What is your dream coffee machine?

[@xiaodrie]

Sorry ar.. Quick question.. As I noticed same timing on both extraction.. do you have a same coffew dose and grind size for both testing in each machine?

[@MalaysiaBarista]

Yes that is correct both = same . We calibrated and set the grinder based on volume on a 16g portafilter basket and extraction time. Both machine uses the same basket size.

You suppose to grind finer for preinfusion. Good movie.👍

[@MalaysiaBarista]

The grind size is done so that the espresso shot matches both side of pre-infusion and straight through in this video. You are correct, if there is a 10 second pre-infusion you are suppose to pull at say 25+10 , which means finer grind size.

[@makeme.coffee]

Blindfolded, can you tell the difference between with and without pre-infusion espresso?

[@MalaysiaBarista]

Side by side taste wise for experienced barista or coffee drinkers yes.

[@makeme.coffee]

@@MalaysiaBarista how about cone vs flat burrs grinder, can you also taste the difference?

[@Kronos_The_Mad]

Great video thank you from Italy! Best regards

[@MalaysiaBarista]

Our pleasure!

[@TSC8181]

Does the length of pre infusion affec flow rate?

[@MalaysiaBarista]

Yes

[@mxkjpd01]

Very informative, thanks

[@MalaysiaBarista]

Thanks for watching!

[@AndyMillerPhotoUK]

Hi -- auto pre-infussion is 7 secs on my Oracle Touch -- having watch these vids I tried stopping the brewing process at 6 secs (or when the first liquid comes through the filter) and let the brew wait for a couple of seconds then press the brew button again which repeats the preinfussion process -- this takes the pre-inussion from 7 secs to 17-18 -- can I taste the difference, barely. I use a very dark roast bean, which has a strong taste.

[@MalaysiaBarista]

You are right in this sense. This is because Espresso Machine is originally designed for medium roast level. Certain features, options or styles such as pre-brew and pre-infusion differences in taste may not be that noticeable if you are using light roast, dark or very dark roast level.
