[@JMWexperience]

Thank you so much! I just received my Breville Bambino plus today and your guidance was spot on. I had excellent results using your concise and detailed instructions.

[@HomeBaristaCorner]

Thank you for watching!

[@Makwayne]

Thank you. Out of the 10 videos I watched, yours was the only one with actual information. Thank you

[@HomeBaristaCorner]

Thank you for watching!

[@donnacermak4556]

Excellent tutorial! I just took mine out of the box and your step-by-step instructions are better than Breville's. Thanks!

[@Ely-Ely]

Best tutorial I have watched about how to use the bambino plus. Thank you so much!!!

[@kbhambare]

Honestly one of the best informative videos out there.

[@conniezhu1996]

Your guidance is so much better than the official video! Thank you!

[@TammyCassidy-u1j]

Thank you soooooo much for this video. It is a jungle out there in products and using them is so intimidating. I am going to buy this machine and wanted more knowledge on how to use it before I made the commitment. Your precise easy-to-understand directions are exactly what I needed, right down to weighing the coffee and everything. 👍

[@dianaavila9744]

Thank you! ❤ I needed this ! Just bought my bambino plus

[@krrr9030]

Love this step by step instructions! ❤

[@trishgarz84]

Thank you. You broke it down step by step.

[@rawrdo123]

Thanks so much for this! I have the Breville Bambino, and I'm looking forward to using some of this tips!

[@Paschendael]

very informative and straightforward. thanks for the video !

[@AT-jf2wz]

Thank you so much for this very informative video. I just bought Breville knock box and would like to add more accessories. It seems yours are decent so can you please let me know what brand they are. Thanks🙏

[@AlyshaMathew-ku3bh]

Also, if you were to use a single wall basket, would you have to manually program your espresso shot every time or can you let the machine do that instead of having to program?

[@grahammusto7759]

Very good video. Love the Niche companion grinder. I get fantastic results using the non-pressurised basket.

[@rob9682]

Really great video, loved it, thank you!

[@AlyshaMathew-ku3bh]

Awesome video! This really helped me and it is very informative. My only question is, what brand of coffee beans are you using? Sorry, I’m just asking because grind size also depends on the coffee and I’m also using a Niche Zero.

[@AleABest]

Great video. Very usefull and complete

[@ledemonblond]

Very good video, what is the brand of your vacuum container for your coffee beans?

[@HomeBaristaCorner]

Fellow Atmos

[@martinaletteu]

can you use bottomless portafilter? ithink its better

[@MsPenny42]

I can’t fit the double wall for not so fresh grinds into the machine? Can you please advise.

[@HomeBaristaCorner]

@@MsPenny42 grind finer and reduce the coffee grounds to your basket.

[@md.azizulislam6456]

hi bro very good is your teach one by one appreciate but tel me 16gm beans how ml u get the espresso and infrom me what name is your grinder❤ thank you

[@razashah4728]

Thank you for the demonstration. Why did you use the pressurised basket instead of the single walled one as you are using fresh coffee beans ? Thanks

[@HomeBaristaCorner]

Since the video is for beginners and for automatic workflow, I use the pressurized basket to start with (no dialing-in). Next video will be a manual workflow and how to dial-in the coffee beans.

[@razashah4728]

Thank you, just got this bambino and learning about dialling in

[@carlosdepalma4284]

Great video!!!!!

[@3litepker]

Shouldn’t you spritz the beans with water so it produces less static when grinding?

[@Kiwiumii]

Thanks this video helped a lot

[@howardc7820]

Thanks for the easy to follow and very informative video. Could you please tell me what model of grinder and scale you have and what other extra parts were bought in addition to the stuff included with the coffee machine?

[@howardc7820]

Jesus Christ, your grinder costs 3 times more than the machine itself lol

[@HomeBaristaCorner]

@@howardc7820 the reason for this, the most important is the coffee grinder so I invested more for the grinder. This is now 3 years with me. For budget friendly, I recommend the DF54.

[@HomeBaristaCorner]

The weighing scale is Timemore Black Mirror. Other accessories are bought separately.

[@LeslieDeemer-h1w]

what is the temperature right out of the machine? I've read that it's not hot enough. Thinking of buying one, but it the espresso is not hot enough, then why spend $500?

[@HomeBaristaCorner]

@@LeslieDeemer-h1w If you will notice, I run a blank shot and don't remove the portafilter while I'm grinding my beans. That will keep the grouphead, the portafilter and your cup hot. That's the proper warming up. Most of the first time users missed this important step.

[@alihasan-yc6np]

Thank you so much.

[@d3ru5tor67]

Awesome video thanks

[@mandalaweaver]

🙏🏽🔮My 4 year old machine stopped making crema I regularly descale and clean Ideas????

[@ravimahmood2429]

Hi thank you for this video! Do you warm up with the machine and rinse the portafilter every time you make a cup of coffee?

[@HomeBaristaCorner]

Bambino Plus doesn't warm up the portafilter after turning on the machine (unlike other models) so that's why I run a blank shot. Hot portafilter will help to stabilize the water brewing temperature to extract the coffee better, better tasting espresso. Running a blank shot to rinse the portafilter to make it hot again on next shot.

[@jwilsonbb5684]

Cute heavy Filipino accent. Thanks man!

[@johnhoyle4401]

Nice review, thanks. How noisy is the thumping sound when it steams milk?

[@FernandoRivera-f9y]

Since you grinded your own coffe at a right ground size , you should be usung a non-pressurised basket . Am I correct?

[@HomeBaristaCorner]

I started my coffee journey with pressurized basket and move on to single wall basket. This video is for beginners who will use the machine for the first time. Pressurized basket is not too sensitive to grind size, but still ideal grind size need to set to make it closer when using the single wall. There's a part 2 soon, advanced tutorial. This time for single wall basket and all manual method.

[@spartan.1043]

Can i ask if that's the portafilter that comes originally with the machine ?

[@HomeBaristaCorner]

@@spartan.1043 yes the black portafilter

[@Aiidanmax]

You have to run a cleaning cycle every 200 shots. Does the warm up and rinse count as a shot?

[@HomeBaristaCorner]

Yes

[@birvine]

Great video, thank you :)

[@taylorburton800]

Can you tell me why mine comes out bitter? I feel like I’m doing all the right prep steps. Could it just be the roast of coffee I got?

[@HomeBaristaCorner]

Try freshly roasted medium roast coffee beans. Stale beans and dark roast are bitter when not properly dialed-in/calibrated with the right temperature.

[@DonPapiLuis]

Fantastic content man!

[@HomeBaristaCorner]

Thank you for watching!

[@simmi352]

Hey mate, do you think the grinder is an overkill for the machine or do you think it's about right? I have a bambino plus and I've been thinking about upgrading the grinder from Smart Grinder Pro.

[@HomeBaristaCorner]

I choose Niche Zero because of ease of use for this case. This coffee bar is being used by family/guests and are new to espresso. My recommendation for grinder is the coffee grounds it produce are fluffy and burrs are upgradable like the DF64* grinders.

[@simmi352]

@@HomeBaristaCorner thanks for your response, what are your thoughts on Mignon Eureka series?

[@Marwa-en5gf]

Mine comes out very watery and it drips from the two holes at the bottom it’s not a clear stream like yours. What am I doing wrong?

[@HomeBaristaCorner]

I recommend freshly roasted coffee beans from your local roaster.

[@Marwa-en5gf]

@@HomeBaristaCorner I’m gonna try this! Hopefully it works 😭

[@babychicken1206]

what is the name of the scale that you use? =D

[@HomeBaristaCorner]

@@babychicken1206 Timemore Black Mirror

[@bosiorne2292]

What caffe you used on this video Arabica or robusta ?

[@HomeBaristaCorner]

A blend of Arabic and Robusta

[@startek9048]

Water still there in portafilter. It is too soggy. You should have screen puck, adjust grind level, temperature, coffee type. I use Calphalon Temp iq, and outcome really dry. Love it. Cheer.

[@Voltar78]

Excellent video. But you should firstly make the milk and then clean portafilter with puoring dirty water into the milk jug.

[@JohnnyB1995]

Where did you get your niche zero

[@HomeBaristaCorner]

I'm based in Singapore. There's a local reseller. But you can order online in Niche website plus shipping fee.

[@saraghafelehbashi5808]

Thank you

[@1redgate8]

Why not use tap to wash the porta?

[@HomeBaristaCorner]

You can wash the portafilter using tap water after brewing but in case you will need to pull another shot, you will loose the heat of portafilter from tap water. When brewing, portafilter should be hot to enough to keep the brewing temperature stable. Lower temperature will result to sour espresso.

[@wongxinhao1996]

bro's grinder is way more expensive than the machine itself.

[@HomeBaristaCorner]

Because grinder is the most important than espresso machine.

[@fannyboni472]

​​@@HomeBaristaCorneryes precisly, but then why using the pressurized basket!? 🤔

[@HomeBaristaCorner]

This video is about for beginners, all about automatic (part 1). I consider pressurized basket as automatic. There will be part 2 of this video soon, all manual method and using precission basket.

[@Kurgan28]

I’m ready for part 2! Haha

[@Izolacija]

Why everyone make double shots? I want single shot espresso.
