Hi Hoon, I just bought a new premium bean and I was getting crazy huge crema but the coffee tasted burnt. I just watched your video again and adjusted my settings like your video and my 2nd shot was perfect. Extraction time and volume was on point but most of all, the shot taste was perfect, no burnt after taste and crema was still incredible!!!!! Thank you!!!!! 🙏

[@YUSince]

I would like to add the following comment: According to my understanding, getting 32g in 25s means…Under Extraction (the flow is too fast!). In that case you need to set the grinder finger!!! Anyway thank you for the demonstration 🙏🙏

[@NoobToobSteak1]

I am very late to this video but did you ever get programmed mode to work properly and if not why isn’t it consistent. I am having the same issues with my BP.

[@paul-erikhansen5769]

IN manual mode.... you press button again to stop the shot when you have reached the grams you want..... but if machine stops by itself, before you reached the target....? do you then have to program the button to run longer....?

[@kyllerkill]

Every espresso machine I’ve owned that had volumetric dosing does the same thing. Every time you change the variables it gives different amounts. Only time any espresso machine gives the same amount is when you keep the variables the same. In my experience.

[@MegaBull10]

I Love that you Link Eversthing you "Touch" in your Video ... I was wandering what kind of tin Cups you are using . Greetings from Germany !

[@chunmeili310]

hello. I just got this machine 1 mons. I have 2 questions about(first,I use 2 cup does,but why after shots.my fitter(does) always wet.how to cancel the pre infusion?next question about I steam my milk every time is very thin.not heavy with much cream foming.what's wrong with my steam? I use 2% whole milk)

[@slasher1488]

I hate my barista pro.. I saw all of your video's and couldn't know what exactly happened into my machine. The flow always fast and no crema into it. The taste is watery and sour. I used starbucks dark roast beans. Maybe it is not working with dark roast from starbucks? I tried to adjust the grinder in all of the way and very sad of loosing around 1 kg into just to know how to get the right things? I don't know what to do..maybe I will give the machine more chance with lavazza coffee beans and hopefully this will help me.. but sir I need your experience into if I used lavazza super crema beans.. what setting of grinder should i go for? And the basket shall i keep it with number 6 or may I have to reduce it further? Beside that my milk frother seems to be not working. The milk always without foam and it is same as you heat it in microwave 😔 i think it is my mistake.. I shouldn't upgrage my nespresso machine into this.. I return back and used my nespresso.. it is much easier and lovely taste😔

[@sarahdewar3237]

Loving your videos, thank you for helping me get better coffee out of my pro!

[@anushags6634]

Are the lattes hot or warm?

[@djmocok]

Is this Breville powerful enough to be used with 500ml milk jug?

[@hosseinzarei8553]

which one should i buy in your opinion? barista pro or barista express? thanks

[@venanana348]

Thanks for great video I have some questions how long the machine will shut off and how long is rech the temperature to brew expresso ? I feel my machine not hot enough !!😅 thank you

[@ronaldmorales1368]

I just bought the same lever. It is very lose. I wish it fit more snuggly as the original knob

[@relaxingmusic3773]

Where to buy the stainless steel coffee grind catcher at video 20:56?

[@hollywoodsmile9483]

Question about program mode: "What is the temperature like in Arizona now and can you reprogram it few degrees warmer?"

[@4dee103]

Just wondering you have black and chrome appliances in your kitchen, what made you purchase the white one 😄 just curious

[@HoonsCoffee]

I got a good deal on the used Barista Pro.

[@4dee103]

Sweet, nevertheless your video was very helpful, I just purchased the chrome steel version. Have a great day!

[@mmortada1978]

What's major difference between barista express? Coz iam already have barista express, is it worth it to upgrade? Pre infusion can be programming? Temperature of shot same barista express or more hot 🔥 Also grinder more adjustable than barista express?

[@dk2845]

I think thermo jet feature is a good enough reason to upgrade. just look up what is thermo jet and see if it is worth it for you. rest everything should be same

[@LuisBerse]

I’m always using manual mode with scale.

[@sonivex]

Hello and weRlcome! Love the videos Hoon. Where is that accent from? Japan? Korea? Cheers.

[@pongscript]

sound like japanese/nihongo.. usually korean accent sounds airy, japanese have a very strong middle , Chinese/cantonese have a very striking sharp accent..

[@mjmobile7]

H! Soon..!!! Great ViDEOS..!!! Have you turned down the inner grinder from 6 to 5 or 4 in this ViDEO..???

[@HoonsCoffee]

Yes I have. It is at 4

[@trudyantine1619]

Does it make a difference for grind size if using bottomless or the filter that comes with it? new and apologize for the question if the answer is obvious

[@chrisbass753]

No difference to grind size between the two sizes they both use the same basket. The bottomless portafilter is mainly beneficial for troubleshooting as you can see what’s happening during extraction. The spouted filter that comes with most machines is to prevent the mess that occurs with the use of a bottomless filter.

[@pongscript]

do you thinks its better to get this than dual boiler/dynamic, for entry level machine. I would be making coffee mostly for my self, mostly expresso or long black, but might also make machiato atleast few times a month, which I mostly got from workplace coffee bar, but since im now working from home, im stuck with a drip(i grind manually). so planning to setup a proper coffee station.

[@HoonsCoffee]

If money is not an issue dual bolier is wonderful if not check out the Giggia amzn.to/2PGTnqr

[@pongscript]

@@HoonsCoffee im comparing breville dual boiler and barista pro. do you think barista pro is adequate, or dual boiler should have less machine issue than barista pro, i have read some reddit post regarding heating problems.. etc.. on barista pro. im not sure if dual boiler have ssme issue.

[@pongscript]

@@HoonsCoffee do you encounter any issue with yours? what specific undocumented habit or maintenance you are doing on yours?

[@pongscript]

@@HoonsCoffee actually im asking, cause our local supplier is selleng seasalt white just like yours, if i would wait for dual boiler(dynamic duo) it might come in june. while barista pro in sea salt white is available right now, other than that barista express is also available, but the price diff with pro is negligible. thank you.

[@pongscript]

@@HoonsCoffee I consider the giggia classic pro back then, but im not sure with that, as it doesn’t provide as much settings to fiddle with. or am i over thinking about it. also the last unit got sold just a week ago, so its out of my option for now.

[@rafalbroncel5792]

I wouldn't ever drink so strong coffee :) 20grams?! I run grinder for 6-9seconds into double basket for single shot and that's maksimum :D

[@BK-pl3vy]

Might have missed a few videos, but what is the reason for 20g for the pro vs 17.5g in the express?

[@LuisBerse]

He using different port filter ( bottomless) not original from machine.

[@jimcassou8895]

Good Morning, Hoon!

[@BillyDhaK1d]

How do you tell how many grams of beans for use? You’re using 20g for a single shot. Every video i watched said 18 grams for double and I assume 9 grams for single. I bought a Barista Pro and having a very hard time figuring out how to dial it in. I bought Starbucks blonde espresso to try it out but every shot i’ve made has come out so awful

[@HoonsCoffee]

Check out this video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/m3qQe2eghNhnp80

[@garethstephens5060]

The Starbucks blonde espresso is likely the problem, have a look for some better beans. 🙂

[@tomparr8259]

Would be nice if the person getting the questions would talk louder or be miked so we can hear the questions

[@theojukes8182]

I like to install the water level for one of two cups

[@zemetras]

Maybe stupid question from beginner here, owner of barista pro : how do you talk about (no) consistency with program but you change SOMETHING every time. Keep the same settings and run 2-3 cups and compare. Initial setup is little tricky, but once you have desired result - found for amount of grinding time, grind size, extraction time, distribution and tamp pressure- I find my barista pro program pretty consistant.

[@djl3485]

I have a Pro too and my program is inconsistent. I had it set and timed and whenever I would run the program the time was always different. Even resetting it and using the preset program, the timing would be different form shot to shot. I found manual mood easier.

[@NoobToobSteak1]

@@djl3485 same here. Breville seems to have no answer for that either.

[@kocjancicjaka]

Great video bro

[@JTFII]

38:19 i died laughing at this LOL

[@theojukes8182]

I don.t understand the manual

[@leonassi]

hi hoon, according to sage the portafilter is supposed to be cold when brewing. sage has a higher brewing temperature to compensate that. if you heat up the portafilter the brewing is slightly to hot. there is a video about that from swiss coffee nerds in german kzbin.info/www/bejne/hoauc42MrtKEeNU

[@cg3356]

In the Barista Pro user manual, Breville recommends to do a blank shot to warm up the portafilter

[@rebornsmith7542]

My concern is, that I create the perfect cup of coffee in Manual Mode, and I can't re-create it. I'll be chasing the perfect cup for the rest of my life.

[@johnwoodruff1878]

You always get inconsistencies if you change variables so what you actually said is not true. The variables always have to be the same. Changing the grain size will change the volume of water and that’s what you did. This is a very recent why the metrics are the measurement will be different.

[@colouredIncognito]

That's not true though

[@johnwoodruff1878]

@@colouredIncognito watch what he dose. Hoon said he was using a light roast. Grind size, 13. He doesn’t change the water setting. Then he Press the button to get the free infusion. Then he lets it go once he gets the desired amount which is like 43 g instead of 40. Now the machine is set. He is he does everything exactly the same way he will always get the same amount of coffee and, 43 g , But he doesn’t do that. He changes his grind size to 12, he also changes the water temperature to a high setting up. Change in water setting is not a big deal. What change was his groin size. You cannot change a variable like that when the timer is set in the machine and expect to get the same amount of coffee out of it and. It’s not possible for that to happen. UNF with a lower dose or further yeah you’ll end up with not 43 g but about 32 because the ground size has changed he ended up going more course. What how sad is not true. You really can’t change the variables and expect to be consistent especially when you already have the amount of water set. Just watch it again and you’ll see why I say what I say.

[@keto4life197]

Much uhm oh i don't know what i want to say but hey let's talk about coffee.

[@kyllerkill]

I don’t think you know very much about coffee. Your opinions are totally off. It’s not pro because it doesn’t have a 58mm portafilter!?! Who the hell are you to say that. I have a 58mm lelit and it doesn’t make any better coffee the my pro. And I spent thousands on it. I feel I gel it ripped off. All espresso machines are just coffee machines. Plain and simple.
