    Hi Caitlin, I recently purchased this machine and have been so frustrated I was ready to sell it. Before giving up completely, I searched and found your channel and watched this video a couple of times. This morning, after properly dialing in the machine, I made the best iced coffee I've ever had. All the little things in espresso prep really do make a huge difference. Thank you, you are my coffee hero! I now love this machine. Your channel content is amazing and you are a delight to watch. Thanks again, Elle.

    This video is very well done. You have all the basics included to start producing consistantly good espresso shots on the BBE. From this base, you have described so well, you can now start adding small things as you work towards refining and perfecting your product. Better quality basket, bottomless portafilter, metal steam handle (I know) etc. Thanks for this newcomer tool.

    Do you hit the program every time you try a new grind or only initially set it (even with a wrong grind) and then only adjust the grind size? As far as I figured, it sets the volume of water going through so if you set it to produce a volume equal to 1:2 ratio it should still be the same output of coffee by weight even if you adjust the grind, is that correct?

  • @andrewrickwood-tz5fq
    @andrewrickwood-tz5fq ปีที่แล้ว

    Hello, been making espresso for about 2 months now but I haven’t been able to get a lot of crema and I think it’s due to the freshness of my beans because I feel like I’ve got the other factors done correctly. I’m making pretty good tasting coffee but I definitely think it should be tasting better. I’ve been learning latte art and I’m able to do okay tulips but it’s not sitting on top of the coffee as it should and was just wondering besides freshness what are the other factors to not having a lot of crema and a few tips on latte art ?

  • @colinreid2346

    I'm not really feeling the coffee? like I love the taste of coffee but I'm a construction worker and also love how it wakes me up and gets me ready for the day (when I buy coffee out). This isn't happening with the machine, like i feel like I just had a tea and not a coffee. Would this be something to do with the grind settings or the beans? I just bought conventional coffee beans from the supermarket to set this up. Love the video though and your take on this would be very much appreciated!

    One question please: do you put sugar in that espresso? How is recommended to drink espresso? With or without sugar?
    Thank you for reading my message.

    Caitlyn, do you recommend Pressurized or non- pressurized portafilter for learning purposes? I mean - a new newbie, fresh out box, used to work at SBUX type barista, knows tad more than girl/guy off street, open minded, ready to learn , enthusiastic, empath, tell me what to do person.

    This is a bit of a nightmare.. I had my machine over a year, I am still unable to get correct tuning, even though I use SAME beans, SAME grind, SAME pressure, practically IDENTICAL PROCESS OF EVERYTHING... it randomly generates a pressure between from 0 to all the way up to the max.
    And its not consistent, nor does it follow a pattern, so I can not even troubleshoot 🤔☹

    I was wondering if you know, if there is a way you can manually set the time your brewing time in your breville, because mine keeps stopping at about 16 sec - could that be a dailing issue or machine setting?

    Hello Caitlin, Might be a dumb question: When "programming" should I press the button again to stop the pull right when I see the desired weight or should I stop it in anticipation of it? Hope that makes since but there is a lag between pushing the button and it actually stops pulling/dripping. Otherwise thank you so much I appreciate the info.

      in 7:24 you can se right when she hits 38gr you can hear the click of the button.. So I guess right when you hit the desired weight...

    Have you tried dialing in the Breville Cafe Roma? Can’t figure out how to prolong the extraction. Whether it is a fine or coarse ground, it’s pulling a double shot in 15 to 20 seconds.

    I'm not an expert, but the time should be measured almost immediately after turning on the extraction, i.e. when the first drop of water comes into contact with the coffee, not after the coffee stream appears.

      Couple of different things. 1 this is an inner burr that can be adjusted (look up tutorials on that) potentially that needs to be finer as well. 2. Increase your dose and how hard you're tamping.
