[@user-uh3lr4bx8g]

As I’ve said on many of your videos … thank you. Well produced, nicely shot and most of all digestible for any level of coffee enthusiast. Thank you.

[@clivecoffee]

thank you so much!!

[@speaknup8009]

Great Video!. Wish I had this resource when I was starting out. It addresses all of the important lessons needed to be learned, with none of the fluff and hard sell on equipment you really don't need.

[@linguistisch]

I was just coming to the comments to say the same thing!

[@AlejandroPDX]

Awesome video! The Portland store is awesome. Great products and awesome staff. Clive is great

[@lauraveronicapezzi8056]

Thank you for keeping it simple. I look forward to start experimenting with my grinder from now.

[@clivecoffee]

Happy shot pulling!

[@susanmessenger9052]

Thank you Sam !!! Great video ! I have only just started in my Barista Education. Glad I found you this early. Cheers !

[@MateuszOcalictocozgineoDariusz]

Like your advices but let us make it even better, knowing that coffee beans get spoiled by air and light ,let’s don’t keep any of it in grinder , so please place on scale 18 grams of beans for each espresso then place it in grinder and at same time we not going to have to purge the grinder because there will be nothing left in it , blessings to all of you

[@iamanovercomer3253]

Thanks, good info ‼️👍 Use coffee roasted up to 5 days for 👍, I want to make sure, is that just for exposso , latte ... what about regular drip coffee ❓

[@clivecoffee]

The same for drip coffee.

[@MojiKh-u7n]

Hello. Thank you for best teaching. I need some help. Could you please tell me, if I want to buy a grinder machine, which brand is better and which tips should I notice to?😊

Thank you for making great content!

Thanks for watching. Cheers!

[@ishantsingh3366]

My two most worthiest investments, a coffee scale and a DIY WDT tool. Daily consistency = achieved !

[@danielf_swe]

Thank you so much for a great video! 👍

[@Dritanalsella]

❤❤❤❤❤Wow so amazing information thank you so much ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@keelieyohara7246]

I have a Rancilio Rocky grinder and an ECM GIOTTO machine. I grind 40 grams of Lavazza Rossa into a triple shot filter basket. I pull a 60 gram shot into a clear 6 ounce glass cup. I finish Up with half and half steamed to micro foam. I am in heaven.

[@praiseworthy]

Very good point, thanks 👌🏼

[@marc6652]

Looking for a way to simplify your routine ? Bye the Eureka mignon Libra. Select 1,3g on the "one cup" button / 18g on the "2 cups" button. Purge your grinder with the "one cup" button. And be sure to have a great expresso with the "2 cups" button.

[@jamesliu4300]

Great tips. Thank you!

[@eldabasa]

Thanks really nice information Sam

[@clivecoffee]

Glad it was helpful!

[@CUAUHTEMOCVEGATORRES]

is it ok if i buy grinded coffee? or grind it at home is a must?

[@clivecoffee]

You should grind fresh each time.

[@anotherguycalledsmith]

@5:26 Hello, Sam, what scale are you using? Looks decent ;-)

[@clivecoffee]

That is the Acaia Lunar scale! It's a must! clivecoffee.com/products/acaia-lunar-scale

[@tertia0011]

Sound advice. Thanks.

[@clivecoffee]

You bet!

[@andreyv1]

Tweaking the grinder daily is kind of overkill. I've been home brewing for a couple years and i will occasionally tweak my grinds, but definitely not daily.

[@clivecoffee]

If you don't need to, that's great!

[@minheinoo]

❤Thank you.

[@cosmeticsandpurseswithevelyn]

5 to 10 days OFF roast keep hearing that but where can we find that online or instore soubds impissible and what dose 5 to 10 days OFF roast suppose to mean?

[@edwickson]

This is nice considering many many years ago I learnt it the hard way. Anyway, is there any particular step to become coffee educator like yourself or you just simply show people that you're capable?

[@rawrss]

If I'm hitting the dose (18g), yield (36g) and time (~28sec), beans are (~7 days) from a local reputable roaster, but still no crema... What else can I do? Are some beans just “no/low crema“?

[@PopcornColonelx]

Yeah, it definitely depends on the beans. Some beans are very low crema (CO2) some beans are very high crema. I'd suggest getting an espresso-focused roast from a local roaster (typically a blend of coffees with chocolate/nutty tasting notes). Try a few different bags out!

[@johnwatson8192]

Talk to your local grinder, I've learnt a ton of stuff from mine and still continue to learn. Whenever you get a new batch from them always ask what temperature and extraction time they would recommend for that bag of beans.

[@doctorpurple5173]

What pressure does your machine reach? If it's not high enough you can't get crema no matter what beans you use

[@clivecoffee]

You'll get more crema in darker roasted coffees. You could try that! Another potential issue could be the pressure of your machine. Are you reaching the full ~9 bar?

[@fhfr873]

I’ve been having a lot of luck with my local roasters espresso blend, almost seems to easy. Coffee roasted for espresso use definitely helps make your life easier and pull more consistent shots, at least from my experience. If you want the roaster let me know I will share I just don’t want to promote without being asked but it’s actually really good and has a nice crema and rich chocolatey body shot after shot

[@orakel6082]

Thank you beautiful sam for the knowledge you’ve given to us..❤❤ i’l make sure to disseminate all of it to my fellow family members🎉🎉

[@clivecoffee]

Wonderful!

[@OvertheHills]

"A 1 to 2 oz shot with fresh coffee will weigh less than a shot at the same volume made with older coffee." Of course, you mean fluid ounces which is a measure of volume, not of weight.

[@hookedonwood5830]

coffee enemies - answer mainly address oxygen.. shows a clear glass container when light is also mentioned.. How about fridge/freezer etc. anyway thanks for sharing.

[@clivecoffee]

If you have a clear storage container, we'd recommend keeping it in a cabinet. We aren't anti-freezer believers, but the main downside is potential condensation on the beans when you remove them from the freezer/fridge.

[@4ksony4k57]

@@clivecoffee I've seen in other videos where the barista will mist spray the coffee beans to minimize/eliminate static. So, keeping that in mind, wouldn't some condensation on the beans be helpful in that regard?

[@daniel.lopresti]

@@4ksony4k57 They only do that when grinding, ie, coffee that be will used immediately - certainly not on a bag/container of stored beans!

[@ricknicholson5894]

Very helpful. The really amazing thing to me - a Canadian who has lived in Chicago, Madison and dated young women from New York and Louisville Kentucky - is the presenter has very little discernable American accent.

[@chinchorrero]

I guess I will need a new single-shot coffee grinder

[@虚パンクvoidpunk]

obviously fresher coffee is better but also if you’re making espresso and dropping however much you spent on your set up just to not buy fresh coffee??

[@clivecoffee]

You'd be surprised with what people think they can do with pre-ground coffee on a 5k espresso machine 🤣

[@pepemitha]

fresh coffee you mean grean bean? hehehe kidding. nice content 👍

Thank you!

7 Things Every New Barista Should Know about expresso....

[@clivecoffee]

we do love expresso :)

[@jemialmustofa8917]

Hi I need help am from 🇪🇹

[@daraghmacgabhann1005]

Don’t over hype it, it’s just coffee!

[@clivecoffee]

Coffee is life.

[@kyllerkill]

How about someone normal who can’t spend more then $200-$300 dollars toys for a espresso machine and grinder. I just think coffee is coffee. I can’t tell a difference between two espresso. All coffee taste the same to me.
