COFFEE TIME - My Morning Espresso

When new espresso or coffee gear lands on my bar I often spend weeks, if not months getting familiar with it as I make my morning coffee so I figured I'd share some of that process with you. Today I'm making an espresso one and one on the new Sanremo You.

I love how the entire video is a monument to serenity, and then he stacks the big cup in the little cup at the end, just to keep us on our toes 😂😂

[@Sprometheus]

Haha, exactly. Plus, I’m all about making only one trip to the kitchen.

[@FormulaXFD]

This whole thing is ASMR; never knew peace could radiate from a youtube video.

[@Sprometheus]

Exactly what I aim for! Thank you my friend.

[@Stan_sprinkle]

Well then you’ve never watched Dave’s EasyPCRepairs

[@CabeensCoffeeCorner]

great job editing! The transitions were great! Really liked when you turned off the machine and got the reflection of the tree! Well done!

[@Sprometheus]

Thank you my friend. I really appreciate that as I spend a lot of time trying to find beautiful shots that add to the overall vibe. These workflow videos are some of my favorites to produce.

[@Fircasice]

The final shot with the leaves reflecting off the display is outright artistic, really nice touch.

[@Sprometheus]

I appreciate that. It sort of wrapped the whole thing up the way it started. Full circle so to speak.

[@_nthng]

academy reward for best cinematography - emmanuel lubezki must be very jealous of your cameraman skills! you deserve bafta award for this video. bravo! 👏🏼 👏🏼 👏🏼

[@almoni127]

Nice! So glad you included the cleaning part, which people tend to sweep under the rug 😅

[@Sprometheus]

Thank you, and I get that. It’s all part of process. It may not be glamorous but it can be beautiful when captured with intention.

[@MikeBeauchamp]

It’s been fun to watch the production quality in these videos over the years. Through the roof these days. Nice job!

[@MOBASHHA]

What an amazing video, I felt the peace and satisfaction when I watched it, definitely I will watch it again many times.

[@gettingthatlove419]

The Rolls Royce of espresso machines. Look at that thing!!!

[@filthy-casual]

Loved the perfectly framed beer belly silhouette 😂

[@JuanSanchez-nn1db]

I love the whole ritual of making a coffee like that

[@derrotebarista]

Absolutely great ! Clean workflow 😊

[@Sprometheus]

Thank you my friend 🙏

[@ptr3671]

Thank you for sharing.

[@kodylyons8170]

Good one. Like the quiet.

[@lowhangingvegetable]

Really enjoyed that.

[@Sprometheus]

Thank you, glad to hear that.

[@hoongfu]

Loved this video, keep it up. The music and captions were spot on. Thanks for sharing your foaming technique, I've still yet to be able to make decent foam.

[@Sprometheus]

Thank you. Definitely expect to see more like this coming, they’re almost as fun to produce as they are to watch. Cheers!

[@lgxiii]

Congratulations for this wonderful video. This is high quality work. The lighting is always amazing, but this one goes ways over others, especially the board screen shot at the end. 👍

[@Sprometheus]

Thank you my friend! I appreciate the kind words.

[@cheekster777]

Really, really nice equipment, accessories, routine and video. 👍🏻👍🏻

[@Sprometheus]

Thanks Cheekster! I appreciate you my friend.

[@damondlam]

Nice and elegantly done and presented.

[@Sprometheus]

Thank you my friend, much appreciated!

[@jbosch3362]

Dream setup!

[@garrettlane1302]

By the way, love your vids they are so calming and have the best quality

[@Sprometheus]

Thanks Garrett, much appreciated!

[@johnnyyacoub8772]

These are great!

[@Sprometheus]

Thank you! I plan on doing these more often as they feel so much more relaxing and fun to make as well.

[@MuhanadOmar]

This was really therapeutic. Superb camera work and editing. I hope you’re enjoying the YOU. I’ve had mine for 8 months. Looking forward to your full thoughts

[@BigTrip23]

I absolutely loved this video

[@Sprometheus]

Thank you my friend, much appreciated.

[@correpanama818]

Cathartic!!!

[@Sprometheus]

That’s the goal! Thanks for watching.

[@testdasi]

This is really satisfying to watch. 👍

[@ElBoyoElectronico]

Wonderful

[@victorceicys7140]

Brilliant, yep, Brilliant. Peaceful. Thanks.

[@Hammi4Real]

Nice focus and reflections, this pleases the film student in me.

[@Sprometheus]

I appreciate that, I never went to film school but I like to think I have an eye for the aesthetic.

[@JPC326]

Thanks for this. Really.

[@bars9316]

Excellent shots

[@Sprometheus]

Cheers!

[@MrRockso99]

Amazing video

[@nicolasfortin4216]

niiiice shot at the end! 👌

[@Sprometheus]

Thanks Nicolas, definitely took me a few attempts to get it perfect, but worth it.

[@alarcilam]

I reckon that’s the beat home machine that has landed in your counter.. gorgeous

[@Sprometheus]

So far I’m definitely enjoying it, I’ll have more to say in a full review in a few weeks.

[@beeicc7503]

Beautiful vid 🥰

[@Sprometheus]

Thank you 🙏

[@TC_Prof]

Nice bro and San Remo is 🔥

[@basrool]

I would’ve loved to see the review of the machine Hopefully next week 😊

[@Sprometheus]

Next week may be a little tight timeline wise, but within the next few for sure

[@OO7JAMS]

When Passion meets Perfection ❤

[@rolandlickert2904]

Enjoy!

[@DanielACroft]

I’m looking forward to the review of the espresso machine.

[@Sprometheus]

It’ll be coming in a few weeks for sure.

[@coreycannon4511]

Deuxième! Pretty machine

[@Sprometheus]

Thank you my friend 🙏

[@ericbaluya361]

Inspires me to make a cup of coffee

[@Sprometheus]

Doesn’t get better than that!

[@johnrbh]

Great vid…I think I’ll get up and make my espresso. One thing you are missing is a tamper cozy…

[@CremaChris1]

I love my YOU, but above all this was beautifully filmed. Now getting a YOU shot out of my Colombian La Cristalina Castillo natural self roasted beans.

[@360Koffee]

Nice video, as always! When will we have video/review on Decent Espresso machine? 😊

[@Sprometheus]

It’ll probably be awhile. Don’t have a connect with one nearby at the moment.

[@OrenUrbach]

Always a pleasure to watch! Did you pre-order the Meticulous?

[@Sprometheus]

Thanks Oren. I didn’t pre-order one, it’s on my list to check out eventually but I’m more interested in the Odyssey Argos atm.

[@jesse1691]

More of this bro 😩🙏🏼

[@bjfeerus]

☕☕☕ Love Is Important ❤

[@Sprometheus]

Always my friend.

[@YumEspressoYum]

My goodness, I've watched this 4 times haha this is like meditation. ... But question spro: i saw you drop using the leveler distribution forever and then pick it up again after further tests... Are you not using leveler??

[@tristanmccoppin5761]

Amazing. How can I get those blue lights u have??

[@joseortizdev]

Excellent work, such a soothing experience! Is it still time to send it for the Academy's consideration in the short film category? 🤔

[@Sprometheus]

Thank you, I’m glad you enjoyed! I don’t know, maybe I should see if they have a category this would work for haha.

[@jggimi]

I always wonder how many cameras you run simultaneously for these workflow depictions. What's relaxing for us to watch must be very stressful to shoot and edit. Thank you for these amazing videos!

[@Sprometheus]

Believe it or not, I use one camera. Each shot is pre-planned and I spend a good amount of time ensuring they flow smoothly. Even though these are a good amount of work, they really are some of my favorite to produce since it really depicts the beauty in the process, taking in all the details. Thanks for watching and the kind words.

[@coreycannon4511]

@@Sprometheusit is very Zen.

[@nathanfauvette2151]

@Sprometheus it's pretty insane to think you only use one camera, especially when the shot is pulling switching from spout view to the inside of the cup to spout view again must be quite stressful considering you only have 30ish seconds to a minute to do that!

[@Sprometheus]

@@nathanfauvette2151 the trick is to pull three shots haha

[@ishaq9939]

@@nathanfauvette2151 1 camera, 10 espresso pulls for each angle :))

[@flipper2gv]

My favorite cafe uses a San Remo Cafe Racer and no other espresso bar beats it IME.

[@Sprometheus]

I’ve had great shots from many machines, but the Sanremo is no slouch. Loving the look of this one for sure.

[@ybbobmurphy]

I am new to espresso, so please forgive my ignorance! 1. Why only 6-7 bars of pressure? 2. Why do you choose the concave shape of the portafilter basket?

[@djizzy12]

What is the recommend espresso recipe for the blueboon?

[@blutcherama]

Which size pitcher is that you are using?

[@felixmilleniantosetiawan2048]

Showing off new machine i see 👀

[@Sprometheus]

New machine, but on loan for 90 days so I’m getting my time in with it.

[@TheHabadababa]

No single dosing, distributor, puck screen, Rdt or porcupress? What year are we in? Jokes aside, looked like a great shot. Would be a little too much touchscreen interaction for me but otherwise seems like a nice routine. Not that the You would be in my budget anyway.

[@hadiwid0d0]

Nice video 👍🏻. May i know where did you get that PAD? Is it rubber pad?

[@Sprometheus]

I got it on Amazon years ago, I don’t recall the brand but it’s a heat resistant rubber pad

[@hadiwid0d0]

@@Sprometheus thanks for the reply man 👍

[@scotthep]

Great relaxing video. How are you liking the SanRemo You so far? Seems like a great piece of hardware. I'd be curious if you think the price is justified in performance?

[@Sprometheus]

Thanks Scott. So far I’m enjoying it. I haven’t used a gear pump machine in awhile so it’s pretty wild having direct pressure control versus just controlling the water flow. The cups have been great, and it’s got a ton of control and options I still haven’t dug into. I’ve got it for 90 days so expect to see more on it soon.

[@gehtnurdurch]

@@Sprometheus But the pressure is a function of water flow and puck resistance. This is what I find quite annoying in most machines from a technical point of view. Can this machine be adjusted so it does not show target but actual pressure like the decent? I have seen so many machines showing only the target pressure even when there is no coffee in the filter. So even when this machine might be accurate in measuring the actual pressure, I never no if it actually hit the target, when for example pulling a turbo shot.

[@silverbrewski]

​@gehtnurdurch My YOU shows the measured pressure as well as the target pressure. As expected, the measured pressure lags slightly behind the target.

[@gehtnurdurch]

@@silverbrewski Thank you so much for the reply. This was one of the last questions I had before getting a YOU. My last question is how long does it take until the fan starts spinning and is it annoyingly loud?

[@MuhanadOmar]

@@gehtnurdurch see below taken from the latest patch SR documentation. Also note that they have a new fan you can get that makes the noise nearly silent. Phase 1: On first 60 seconds.  Phase 2: Off for the first 30 minutes; if no coffee/how water/steam is used after this 30 minutes, is kept OFF.  Phase 3: if a coffee/how water/steam is performed, fan starts and continues to work for additional 10 minutes. This timer is refreshed every erogation of coffee/how water/steam.  Phase 4: When fan stops, if after the next 30 minutes no coffee/how water/steam are used, fan works 15 minutes every 20 minutes.2 Always keeped off in STANDBY/ECO/OFF mode

[@costasmichalopoulos3488]

OK, the production value of this video is incredible. How long did it take you to shoot it, let alone to edit it? Fantastic!

[@Sprometheus]

Thank you my friend. Shooting it with one camera was a two day process, editing took another day to day and half.

[@daniel635biturbo]

@@Sprometheus Good results don't come cheap ! Very well executed once again, and impressive since it seems to me that you use very much natural lighting ! ?

[@cww180]

Hold on first you went from the Linea to the GS3 and you have a Sanremo with a new grinder?

[@Sprometheus]

Both the Linea and GS3 I bought, but I sold the Mini not long ago. The Sanremo and the grinder are both loaners and after reviews will go back.

[@cww180]

They are sweet looking machines, I look forward to the review. I have been contemplating the Lelit Bianca V3 or Bezeera.

[@SzamBacsi]

You know, the value of the equipment we have here is comparable to that of a car! And can you believe the WDT tool is parhaps handmade? It's actually made from acupuncture needles, I assume. This just adds to the authenticity and honesty of the whole video, don't you think?

[@Sprometheus]

The equipment is definitely pricy, espresso at home is a rabbit hole and you can spend a lot on it that’s for sure. The WDT tool is from a small solo coffee tool creator known as Sworksdesign. It’s also not cheap in the realm of tools but it does use acupuncture needles, they can be swapped and also arranged in different patterns. Anyway, thanks for watching and commenting.

[@sia5636]

Wondering you used tap water or distilled water, or kind of your own formula😀

[@Sprometheus]

Currently I’m using a 50/50 blend of espresso and classic minerals from Third Wave Water.

[@garrettlane1302]

I have a question! Why do I make the perfect dose to yield ratio, use great milk and puck prep and my iced cortados do not taste like my favorite cafes

[@Sprometheus]

There’s a lot of variables at play beyond that. Water for one is a big one, then you’ve got the machine, usually cafe machines have better temp stability, also a lot of them use pre-infusion or other shot profiles to pull certain flavors or character from the coffee.

[@garrettlane1302]

@@Sprometheus ahhh cool! I didn’t know water made that much of a difference! I have the profitec go which has pid control, and I get my beans from a really good cafe! I’ve been at it for a long time learning and still trying to figure it out 😂

[@Sp0ke23]

Maybe a Sanremo YOU and a GS3 comparison ?

[@iuanders448]

how is it comparing with other machines?

[@Sprometheus]

I’d say comparison wise it’s like modern cousin of the LM GS3MP, but it’s pretty fresh on my bar so expect to see and hear more about it soon.

[@Pudgeums316]

How many grams in?

[@darkmann12]

Where/from which brand did you get the cups/bowls?

[@Sprometheus]

These are all from a ceramicist in Israel, www.odakahome.com

[@darkmann12]

@@Sprometheus Awesome thanks 🙏

[@TomJones-tx7pb]

whoa, that is a seriuosly nice and expensive machine that does not come with a bottomless portafilter.

[@Sprometheus]

In my experience this isn’t uncommon. Even my La Marzocco’s didn’t come with one. They are an added accessory. The Lelit Bianca is as the only machine I’ve received that came with both a spouted and a bottomless standard.

[@TimRogers81]

Did you get rid of your gs3 ?

[@Sprometheus]

Nah, this was just a short term loaner, had it for 3 or 4 months

[@TimRogers81]

Getting ready to purchase the leva X. What’s your thought on that machine ?

[@cheekster777]

Thank you my friend.

[@Sprometheus]

Of course! Have a great weekend!

[@RockyAllenLane]

You must be retired to have that much time in the morning to make a coffee. I think I'll stick with StarBucks!

[@zaroc]

What was the dose ? Out of curiosity

[@Sprometheus]

I am using 18 grams with this grinder since it gets a little clumpy as I grind finer.

[@LaudMedia415]

Whats the pony boy thing about?

[@Sprometheus]

I say that at the end of every video since very very early, maybe since the beginning. Its just a personal take on the famous quote from the Outsiders, "stay golden pony boy"

[@BillB33525]

Nice video production, first I've seen of the San Remo, looks like a Slayer Clone.

[@Sprometheus]

Thanks, I appreciate that. And yeah, it’s got a real unique body style. I’m not sure which came out first, but I think it’s intended to look like a single group of their flagship Cafe Racer commercial machine.

[@meahalbhagwandas1292]

What happend to the GS3

[@Sprometheus]

It’s sitting right next to the Sanremo, it’s my personal machine but the You was loaned to me by Sanremo USA.

[@bleezal]

Money! You're so money and you don't even know it!

[@Sprometheus]

Haha thank you 🙏

You seem to wet only a cm or 2 below the surface. I go all the way to the bottom on the theory that clumps could be anywhere.

I definitely aim to do something ASMR adjacent since I know they often don’t have music. But I do keep the video music free in my files for posting on a rainy day.
