I have seen different videos of sage barista express coffee ☕️ machine settings for perfect taste. In the last three years, I didn't know about pressure settings. In the last few days, I dived into depth and learned a lot of knowledge about how to make tasty coffee. Barista Express is one of the best coffee machines for home.

For the best taste and extraction always use medium roast beans. Dark roast always result in bitter taste even when properly extracted. That is the reason you were getting better taste when you under extracted with lower pressure and fast flow.

If you're only timing from 1st drop what time are you trying to get? You should be aiming for between 17 to 20 seconds from 1st drop. Maybe a little more depending on the bean.

A couple more thoughts Aju: when dialling in the dose, I found it easier to release the coffee into an espresso cup which I'd previously tared, then remove any excess coffee before adding to the portafilter; I also tried consecutive dosing (weighing and taring each cup before dosing). The automatic grind amount was remarkably consistent so I'm less bothered about single dosing.. I guess the next step is to add a separate grinder to the mix and see how much better the coffee tastes. Everyone is raving about the NICHE grinder..but of course it costs as much as the Barista Express in the first place so its not a small investment! Once again thanks for the videos- I'm learning loads! BW Graham

@@gedionsamuel2256 Regarding soggy puck, i don't normally get. One tip is to ensure you tamp it right at Razor tool height. If you tamp it too low (lower than Razor height 7.5mm), you will get soggy puck. Also, try to leave your puck in Portafilter for 2bor 3 minutes after Extraction. Breville barista Express has a feature where it sucks up water from the puck to make it dry.

Hi Aju: I've watched several of your videos now (I live in London, UK by the way, and recently bought a Breville Barista same as yours!). I must say your videos are really helpful, specific and clear. I single dose 18g each time (rather than rely on the automatic dosing of the machine) but it would be interesting to see how effective and consistent automatic dosing actually is in a future video? One question: Dosing ratio. Its officially supposed to be around 1:2 but your was quite a lot higher. Any thoughts on that and any plans to make video about dosing ratios and dialling in? Thanks !!

2nd shot 10 second pre-infusion + 12-13 second drop time = 22-23 second. The best way to get accurate pre-infusion is use a bottomless portafilter and watch as the bottom of basket begins to saturate. That is your pre-infusion. For those who say timing from pump turn on get pump start up time I say if it takes longer than a second for your pump to begin pre-infusion there's something wrong with your pump or something wrong with brew head your brew head.

Love your videos, you're great at explaining things and share very valuable knowledge. What I can't understand is how you are achieving correct (in the zone) pressure regardless of whether you are at grind size 6 or move all the way down to 2. If I am at the 12 o'clock range and move 1 or 2 grind sizes finer I will definitely be over extracted out of the range. Changing grind sizes seems a lot more sensetive for me. I am using super market medium roast beans and have internal burr on setting 3. Thoughts?
@AjusCafe
@AjusCafe 3 жыл бұрын
David, thank you. Good question though. Answer is simple why I get good extraction and in pressure range is because I use freshly roasted beans. Freshly roasted is much different than store bought beans where we don't know the roasted date. For espresso always buy from a local roaster as they give you the roasted date. Now in 1:37 of this video I mentioned that I roasted this beans 2 days ago. So lot of coffee oils and gas in that beans, so you see good extraction like honey. I have few videos in my channel on how to roast beans at home.

Is it normal for the single and double shot to have different dial ins for the grind size? I found that if I use the grind setting that works for the double shot for the single shot, the single shot starts to choke and I have to make the grind setting 2 steps coarser for it to work for the single shot. For example, I use a grind setting of 8 for my double shot, but the single shot chokes unless I use a grind setting of 10. If I use the setting of 10 for my double shot, it reaches the middle of the espresso zone on the pressure gauge but the flow is a little too fast. This is for the breville barista express by the way. Both of the filter cups are also single wall (unpressurized). Also I am using Lavazza espresso perfetto whole bean blend.

After you've dialed in the grind size, i would suggest you to change only dose when you swap single or double basket. If the Pressure is too low on single, then dose 1g more and see. That's what i do. Single basket is not exactly half of double dose. Usually single ratio is slightly more. So dose 1g more and tamp well and see.

My Breville BE 870 came with a levelling tool. Unfortunately the grinder stopped working, not the grinder itself but its activating switch became unpredictable, sometimes it worked, sometimes it did not want to start. I bought Breville smart burr grinder which I love. It has the same type of activation, but this is doubled by Start/Pause button. Somewhere in the middle I pause the grinding, press down the coffee, and in the end I use the provided tools to press it down. This smart grinder has digital timer and grind settings. Interestingly, I use grind size 6 for my own roasted beens . For those beans, size 4 is just slow and over extracted. I love Lavazza but I generally use Gran Crema or something similar. How did Lavazza Rossa work compared to your own roasted beans? And my last question: how do you roast raw coffee beans? I only tried the stove roasting in a cast iron pan. What I don't like is blowing away the fluffy bran.

First thing please check if your filter baskets are clogged. Secondly run few double shot empty shots, just hot water and measure the water volume to see if you are getting it constant. Thirdly measure 18g of grinds (not beans). i.e. make sure you take 18g of ground coffee into the basket. Because Grinder can dose more OR less than 18g beans. if the above items are good, then it could be something to do with your beans and grinder. As you know Breville grinder is not consistent in grinding. i.e. some coarser, some very fine. Test it out and let me know.

Great video! Very informative! Exactly what I was looking for! Thanks. Did you use the beans from that bag you purchased or the one you freshly roasted by yourself? If it’s the one you purchase, what’s the roasted by date? Usually the best taste period for freshly roasted beans are 6th-14th day. Did you use the non pressurise or pressurise filter in this video? Appreciate if you can tell me.

Just out of curiosity, how do you know where to set the grind amount? In every video I watch, I seem to see a different location of the dial. Some around "three o'clock" all the way down to "six o'clock." Any guidance available?

I use weighing scale to weigh beans - 18g from double shot and put the dosing dial to maximum to get all 18g grinds into a dosing cup in one go. Depending on dosing dial is not reliable as it can change according to the beans too.

I've seen people time it both ways but it should be when the first drop is "extracted". If you start the timer at the button press, you're timing the pump, preinfusion, etc. not just the actual extraction.
@AjusCafe
@AjusCafe 3 жыл бұрын
It's been a debate always 🙂. Due to long/slow preinfusion on BBE (8-12sec), i tend to start at 1st drop. Anyway this is not a big deal, as far as its not a very long shot and watch for the change of color.
@Andy-cp6fb
@Andy-cp6fb 3 жыл бұрын
@@AjusCafe Yes the problem with timing from first drop is you don't factor in pre-infusion and coffee puck saturation, which effects the flow rate. But your right, it doesn't really matter as long as you stick to one method and then adjust from there...and of course, that it taste good to you! Enjoy :)
