the espresso into your drinking cup. If that's not possible, you may just have to get used to eye-balling your yield....it's not ideal, but definitely possible!
Another suggestion: weigh the cup and tare the scale before you pull the shot, and then weigh it afterwards. If you're also weighing your grinds before you pull the shot, this will give you a picture into your ratio. I find that I like about a 3:1 water:coffee ratio; with my La Pavoni, I can get no more than about 13.5g in the double basket, so I look for about a 38-40g shot when I'm done. But that's simply the taste I like: measure, practice, and take notes till you get an espresso that makes your eyes roll back in delight when you sip it!
How many seconds did you pull that 36gr shot for?
What type of coffee did you use?
My friend in the espresso definition you say 7-9g espresso to 25-35mL water which is roughly 1:3.5-4 but at the end you say shoot for 1:2
Great video! My machine has an auto dose and tamp function (Breville Oracle) so dosing is inconsistent. What grind level do you use as a starting point?
haha he ignored your question
Is it a 1:1 ratio, same weight of coffee and water? Or did you reset the scale before adding the water so it's 18g coffee and 36g water?
why do people go for weighing espresso shots instead of using measuring cups? I do not see barista in cafes doing it?
It’s much more accurate! The crema can be deceiving when just looking at volume, as that varies constantly. With weight, you’re guaranteed to be accurate every time!
I have a job interview tomorrow morning at a coffee shop so nervous
How did it go? :)
Me too!
It's "not expresso," but apparently it is "melk."
thank for the X information i were an X pirson😆😆
Smart is sexy! 🙆♀️ Thank you 🙏
But _WHY_ even bother brewing espresso? It's a finnicky, complicated brewing method that requires expensive machinery and, if you do it right, in the end produces... coffee. Seems like an uphill climb for no reason and no gain. Who cares? Seems like a French press gives me the same gritty mouthfeel for much less fuckery.
Omg😭
It's a completely different experience when done right :)
Wondering why you watched the video if you don’t care about coffee lol
@@emilyniemi8563 If I didn't watch the video and even _try_ to understand why I should GAF about espresso then you would have called me an ignorant know nothing. Can't win either way.
It's a hipster thing. You can't be seen drinking regular coffee like commoners
