At first, I thought " wow this guy is hyped up on espresso, he is talking a mile a minute" then I realized I forgot I increased the playback speed. lol
Haha the espresso is that good 😂
I found one of these machines on the side of the road on my walks today, I’ve never even had espresso but it works and I’m about to have an espresso machine in my college dorm! Thanks for the video!
Stepping it up in the college dorm lol I actually bought this during my second half of college. A great starting espresso machine. Enjoy!
Dude, it is amazing. I bought the same machine, and I am so happy now. Lol
Thank you so much for this easy how to video!!! This helps us so much. I've been doing it wrong NOW I KNOW!!
Haha, glad this could help Rose! Espresso is no easy task but not too bad with a tutorial=)
I just bought this machine and found your video very helpful, thank you!! I'm honored to have been your 1,000th like 🙂
Awesome and thank you! I appreciate the view and the like. Enjoy the espresso!
Thank you so much! I just got a Mr. Coffee espresso maker with a steam wand. I'm playing around with drinks and your video really helps!
I'm glad the video helped out! How were the drinks? Did you have a favorite?
Invader coffee has some of the best coffee I’ve ever had! I love how the original invader blend is air roasted, preventing the beans from being too acidic or burnt, but my favorite coffee that they offer is the mexican chocolate. It is the smoothest best flavored coffee blend that I have ever had!! Another good blend that I’ve tried is the Whiskey blend which is my third favorite. No bitterness yet deep flavor, it is to die for!! Finally I love how the company is run by a vertern and how the website is super user friendly and delivery is fast and on time. I highly, highly, highly suggest you get yourself some invader coffee.
Wow. Incredible video with all the needed details. I wish you-tubers take note instead of going around in circles. You nailed it , sir so thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it! Haha there can be many different variations of a how-to on TH-cam and the accurate ones are the best =)
Very helpful, thank you sir.
Happy to help! Enjoy the tasty espresso =)
Thanks for your help man.
Any time! Glad this video helped!
What a great video...Keep Smiling
this video is so helpful, thanks!
I'm happy this video helped out! Are you going to try the latte recipe at the end?
@@savorwithdmurph1113 i'm definitely going to try the iced one for sure! i love iced coffee and typically prefer it over hot coffee no matter the season haha
Such a great video!
Thank you 🙏😁
Thank you!
Thank you Larissa! I'm glad you enjoyed the video!
Idk why ur video was addicting lol good job man.
Haha! Thanks man! I appreciate the view.
It's all the caffeine in it that makes it addict8ng
i tried the cinnamon latte with almond milk and it is AMAZING!! literally been trying to figure out my espresso maker since i got it for christmas!! can you do an iced series???
Rock on! Glad you have a drink you love. I'll look at an iced series. We have summer coming up so that could be a good edition. I don't do a lot of iced besides what I shared but open to add a video or two =) Thanks for the comment Kayla!
Gut erklärt und gute Videoaufnahmen. Vielen Dank.
If you put a drip of milk in the bottom of the glass before you pull the shot it will prevent darkening, giving you more time to assemble a drink. This is also why, when making a cappuccino or latte, the milk is streamed and added BEFORE the espresso.
Thank you for the tip James! I like the idea of adding a drip of milk to the glass to keep it from darkening. I'll try that next time I make a latte. However, from my experience as a barista and many videos on TH-cam, the milk is added to the espresso, not vise versa. Where have you seen the milk added first?
@@savorwithdmurph1113 I've been a barista for years and I've never ever heard of putting milk in the espresso glass first either, but I find that idea interesting- would make a good experiment maybe.
Hey, great video. May I know how many shots can u make from the powder u used in the machine? Thank you.
So the steamer bottom is just to activate the bar so that it will stir the milk?
Thanks
I'm glad this video helped out Tammy!
Margaritaaaaas!
hot margaritas ;)
What is vanilla cream can you make it?
Wow🥰
Haha thank you! =D
I keep doing exactly what youre doing and keep getting just black with a little dark brown on top. I have the mr coffee espresso maker from walmart. The cheaper 40$ one
Hello, it looks like that one does a steam method and works similar to a drip. The espresso will end up being more black like regular coffee. There are a few review videos on TH-cam and they get a black espresso with that machine as well.
Should the porta filter or the handle in the UNLOCKED position be SUPER tight as you turn it to the LOCKED position ? The machine I have is made totally out of aluminum but is SO tight I have to hold unto the machine as I turn it counterclockwise
So holding the machine isn't unusual as these can be light. However if you have to put a ton of effort to get to unlocked that is unusual. Try less coffee if it's quite full. That can sometimes make it tight to lcok.
How did you remove the steamer guard?
I have the same machine but I can’t figure that out
To remove the guard, I held the top of the steam wand with one hand and twisted the steam guard in a circular direction while pulling down. It eventually wiggles off. Be careful though not to pull too hard on the steam wand itself.
Am I supposed to put the frothing tube cap (the rubber thing) on when I am frothing the milk?
You can if you want. That’s more so for safety. I took mine off to make it easier to clean. Frothing crusts the milk so it’s a good idea to wipe it with a wet paper towel/cloth every time the steamer is used.
What # dot on the grinder were you using for this espresso machine? We just got the same espresso machine and grinder at work. Must duplicate this exactly.
I ground the coffee on the finest setting. The grinder I have just has dots and I used the smallest one. The mr. coffee has a strong pump and can handle finely ground espresso. Just test your amount till you get to 20 seconds per pour. Enjoy all the tasty espresso 😁👍
Very few people tell you that the coffee grinder is the most important part of a good espresso
Very true! The correct grind is so important.
When you said you should pour the espresso immediately, did you mean pour it in another cup ? I'm talking about straight shot, not mixed with anything. I apreciate your help.
Straight shot can be left alone. Only when mixing with something else do you want to pour it quickly as that'll improve the flavor.
This sounds so silly, but do I have to turn The machine off when I’m at 2 ounces, or will it stop on its own??
When I make a shot vs a double shot, how many of the scoops that come with the machine??
Does e crema really make a difference In Taste? Also, does the caramel color vs the darker black that some folks get when pulling a shot really make a big difference w/ taste?
I think it does (creamer/smoother tastes) it also impacts texture. However, if your mixing rather than drinking espresso straight or adding a little cream or sugar it's harder too tell.
@@savorwithdmurph1113 Thanks Murph
I usually skip the stir step, the milk pour will stir it up plenty.
I used to do that when I worked at Starbucks but it left some of the flavor on the bottom of the cup. You do get a nice coffee forward, flavor if you pour instead of stir. When I'm looking for a more robust flavor I prefer the pour over stir.
mmm i find that if i temp it to tightly packed it takes about 30 seconds to a minute before it actually starts having the coffee pour out of it. any suggestions on that?
With this machine there is only one thing you can do to decrease the time it takes to pour if your using a regular espresso grind. If your tamping it several times/tightly try doing it once or twice/gently. It's a bit of trial and error till you find the way that works best for you. I bought a brand of pre-ground espresso I really love called Illy and I had to tamp that once or twice compared to several times with Starbucks espresso roast. At first I did my normal tamping and the Illy espresso poured for over a minute!
@@savorwithdmurph1113 yeah I've used Illy before and I do like their coffee. However, I grind my own at this point with a bodem grinder. I did find though that if I go even more tightly packed, on the last few brews I've done, it actually brewed at a normal pace. I guess I was just hitting some middle ground some how haha.
Aweseome! I'm glad you were able to get the right tamping pressure down for your espresso. You can tell the difference in a longer shot vs a shorter shot. How do you like the Bodem grinder? I use a Cuisinart but it can be a little inconsistent on the espresso setting.
@@savorwithdmurph1113 So far I'm loving it. This is the one i got, a.co/d/g7HThNm. i was torn between it and a few others (including the Cuisinart model). came from a hand crank burr grinder, which now is at my desk at work along with my french press.
This is a pressureized portafilter, it doesn't require much of a tamp. Hence that one little hole on the bottom. You're copying what people do on nonpressureized expresso machines. Follow directions, don't go too fine or pack too tight. Cheers.
The first step of making delicious espresso coffee is to turn the machine on. Man ! I wished I’d seen this video before…. No wonder my coffee is not hot 🥵!!!
Sir i have a question. how many times i can use a scoop of grind coffee to make espresso
I use 2-3 full scoops. You want to pack/tamp the coffee in till the espresso fills most of the porta filter.
@@savorwithdmurph1113 think he means. Can he make somebody a cup... and pull another shot off the same porta with the same grounds... for himself?
If the questions is how many cups can you make with one scoop of coffee, only make one cup at a time. If you use the same coffee multiple times the flavor and caffeine strength will be significantly reduced. Thank you for the clarification A Dawg!
@@savorwithdmurph1113 aawwhhh yeaahhh! Thanks for the vid man!
Helloo texan youtuber frnd ! ☺
Where is my keralite (I'm right?) youtuber friend, Prya?:).
I hope you had a great New Year's Eve Party!
Nice video ..I love coffee,, made in every way .
Can I ask you something, plz?
Hello our Brazilian friend! New Years was loads of fun! How was your Christmas and New Years? Thank you for the wonderful comments about coffee =) We love drip coffee or espresso. Both are delicious! What would you like to ask?
My Christmas nd New Year was normal dude, no big celebrations, but no frustration, after all if we're alive that's all, do you agree? :)
Well, what I wanted to ask you n Prya, was if you could send me a greeting in the next video from you, mentioning my name, hehehe.. , Can you? lol. .. I've never asked it to any youtuber .. I would love ! nd then I would reproduce nd post on my channel ..lol
That's how we did our Christmas and New Years as well. We celebrated with family but did not have any large parties. I totally agree =)
Of course we'll send you a greeting Ahna! You are our number 1 fan we must say hello in a video haha!
Priya and I have a video idea we'd like to make but it may take a few weeks or a month. I'll let you know once we make the video =)
Hello Ahna! I hope all is well in Brazil!
I just posted a video with a shout out to Ahna Costa! It's the video about TH-cam's changes to monetization for the 1000 subscribers and 4000 hours of watch time. I give you a shout out at 2:20 and also added a link to your channel in the end. Thank you for all your support =D !!!!
They have a pretty decent affordable tamp on Amazon. It will save you from having to tamp so much.
Love it! Can you share the link?

This one is two sizes, I have it and it works well.

This one looks nicer.
Thanks for sharing Miss B. I used the plastic one and agree these would make the tamping process so much easier!
@@savorwithdmurph1113 they really do. They make great pucks too, every time. I noticed the better the pucks ,the better the coffee. No problem.
how do you get the espresso to be that light brown color when it comes out? when i make mine, it's always pure black. also, what kind of espresso do you use?
Jake Smith My husband just bought one and the same thing happened. Do you have a tamper? Tamping is really important
And making sure it’s suuuuper fine
The espresso has to be ground to a certain fineness. Typically when you’re getting a 20 second pour it’ll be that Carmel color (2oz in 20 seconds). If it’s black it may not be the right size or amount. If you’re using fine grind and it’s less than 20 seconds you need a finer grind or add more coffee. I use Starbucks espresso roast. Getting the right shot is a bit of a testing process.
I just got a new espresso machine and need a totally different grind/amount of coffee to get a perfect shot.
If you have no crema on your espresso, adjust grind fineness and tamping pressure. Also make sure youre using fresh coffee. You want no staleness
@@savorwithdmurph1113 how ground fineness without a ground machine i just have my mr coffee
My espresso machine cant pull a shot at all. Ive used fine grinds as well, but it still comes out black, without crema.
How long does it take to pour?
What kind of sugar you did use?........is brown sugar?
That is sugar in the raw. The large cane sugar.
@@savorwithdmurph1113 ......THANK YOU
mine always makes a watery puck, is this normal? My other steam expresso machine the puck is solid
Are you using the same espresso grind and the same tamping pressure when preparing the shot as with the old machine? There will be a little water but it shouldn’t be like a soup when you remove the puck.
Marshall, the other day I was making espresso shots and I barely tamped it and the puck was watery! I would recommend applying more pressure when tamping so the grounds are packed in tighter. I applied more pressure when tamping and the watery puck went away =)
Hello
What coffee brand do you use?
Thanks
I used Starbucks in this video but I now use illy which works with this machine as well.
How do you stop the coffee it keep going the coffee I’m missing something
You use the steam/pour switch on the side of the machine. Just switch it to off after it pours 2 oz of espresso
I was wondering the same thing. It will just keep on pouring til you switch it off then, right? We overflowed our first cup...guess I was expecting it to stop like a keurig 🤣
Lol that's what I was asking myself, am I supposed to wait until it stops, but no I guess u have to turn the switch.
DMurph & Pri-Pri so after the shot, you dump the grounds? That much for just one shot? I’m new and don’t fully understand how it works but I’m willing to learn!
So how many shots can I make with one porta filter filled to the top?
The larger porta filter would give you two shots. Get that caffeine!! Lol
DMurph & Pri-Pri Thanks brother, I definitely will be!
Why my espresso is black at first?
If it is pouring black you may need to use finer grounds?
This is a helpful article on what can cause your espresso to pour too black.

Why does mine taste like meat?
+Droogoon That taste might be from the type of coffee you're using? What type is it?
@@savorwithdmurph1113 Starbucks espresso whole
Starbucks espresso has a strong taste if you drink it black that may have a slightly meaty taste.. It was designed to be tasty when mixed rather than drinking straight. Do you drink yours black? If so, you may prefer a different espresso. Personally I love illy coffee for a black espresso.
Interestingly, I read a blog in which someone coming off of a cold thought their coffee tasted meaty.
Hope that helps!
Mine tastes like alcohol idk why :/
This model is unreliable. Started to leak after about five month. Pools of water on the counter. It seems to be a common problem according to reviews on the Amazon.
I don’t have a leak but the steam that comes out the bottom front of the machine when the steamer is finished running does put a little water on the counter. Not a huge issue and for a 15 bar pump @ $75 USD I’ll deal with the drips.
No g measurements 🙄
Nope I like to feel the weight and base it off of taste. A little unconventional.
Needs to get on with the tutorial. Most of these blah blah blah too much. Like seriously just show us.
