Congrats on another excellent video of training and explaining how to make and serve a better coffee to my friends and family. I am learning from your videos. Keep them rolling. Regards, Leon from RSA.
I just bought a bag of medium roast Lion Coffee that smelled pretty nice, and it is the most bitter coffee that I have ever had: looks just like those recommended beans, but worse bitter than Starbucks! I've never had dark beans that bitter. I had Lion coffee in the 90's and it was really good. Water quality is definitely really important. My brother has lovely deep well water at his property and the coffee always tastes so much better. I use a water filter and mine might need replacement already. I am doing pour over for a two cup pot and loose submersion brew with a quick filter through a basket filter for one cup brews. I think I need to use more coffee and filter it through quicker. I am spoiled on the good organic from Costco which is so strong you need less coffee.
I don’t even like coffee because it’s bitter but my mom got an expression machine and it fascinates me so I’m doing my research hehe. Maybe I’ll like coffee now
@@ArtistiCoffeeRoasters drank my first full cup of coffee in my life the other day! It was so much less bitter! Seems like the machine and my family dialing it in helps!
Thank you! I would recommend to people to watch videos more than once. Come back to a video and maybe you’ll pick up some thing you missed the first time. I did with this video.
Great tips but one you always emphasise is the recipe. Once it’s nailed, coffee tastes the best, especially if you are using Champion blend 😊 But let me tell you that I applied same recipe to Placebo for that after dinner coffee and results were so good as well.
Yes, the recipe is certainly important and will vary depending on many aspects. Glad to hear that it's worked out for you with our Placebo blend :) How long have you been drinking our Placebo ?
Is backflushing with detergent and cleaning portafilter and baskets with Pulicaff once a week enough? Or should I actually unscrew the group head regularly?
@@ArtistiCoffeeRoasters Thank you for getting back to my question. I reckon you guys should do a video about specialty grade beans and non-specialty grade.
I realize this is typical for coffee shop espresso prep (compared to at home) but I honestly can't help but cringe at the puck prep and shot pulling...no weighing to properly dose, no wdt used, no pre-infusion.... *shudder*
Yeah I liked the content overall but was surprised so see no measurement of the output yield. Brewing only by time is not typically a valid approach because it's all about the flow rate and the input/output ratiod need to be respected more.
NO NO NO NO NO NO NO THE FIRST THING YOU FIX IS YOUR WATER! You may find yourself in the endless chase of beans, grinds, temperatures and recipes, only to find out you coffee is bitter because your water is too hard.
Water the main component to a coffee, all the geeks in the industry and up taking about it at the bbq’s! 😂 but not everyone can understand it and is willing to address the issues
@@ArtistiCoffeeRoasters It fixed the problem for me. I was trying everything, changing beans, roasts, grinds, prep, doses, ratios, temperatures, brew times, with the same result - Bitter coffee. Until I eventually tried brewing with different water, et voilá, that was the problem all along. Without being a geek about it, that should be the first thing you change, before trying anything else. As bottled water (like a water for toddlers is a good bet) is much cheaper than new unimodal flat burr grinder.
Sure, if you follow us regularly you would be aware to keep the content flowing it’s been had with our team out with covid. It was just me doing it all. 👍🏻
I love this channel so much, thanks for teaching us how to make coffee ☕️ ❤️
Our pleasure!

Thank you so much for these amazing tips. Love from Iran ✌🏻🙏🏻🌷

That’s how it starts, from a distance then you get hooked 😂

Add milk to start.... or sugar then reduce and remove as your palate get used to the taste. Get East African beans ..... Kenya or Ethiopia
I find weighing the beans for each shot, works well, and I also grind b4 grinding for my shot to make sure there's no coffee from the last shot
Yes that’s the first 2 main tips to great tasting coffee
@@ArtistiCoffeeRoasters And after each dose, I'm 0.1-0.5grams either way of my 19gram recipe
I'm having troubles of not having an Espresso machine to start with
Hopefully you manage to change that sometime soon! :)
Haha, yes that's likely quite problematic :)
Get a cheap one online or pre-owned
Thanks for your time much appreciated.
Thanks for the encouragement 👍🏻
Brilliant content as always! Thanks so much.
Cheers 👍🏻
Appreciate your in-depth videos. I am learning a lot and feel more confident with my machine.
Great to hear!
Thank you! I would recommend to people to watch videos more than once. Come back to a video and maybe you’ll pick up some thing you missed the first time. I did with this video.
Hello,,, regarding the final shot, was it 8 sec pre-infusion+ 20 sec brewing time, or was it a total of 20 sec? Thank you.

@@ArtistiCoffeeRoasters Not that long ago, since February. Soon I will order more and will try The Fix
Very helpful! Thank you for your great videos
Our pleasure
Bitter coffee is literally the whole point! Love that stuff
👍🏻
Sweet espresso machine there 😁
Much appreciated sir
🤗
🙏🏻
Great video, l got a lot from it.thanks heaps.

Unscrew it each time you clean it, it will never get dirty and then effect the coffee
Good one! 👍🙏
Thank you. 🙏🏻
I love your coffees and your videos. Just a question? Are all your beans specialty graded or just the single origins?
Thank you, All our beans are Specality grade, the singles are a higher grade, only Arabica
@@ArtistiCoffeeRoasters Thank you for getting back to my question. I reckon you guys should do a video about specialty grade beans and non-specialty grade.
may i know why the brew time is 20 seconds? Typically should be from 25 to 30 seconds, please correct me if I am wrong.
20 seconds is for a 1-1 extraction. 2-1 is 30 seconds
@@ArtistiCoffeeRoasters I got it. Thanks
What machine is this?
GS3 mp
Spot on!! Very nice, I have some mods and n the way for it, stay tinned
My espresso is usually bitter and sour?
On no, change beans and follow out tips
I like it bitter
Sure! There are many types of coffee for us all
This is WAY too mjch trouble to get a cup of coffee. I suggest pour-over coffee where all the items used are ALREADY clean.

Any tips? Im on a well i use a filter ..terrible bitter
Sour/salty = under-extracted. Bitterness = over-extracted
Dont drink coffee
this video audio is terrible and needs redoing
