you can change the temp onthe touch. might not be by 1 degree thou. they have normal hot and hotter and 2 cooler ones as well. i have the touch impress the only thing i wash it had was the heated group. but run a shot of water and your fine. i think the milk comes on quicker than the dream to. takes to long and to much fiddling. i do like the dream though i would rayher the duo though

[@robertusga]

Little misleading. Although not shown in degrees, you can adjust brew temp on the Touch and it has a PID as well. Why did you not mention?

[@foxmccoy6595]

I love the look of the Ascaso, it reminds me of something off Wallace and Gromit

[@emilis475]

Wish you would take all your reviewed machines for a spin for perfect videos!

[@MonteComeau]

I believe you can control water temp on the Breville.

[@benreesman5445]

My wife brought me some civet coffee from the Philippines, I was wondering if you have any suggestions on how to brew it the best way? Thanks, love your videos!

[@SeattleCoffeeGear]

We'd recommend steeping methods like French press or Aeropress

Civet coffee, also known as Cat-poo-ccino

Seattle Coffee Gear Hello Gail, I just bought breville brista touch and i would like to know how i can adjust the grinder to get perfect grind coffe for duoble shot espresso, im using lavazza super crema coffee. I just want to know whats the good number to set the grinder and the grind time as well. Also how we can adjust the grinder from inside by removing the bean hopper and (ADJUSTING CONICAL BURRS) . I will be happy if i get reply from you Gail i really need your help on that. Thanks, Sam

Catpoochino

[@prashantm8655]

Is the coffee grinder that comes along with the Breville Barista good enough compared to a standalone coffee grinder?

[@jakubtomasik1016]

I think it's not so good like a separate grinder, because there is not enough space for big burr grinder, but it grinds well enough to pull a good espresso shot.

[@ethan073]

Useless information: the PID itself isn’t really what makes the machine programmable. PID just describes the mathematics used by the controller to handle the feedback it gets from the sensors. It means the controller will respond to the feedback data in a more efficient and accurate way that will result in more stable temp management as opposed to a bunch of big spikes and drops around the target temp. You could have a programmable controller that saves presets and whatnot that doesn’t use PID feedback at all.

[@gospelofrye6881]

Got any examples :). "With PID" has become the marketing-speak for manual coffee machines because it's so widespread as an electronic method, and come on - by this point, having a manual or semi-auto espresso machine is a hobby, and hobbyists demand ultra-specific three-letter acronyms, it's just how it is. I keep a marine fish tank, but I don't go to the aquarium shop to get some new coral, no I go to my LFS to buy SPS frags. Sometimes I take an FTS so the LFS can see how my SPS is getting on with my LPS and softies...

[@3liyyahu591]

Hey Grail, what are the pressurized and non pressurized baskets for? What's the difference?

[@mamadouaziza2536]

Elijah Hassan Are you serious? LOL The pressurized basket is used for when your coffee grinds are not the most perfect size or finest for espresso. Also your tamp pressure does not need to be perfect to pull a good shot of espresso. A non pressurized basket is used when you have the skills to pull a perfect shot of espresso. Your coffee grind size must be perfect and your tamp pressure as well.

[@prashantm8655]

I'm sure he's joking

[@harriettdearmond2306]

Can you buy extra hoppers for the Breville?

[@ThorMaxx]

Harriett DeArmond yes.. on their website.

[@siyusun695]

very nice video ! can i ask a question ...i cannot make my decision between Lelit Victoria PL91T, ECM CASA and Ascaso Dream PID.... can you tell me which one you prefer to buy ? thanks !

[@jakubtomasik1016]

I think ecm is the best

[@NM-fn3rc]

Dream PID or Barista Express?!? I’m stuck and I need to decide!

[@leo641333]

In my opinion better is ASCASO DUO PROF or ASCASO DUO PID and you can choose if u need PID system or not. Without PID is easier to preppare coffee but with PID is more fun. :D

[@jekciso]

Where do I send recipe for coffee collaboration?

[@chadashton7029]

I posted mine in the comments and Gail tried it a while back. They do read and respond to the comments.

[@ananon5771]

Jackson Carlo Ollero just comment

[@ThorMaxx]

Looks like that segment has been cancelled.

[@richardkelley2022]

Why does my espresso come out like steeped coffee ? Somebody help please

[@ThorMaxx]

richard kelley grind not fine enough. Not tamped properly.

[@TheBMH28]

I have wrote to you 3 times ??? and not received any answers ?????

[@diycentral]

On the Breville side if you geek out on technology then go with the Barista Touch but if you geek out on the home barista experience then spend an extra $100 for the Dual Boiler.

[@mamadouaziza2536]

diycentral Not entirely true. You can still manually control the Barista Touch, Gail neglected to mention that. You can manually froth milk and you can control the coffee temperature.

[@diycentral]

Nice! Then I guess it is more about if the extra money is worth having the benefits of a dual boiler and 58mm portafilter.

[@mamadouaziza2536]

diycentral its is whatever works for your needs and coffee taste. Every machine is different, find one in your price point that fits your needs.... I have a brand new $2500 machine and its just awful because its too perfect. LOL. It does everything for me and I do not like that plus it is high maintenance.

[@ryno4573]

diycentral duel boiler is the way to go for sure

[@ThorMaxx]

Dual boiler also needs a good grinder...which most likely will cost half of the dual boiler price.

[@abhaykalla210]

What was this video, it’s like comparing apples and oranges.. Yes you can set water temperature in Breville barista touch, I have one. The only advantage the other machine has is the traditional 58mm portafilter.

[@ChocolateRobots]

Gail, I emailed you a recipe and no one got back to me!!

[@helpfulnatural]

Put your recipe here in the comments section. They do read them and this is where they collect them from viewers. :)

[@ChocolateRobots]

Instant (AeroPress) Fauxspresso + Cola 1) Aeropress - inverted method. 2) 30g @ 184 degrees, 120g pour, no bloom. 3) Stir vigorously for 10 seconds. flip at 50 seconds, press for 20 seconds - press harder (for crema!) a total brew time of 1:10. (Stop here for a great 2x shot of fauxpresso, or keep reading on!) 4) For this recipe, your press should be on a standard pint glass, directly onto ~100 grams of ice cubes, add another after brew is done. Add another ice cube or two if you choose. 5) Now - for the fun part: Add 4oz of chilled cola (I strongly recommend "Mexican" Coke made with real cane sugar). Stir gently. Add 1oz 1/2+1/2 (or a dallop of vanilla) if you'd prefer as they all complement each other. I recommend a nutty light or medium roast coffee as it will complement the taste of cola syrup quite well. Hope you guys like it as much as I do!
