Man I love the way she speaks. Honest and simple.
Straight to the point, no bs.
Agreed, she's great
Gail is a coffee rockstar.
Should the coffee puck be wet after dispensing?
Tell me about it. Like That's the main reason i'm watching this
This shows exactly what successful instructional videos should be. Clear, straightforward, steady pace. Not slick, excited or shouty. And, importantly,
NO background 'music'! When did you ever go to a talk or lecture and find the speaker sharing the stage with a string quartet or a rock band?
Videos should be alluring, fascinating, think ASMR....
she's great but could do with some warmth though
Nothing wrong with well produced slick videos. It’s all up to personal preference in the end.
I just wanted the drink ! 😉
meanwhile, im playing jazz in the background

This video is going to cost me 600 euro :)
Yes I got it. But I was very lucky to find it on discount for 400 euro. I use it everyday and couldn't be happier!
Luca Pette 🤣
Luca Pette You won’t regret👍☕️
hahaha...same to me, I just purchased the step down model....but I like this one better because the grinder.....I was trying to save space but the incorporated grinder it s a must to have!
Hahaa
I just paid 600$ for it today makes the best cappuccino
i am totally in love with this lady's no nonsense approach, simply fabulous. Makes me wanna get on a fight to
seattle to thank her personally
“I can guarantee it’ll taste bad” “actually that’s not bad at all” haha
:D
It wasn't actually 'too fine'. It was 35 seconds, but that's *_with_* pre-infusion, which you shouldn't count for the shot time. So easily within 20-30 seconds for the pull. And pressure was high, but not out of the 'espresso range' on the dial. I think that might have been a better shot than the shot that was supposed to be the 'good one'. Because that one was 24 seconds *_with_* pre-infusion. So counting the actual timing of the shot, that was borderline too fast.
TheMrVengeance Totally agree with you. When the needle on the gauge is around 1 o clock the coffee tastes and looks the best.
@@nxtvctm I just want to know.. how long does this coffee knowledge take? I’m wanting to learn but it scares me to spend this much money 😫I know you can’t compare the nespresso to this but dang.. I don’t have all morning to grab my coffee 😆
@@MountainsnVallies A week to a year. Just spend an hour every Sat morning experimenting with it.
This lady is a boss! She does everything with amazing confidence and conviction. I want a coffee from her.
This video just changed my life. I've had my machine for a few years and although I've read the manuals and practiced, this video taught me so much more and took everything up a few extra notches...great instruction, excellent and informative...thank you.
That was seriously helpful! I was having trouble with the shot being too bitter and with your tips I've fixed it. Sitting with a great cup of coffee today!
Thank you Gaile for taking the time to make this video. It helps to reinforce everything that is already mentioned in the booklet included with the machine. I would like to mention that there is nothing wrong with the pressure gage and it probably does not have bar numbers because there isn't a number that is applicable to all coffees. The quantities of time . weight and pressure mentioned in the manual are good starting points and nothing else. The great thing about these espresso machines is that they are designed for your personal use and your personal taste, which may be different than the one a "professional" barista may have. Now let's all go and enjoy our coffees , whatever numbers we use.
Here's a trick that nobody mentions: when heating up the group head, put though a dummy shot using the pressurized baskets. This heats up all the nooks and crannies thus preventing the bad shot, good shot that often happens on startup. I always do this for consistent shots along with the warm up time.
I just came across this video and your comment. When you mean a dummy shot, do you put grounds in it? Or do you run it through with just water?
@@juliae.2120yeah no coffee in it just lock it in and use the single shot button. Another tip is to use that water to warm up your cup
I've had this model for 5 years now and it has never let me down, I love the manual Pressure gauge makes it so easy to adjust. also, the customer service at Breville is awesome when you have questions or think something is wrong in the beginning.
I like this woman, I wish all youtube videos are like this. No fluffs and straight to the point
the tip at 6:12 about changing the actual grinder settings on the device itself just saved me from pulling my hair out because the factory settings were not compatible with my favourite coffee and i was previously forced to used a pressurised basket. Thank you! These videos are excellent.
I really love how honest she is and even when other presenters would cover what they said she sticks by what was a good coffee. Thanks for the tips will apply this to my machine the touch.
she wasn't critical of the coffee but type of ground and taste
I have had this machine for a couple of years and I love it. Just run 2 shots of water through and this will pre heat the hopper and the mug you are using. I can make a coffee pretty much as fast as boiling a kettle.
If you steam milk then want to run another coffee then run the hot water tap for a few seconds to get rid of the boiling water before brewing another coffee so you don’t scald the next brew.
Thank you thank you thank you, the manual is bare!
Manual didn’t even explain pressurised vs non pressurised baskets.... just got my first decent crema and taste is 100x better now from all your tips...... grazie mille!!!!! 🙇♂️
Love your videos on this espresso machines! We got the Barista Express as a Christmas present for ourselves and it has added so much fun to our day - and wildly better coffee. Your videos have been so helpful in understanding how to use our Breville. Yes, texturing milk is very hard and it took a lot of practice to get the froth right and get that look of paint. The best part of your videos though is your approachable, relaxed presentation, and subtle sense of humor.
Thanks for the heads up with the double wall filters! I was really unsure why it did not create enough pressure but since I am a beginner, it makes sense to use the double wall filters. Works like a charm!
What a breath of fresh air. She says it the way it is. No hype. THANK YOU!!!
Love this machine. Have had it for couple of years now. I figured out how to make the adjustments for the beans I use. A blend of two, one is Espresso beans while the other is Sumatra. A 4 to 1 ratio approximately.
I boil a kettle of water as I like Americanos, therefore, I heat up my mug as well as the basket separately so 10 minutes is all I need. If you leave the unit on for too long then the drip tray collects a lot more water so you waste more water. Especially in Stand by mode. That’s when the Power button flashes on/off. Thank you confirming the steps/process to follow. My grind is at 1 with the unpressurized two shot basket.
I’ll have to try the beans that you demo’d with. Thank you
Gail is my new favorite vlogger. I'm hooked on her. That wink/shrug/click she threw in towards the end...perfection! Thanks, Gail!
I love this woman! She is intelligent funny and a fantastic talker! I got one of these coffee machines about a month ago and i love it. Fantastic video!
She reminds me of Ellen Degeneres.
This instructor changed my life!!! So informative and concise. No mucking around with this one 👍👍
We picked up the barista pro this morning - your videos helped us compare the final 2 machines (bambino vs barista). Thanks for your great videos, you’ve been a regular appearance on our living room TV the last few days - this was a big decision for our house of 5 blokes!! Excellent instructions/info and superb filming, cheers from Brisbane, Australia 🍻 ☕️
When I got mine, I bought a 1 kilo bag of the cheapest beans I could get, and went to town, experimenting. Learned a lot. It’s a good machine, and now I have sourced some local beans, I’m really happy. About every 3rd time I switch it on, it reverts to the setting for filling a one shot basket, which is just a matter of pressing a button. Otherwise, couldn’t be happier.
I’ve had my machine for 2 years now and it’s the best thing ever. Especially when everything was closed bc the pandemic. This came in handy. I always stock up on beans just in case.
Among all the instructional videos, this one is really really good. I have seen a lot of them today while researching and NO ONE says anything about the amount of time that passes from hooking up the basket and pressing the brewing button. For the best results, PLEASE press it immediately. You always have a few seconds time to place the cup beneath before it starts pouring. The machine is hot and coffee in the basket is frying up until you press the extraction button and it releases water. That makes it sour as well.
For me, that is a telltale sign if a barista is any good whenever I am in a coffee shop.
You are absolutely right, also about the barista
Don't wait 20 mins, turn on, empty old grind out, get the milk out of the fridge and its good to go. I then run 2 shots of water through the basket so it's warm and clean and this also preheats the cup. I have had this machine 4 years and love it. If she breaks i'll be buying the same machine again for sure.
Great tips, love your work.
no you have no idea what you are doing. That's not how you should ever use an espresso machine. Single boilers need time to heat up.
@@jm7720 I am an engineer, I know machinery and have been making coffee for many many years. By running water through to heat up all the essential components that affect the brew, there is no need to let the machine warm up for 20 minutes. Call by and i'll make you one to prove it.
@@travelswithgreengold7114 I agree with you, Mike. I don't know if they have changed the settings, but my Barista Express switches itself off it is unused for 5 minutes! So you can't pre-heat for 20 mins!! I run the water through as you do, the machine is at temperature, as is the group handle and the cup. Makes an exceptionally beautiful coffee. I love this machine. I want to buy one for the car...?
How do you get the pressure to build up? I just got mine and the gauge stays stuck at zero when I fire off an espresso shot
@@surfsessions100 following. I can only pressure mine with the double wall
I saw this video and I'm like "wow, she looks like a great person. I want to be her friend!"
Greetings from Texas!
she speaks like my gym coach. straight, to the point and it makes you listen and pay attention. she repeats important things like you need to do this everytime you change beans. lots of youtube videos does the very opposite of this. lots of unneeded information. I learned a lot and will use this for my breville. thank you.
Love this Gal, she is a great Gail. I actually bought from this company because of this lady's beautiful and authentic presentation and posture. She will tell you about her crummy latte's without blinking an eye. No shaming. It's great. Give her a REALLY BIG RAISE!!!
My tip is to always flush a shot without any coffee after using the steamer. It's meant to cool itself down before the lights come back on, but in testing the water comes out way too hot at first. Flushing through an empty shot brings it down to the right temperature nice and quick.
I have one of these and have been using it every day for about 6 months. This video really helped us to figure out how to properly use the Barista Express. One tip we have learned since frequent and regular use is to keep a bowl under the grind outlet as you grind the coffee so that you don't waste the grinds. We have found that if you just use a spoon to scoop it back into the filter basket and pack it with the rest of your grind it works just the same. This should be done as you test your espresso and adjust the grind amount and grind size, otherwise the extra grinds could change your pressure reading and affect the quality of your espresso. I hope this tip helps everyone to reduce their grind waste.
Another tip we have found helpful is that there is no difference in the espresso quality (to our taste) if the machine is pre-heated before use. I make delicious espresso just seconds after turning the machine on.
Use a funnel- quite cheap but effective in saving coffee
Just moved to Utah from Seattle to be a "manny" to my cousin & his wife's kids. They have this machine and didn't really use it anymore as NONE of your tips & TRICKS were being followed. I got a hold of it, cleaned it throughly, ordered replacement parts and BAM: it's making great coffee again. Thank you for such a great informative video! 😊
I had this machine for 8 years now .... not one single problem . Works like a charm
Thanks Gail- You're great!
#1 coffee channel and Gail ,you’re the best!
Gail (Gayle? Gale??) from Seattle Coffee Gear is bomb! She has the right information, attitude, experience and just plain spot on. Humourous too!! I picked up this same machine July 2019; my very first espresso machine. Her "tips and tricks" saved plenty of wasted coffee and time, and I was able to start to fine-tune my pulled shots immediately. This machine's pulled shots are maybe one tiny step below or even with most better espresso bars. I just need to learn how to end up with "hotter" cappuccinos like how the pro baristas make, as I've upped the temp by 4 degrees already, pre-heated the portafilter & espresso glass, and tried to steam my milk as hot as I can without scalding it- true work in progress... What a joy toy and experience making my own espresso shots! Thank you SCG & Ms. G!
Keep making TH-cam DIY espresso machine instructional videos! The internets are a good thing!!
Thanks, Gail. I've already discovered most of these through trial and error. You really do get through a lot of coffee with these machines, but unless you go B2C they're all the same.
One useful tip: the lights flash at around once per 0.9 sec. It'd be lovely if they flashed at exactly one second but hey, it's close enough (if government work is making coffee). All you have to remember is that 30 blinks = 27 sec which is a good ballpark figure, so you can forget the timer. In any case it's so fiddly to watch the brew scale and the timer at once that half the time I turn off the scales instead of the timer and let the shot run on.
Another thing I've found is that what you learn dialling in a real espresso machine helps a lot with the settings on a B2C machine. I run a Delonghi Magnifica as well as the Barista Express - it's handier for breakfast/quick shots - and since I got the Breville the coffee I get out of the Delonghi has improved immensely. B2C's stop you thinking.
Mine just came today after a bit of wrestling with getting it. I have to say it is some of the best coffee I've ever had at my house. It was this video that convinced me to get it. I'm in love right now.
Did you wait 20 minutes?
Is it true?
This was definitely a much needed video and luckily i have the same machine. btw your tray is back wards :-)
Gale, you are an absolute hero. I just learned so much, and I never thought I’d make good coffee in my life.
I just bought this machine a few hours ago and just watching this video is all i needed. Wonderful thanks :)
One tip you didn’t mention was to never let your shots sit too long before drinking, adding hot/cold water or steamed milk. If making a latter or cappuccino wait to pull the shot until after steaming the milk. Grind, tamp and have your ports filter in place, steam milk, then pull the shot.
Just got my machine and Gail made me realize I never even looked at the gage, I was too excited trying to copy her technique! Good tips! Got a perfect first shot!
Thanks for this! I haven't been around an espresso machine since before everything was digitized and just got this one for my birthday. This video gave some great tips!! Can't wait to go figure it all out!
what a brilliant video.. I learned so much in a few minutes.. I had a few things right but the timing (in secs) and needle info was jawdropping
Well I think I made my decision to buy this machine. After all the research I've done this one come out on top. Thanks for the video.
Michael Noeldner same here. Just picked mine up today.
This is an absolutely GREAT tutorial! just received my Breville and set it up watching the video. PERFECT!!!! thank you!
Thanks Gail! I just bought one of these today after a year of procrastination and model comparisons.
This was the best tutorial I've watched so far. You can really tell she's not just used to coffee, but teaching in general.
One of my biggest peeves in tutorials for anything; cooking, lawncare, gaming, video editing, gardening, ANYTHING; is when people *only* show you the correct way to do things. Hardly anyone seems to understand these "tips & tricks" videos are predominantly for BEGINNERS (Unless specificied otherwise. e.g. 'Advanced tips & tricks videos')
Showing mistakes like what a bad pull looks like or explaining what the milk will look like if you're doing it wrong is so incredibly helpful. A man of a 1000 failures will always be more fit to teach than one of a single victory.
We're really happy you enjoyed it!
Very helpful video. Didn’t pick up in the manual that I needed to have the machine running while adjusting the grind. Thank you for a clear concise video.
Great advice on heating up the Portafilter. Once I began doing that, the pressure started to reach the Espresso zone. Prior to that, the needle barely lifted up. Also, I increased the amount of coffee grains into the Portafilter, which also brought the pressure to where it should be. Settings - 3 Grind, 4 O'Clock Grind Amount, Dunkin Donuts coffee beans. Thank you.
You absolutely have to let this machine heat up first. Just running a shot through the brew head is not enough. I was getting sour shots consistently until I just turned it on and left it until the brew head was hot to the touch. Now it’s back to super quality espresso. Thanks Gail!
Very informative. Knows her stuff. No notes. No self indulgence like many do. Very helpful
Fantastic video, team! Picked this machine up from the Bellevue store back in November of 2017, and I learned a few great tips from this video. I always find that my shots at home aren't as hot as I'd like them, and now I'm thinking it's because I usually only turn on the machine right before I'm ready to use it. Trying the longer preheat tomorrow.
For speeding up the heating process you can also run an empty shot through the brew head and basked
I hope you already know that you can adjust the temperature 2F up and down on this machine. It’s not a great thing, but better than nothing...
Great video! Gail is a legend. ☕️
So helpful! I have been wanting to make espresso at home but didn’t know where to start. I read good things about this machine and was thinking about getting it. When I watched this video, her tips were so helpful and made this very easy to do. I bought the machine right after viewing this.
When we bought the Espresso Machine we found this video on TH-cam and it helped us a lot! Now we are making coffee with more confidence, we filmed the process for our channel. Thank you very much for your video!
Thanks for the grinder tips, never know that you can manually adjust it.
Damn it Gail you’re good at this! I just bought this baby.
Me too 😄
@@Daniela.m. congrats 😎😎 Ive since upgraded, but this is a great machine to start an espresso journey
I watched every single video of her. Just love her honesty and sense of humor 😀. Keep going Gail. Love from The Netherlands 👍🏼
I love that you tasted it even though you knew it was going to be bad, just to prove a point. These tips are super helpful, thanks!
I know it’s been a while since this was posted, but I hope that you’ll still be following and answering questions. You had the grind setting it about 10 1/2 and then you adjusted it so that your brew was about 35 seconds long. You did not, however tell us what the final grind adjustment number was… Inquiring minds want to know LOL
My exact same thoughts
That really doesn't matter as it differs from coffee to coffee. You have to find the grind setting that works for the coffee you have. There is no 1 setting that works for all coffee the same.
She went up to 14..
I like this lady ❤
Thanks for this very informative video of tips, i've had by machine for 5 years now and i've learned new things today
I just got this machine yesterday and this video is so helpful, thank you!
Gail you know espresso. Your voice is amazing as well. Could fall asleep to this!
This is crazy timing. I literally just got one of these machines yesterday. Are you spying on me?
Yes
@@SeattleCoffeeGear I have had the machine for a year and a half. It has been my intro into the world of espresso and I absolutely love it! I continue to grow with it. My most pressing question is how do you factor in normal time compared with pre-infusion? I think Gail started timing at the start of pressing the button, but how does that time compare to a standard machine. My other question is about the dose. Since this portafilter is a bit smaller I usually do about 17g mainly because if I go up to 18g with this machine, I feel that even with proper tamping, I get strong indentations in my puck from the top of the machine and I read that you really don't want that and to make sure the water has enough space at the top to flow properly. Thanks! Love the videos and work you do!
Same here ahahahah
@@Jason-hw5kk me too!! mine came today! SOO CRAZY! THEY'RE SELLING OUR INFO!!!
same! haha
Perfect coffee, just like the video. No BS no wasting time, knows her stuff and straight to the point. Great work and thank you!
You rock!! I just bought this and my wife is a manager at Starbucks and she loves it as much as I do!! Ohh so good.
1 minute and 10 seconds in you solved my sour shot problem....... thank you!
I wish you made videos on how to do everything. You are an amazing orator.
This is the best tutorial video I've been able to find. It was really helpful to actually watch you brew the three different shots. Thanks!!!
I just fell in love for this machine!
I learned much from your tip video. Thanks for taking the time, most appreciated!
I have this machine for 5-years it works perfect like new always on top of maintanance I have never had no problem thank goodness I highly recommend this machine you'll never look back for Starbucks or wholefoods or your local barista cafe shop sorry guys, you'll learn alot from this minor/Barista techniques. My 13 year old son uses it and makes great espresso at the perfect peak and the frother amazing anyone could use it. By the way all of her tips takem it is all true if you don't follow these rule of 👍 tips than you won't know exactly how good of quality your results will be. 👌👍👏
would love to know the maintenance procedure your using :)
@@omaralnokhatha7020 the regular in the instructions everytime the light blinks clean me I decalsify with 50/50 that's water & distilled white vinegar the whole tank 2-Liter in total when done 2-Liter of water then cleaning pill in the portafilter/shower head & depending the usage I change the rubber sill around the shower head unscrewing the it w/the Allen key 3 times a year also about 3 times a year I clean the grinder dismounting everything once you follow your manual believe me you could beat up this machine and wont give you problem at least for me thank goodness it works out perfectly fine with all do honest.
@@We-Cook-It Thank you so much :) !!
Thanks for an excellent presentation. This is spot on,in my experience. Getting the correct grind, took me a long time to master. I love grinding the beans now.
Thanks for the Great video, I'm looking to buying a manual machine and was scared of the non digital, now you have explained how simple they are to use I'll be more confident in my choicei
Thank you. This machine isn't my holy grail setup, but it is what I could afford and stepped me up from pre ground coffee. Great tips.
yeah same here. but it's great for the first steps making espresso/milk based drinks and learning the techniques :)
I have the sage version of this machine as i am in the UK and i think it is a great machine, I had a Gaggia classic before, which is great, but I prefer this machine
z what did you do with your gaggia classic?
@@blzt3206 I still have it, I have a problem with the steam valve leaking. It needed a new grinder anyway, so I thought I would go for a machine with one built in.
i will get the Gaggia back up and running when I can find a steam valve at a decent price.
@@zyborg47
If you have working grinder,Gaggia classic will make at least as good if not better coffee as this machine. Less things to go wrong and steam valve replacement (rancilio silvia) is good priced.
I just got this machine yesterday and was bummed when it “wasn’t working right” - in fact, I saw no pressure going up at all. After watching I just made 2 double shots that came out SO amazing. Idk how you do it but thank you!
I did too! Just yesterday and my first one was suck-ish
@@melaniediaz7970 what happened? It takes quite a bit of pressure to tamp properly
You’re brilliant. Straight talker and you know your stuff. Thank you.
I've had this machine for years and only now do I learn how to use it properly. Thank you... you sensei
Is the new barista pro worth the extra money over the express
Tip? - As i hate to waste a single ground of coffee, i use the single setting on the filter button but dispense twice and softly tamp it in between the two portions, then i dont have to mess around getting all the grounds tamped in one double dispense. (note: you will have to slightly lower the grind volume dial as slightly more than half comes out in a single dose)
This. Also if you weigh the beans each time rather than filling the hopper, you can save fiddling with the dosing dial and keep the coffee fresher. Start with ~18g and adjust grind and amount as needed. I got a $10 micro scale on amazon and it serves well every morning for this.
Thank you so much! This is VERY helpful understanding how to use this machine!!!
Awesome video. Bought this machine about a year ago, fantastic machine. Just the last few weeks coffee has been average. Will run through your tips and hopefully get back my perfect blend. Thanks for info :-)
I clean my grinder using an air compressors which works well.
The fresh beans was a thing I didn't know when I got the machine. I was freshly grinding supermarket beans and getting zero pressure no matter what I did. Breville had AMAZING customer service and after making sure nothing was wrong with the machine, they just suggested using the pressurized basket, and that did the trick until I started buying better stuff from my local coffee shop. Another thing on this machine for me is that the grinder fluffs the grinds so much that I stop grinding after about 12 or so grams, lightly tamp to make more room, then grind more until I reach 17 grams for a double. If you go until it looks full, you won't have enough grinds in there to get good pressure. One thing I still can't figure out is how to get good microfoam out of this for latte art...it always ends up like a cappuccino foam no matter what I do.
I have been using the machine for abt 2 months now. Spent couple of weeks trying different techniques and here is what has worked for me - Orient the wand sideways about 45 degrees. rest it on the picther spout. There is an indentation at the tip, the tip should be about 1/3rd below the surface of the milk . you should be able to see the indetation. if you see the indentation, you are too deep in. The tip should be about 1/2" from the picther wall, not in the center. adjust the pitcher angle so that you are directing the steam towards the bottom edge of the picther. for first 5-10 sec you will her loud sound and small bubbles and after that you will hear and see the milk swirling around beautifully in the pitcher. be sure to lower the picther as the milk expands in volume. I use a thermometer (~$5 on amazon) and let it swirl upto 165. You will get nice thick, creamy milk. One more important thing is how much milk you use. In my case I have found for a double shot (50ml), 150ml milk works perfect. If you dont have enough milk, you will just create bubbles. More than 150ml and you will waste the milk / dilute the coffee. Keep practicing. Good luck.
I have been using Lavazza beans purchased from Costco (which I can't imagine are overly fresh) but what I discovered is that you can change the internal grind setting (see th-cam.com/video/QNvOcE4-VEo/w-d-xo.html) and can get very good pressure with the non-pressurized basket.
For great microfoam, submerge your wand just 1/2 inch below the milk surface near the edge of the pitcher to get the milk swirling. Once you start getting a rotation in the milk, lower the pitcher so the wand is just skimming the top of the milk while still maintaining the swirling of the milk (you should hear air injecting into the milk). Only do this for about 20-30 seconds (I listen to the thumping sound of the boiler and count about 30 thumps). Then raise the pitcher to immerse the wand (no more surface air injection) continuing the swirling milk until you get to the temperature you like. By doing this I suddenly am able to make latte art. This is a great video: th-cam.com/video/qgEPeSq-aGM/w-d-xo.html
It was very helpful to me that she mentioned some of the various cups and its jobs with the pressurized needle. I tried everything and sometimes I get it grind very refined and other times my coffee is very bitter but most of the time my goal is having my coffee super Awesome. I love coffee and I like it just right.
She operates the machine like a boss, love it!
"Of course everybody's hand is different." You got that right lady.

@@laurabrown1003 what
I use the non pressurized cup. 2 shot. and have the machine set at
Grind Size: 8
Grind Amount: slight bit over the first mark.
The bean makes a lot of difference...with older beans you need to be finer and use more
Thank you ! Awesome tutorial , I’ve been having a small issue getting thing right but your advice worked great !! Cheers
Best 18 minutes I have spent on TH-cam in a while. I just got this machine and read through the manual. Found this video and my drinks taste better already! Thank you for a detailed and straight forward explanation of a few features!
Gail, Someone, may of already asked the question. What was the setting for the 35 seconds shot?
Can you put a basket underneath and grind beans for drip?
Thank you for the tips! Gonna try it out tomorrow morning!
Thanks, love it. Straight to the point no BS.
I just bought that same machine.
You can't leave the breville on for 20mi n since it has auto turn off that you can't disable.
I just run 2 blank* shots through it to heat everything up
