There's nothing wrong with my breville, I still watch your videos because I find them relaxing. Keep up the good work man.

@Jeffery Julio i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and I'm in the hacking process atm. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

@Zachariah Forrest happy to help :)

[@Speego76]

We bought our machine a few days ago, we were frustrated to the “we have to return it” point, because we could not get proper grinding size & pressure. Luckily we got into your channel, and now enjoying good well pressured delicious coffee on its point. Keep it up the good videos, we have learned so much from them.

[@HoonsCoffee]

I'm glad to hear it! Thank you for watching!

[@flynnsarcade.1982]

What did you do to get the pressure you wanted? I'm at that point now. Even with fresh beans and a 1 grind I can barely touch the black in the dial.

[@sunnyheart4749]

​​@@flynnsarcade.1982 Maybe u can try different roasted level beans, I mean from my experience the lighter roasted beans the finer it can be grinded by breville coffee machine, and also you can try different brands.I tried nearly 20 kinds of beans, then found just 1 perfect for my breville es870.

[@wojciechzudro1301]

After almost 2 years of using sage barista Express I'm still learning it and enjoying amazing coffee that I'm making with this machine. Best machine in this price.

[@enobe99]

So my Barista Express arrived today while I was at work. I stopped and bought Eight O'clock Espresso Roast, strictly because of the price, and figured I was going to have to do a lot of testing & wasting. I couldn't get the pressure figured out, and your video was the first one that popped up when I started researching. The pressure is perfect now, and just like you said - it's not the greatest, but it works out great for a latte! I'll be stopping by a local shop near my work on Monday to pick-up some legit fresh beans. Thanks for the info!

[@JanAdriaanDreyer]

A lot of people are finding the better tasting shots at borderline choking the machine - ie upwards of 30 seconds for a 1:2 ratio. My theory is because it uses a 54mm portafilter and the 25second rule is based on a 58mm portafilter, the 54mm portafilter's puck is narrower and thicker, meaning the water needs more time to properly work through the thicker puck. So, I was not surprised that the finer grind setting produced a better result - it is consistent with what other users experienced.

[@floridian2023]

Thanks!

[@kdes7548]

Thank you for this. I got used to making espresso with my cheaper machine (Delonghi 15 bar)and an adjustable hand grinder (150 turns) When the 2nd machine finally started leaking like a sieve I finally bit the bullet and moved up to this "big girl"(boy?) home espresso machine. Even though it's not a commercial machine it does take some dialing in to get a desirable espresso. I love the way you go through the problem solving and nuances thoughtfully, clearly and patiently.

[@j.l.5966]

Thanks for the video Hoon, helps newbies like me out! That’s what I’ve found also with older, lesser quality beans, that I have to grind them so fine and almost choke the machine to get a decent shot. At first I thought that’s what’s normal, but when I tried fresh beans, grind setting 7 and mid range on the pressure, the shot was perfect! So bean quality and freshness is definitely and huge factor, if not the main factor in pulling great shots. But at the same time, this machine is capable of getting decent shots out of older, lesser quality beans. Keep the videos coming my man!

[@SmallSpoonBrigade]

I'm going to try that before I replace my current grinder. Unfortunately, it could be a while before I can get actual fresh beans to try that with.

[@dantheman2887]

If anyone has a low extraction pressure this is the answer also. Did a little bit of homework on the reason why we get low pressure. So the reason is because the water is passing through the coffee and not giving a back pressure (little bit of hydraulic theory) especially with the filter that has more holes in it (single wall). So what did was put the grinder to setting 1, this will make the grounds finer thus more compact. I did not use a setting for the amount, i just manually grinded as needed, this is so I don't waste. When i packed it, I pushed down a little harder than I would with the double wall with the packer tool. Make sure its packed down really tight, put some elbow into it. Then used the razor. This perfected the pressure to come right in the middle of the "ideal espresso". Hope this helps!

[@SmallSpoonBrigade]

Yep, if it's going too fast or there isn't enough pressure you go with finer grounds and/or tamp harder. The problem comes when you're already on the finest grind that the grinder can manage and you're still not getting enough pressure. To an extent, you can tamp harder and watch out for channeling, but if that's not enough, then you might need to just get a better grinder or accept the need for a pressurized basket.

[@joenrs]

Chris L I bought the same machine 2 months ago and I can’t build pressure unless I keep the grind at it’s finest (#1) and overfill the single wall basket. Every time I use the razor I get zero pressure. I always make sure to really tamper my pucks but can’t seem to find where the issue comes from. My sister bought the same machine and I easily get pressure with hers. Any advice?

[@fauland_photography]

@@joenrs you can try to adjust the inner burr of the grinder. There's also a video here by him...

[@richterstitcher7936]

I’ve had my breville about 2 weeks and the first time I used the single wall I couldn’t get pressure. Hoon suggested going finer and I guess it was the pressure I was tamping needed to be harder and once I put my elbow into it I was able to get a nice puck and a pressure at about 12 o’clock when I pulled the shot. I was also only at an outer grind setting of 3 with my lavassa super crema coffee. So I still have a little room to play with.

[@dantheman2887]

@@richterstitcher7936 Yes! I also learned that different coffee's will give you different pressure. Assuming if its oily the you will get more pressure, if its dry less, sometimes very low.

[@advfreedom]

I have owned a Breville 840xl for 12 years and now I got an Infuser(which is basically the same). In my 12 years of tries the most important thing is fresh coffee. I source my coffee from a local roaster shop and I always take it within 4 days of roasting date and use it in most 10 days. Also I like to only have one variable to work with and that is the grind. I have a click tamper, a scale and fresh coffee. The only thing that I have to modify is the grind. But I also have a Breville Pro grinder that has lots of adjustments for the grind.

[@ronsimms6530]

Very respectful way of saying they are not good beans. 🍻

[@dannreymondpansoy4637]

Just to make sure that ure machine is fine or the pressure gauge or sensor is fine. U can try doing this. Put on a double walled basket on ure portafilter it doesnt matter if its a 2 cup or 1 cup as long as ure using the double walled basket. Put it on ure portafilter no need to put any coffee empty will do. Pull a shot ure pressure gauge should go 10 or 11 o clock.

[@chrisbrandt3642]

Great video. I figured this out as well. Glad to see increasing the finer grind made the pressure come up. I also had the same bitter experience with cheaper store-bought packaged beans that were holiday specials. The local roasted beans were much better.

[@dlewis333]

great video. yes, coffee beans vary greatly, batch to batch same brand as well require adjustment. i've had beans from a well known grocer that simply would not show any pressure because they were so dry. i don't go high end but may try a little soon. i use costco espresso beans and they work fine but each bag varies. i do empty use all beans in bin each use, that way i can switch to decaf in the evening or change beans for a little change, thanks for your informative video.

[@publicfavourite]

Thanks. After watching your video I will use the setting that you use in your video because my coffee machine was not showing pressure and that's why it was not good taste coffee.

[@davesphotogallery]

Lovin the channel Hoon, keep on experimenting. I think the takeaway lesson here is that if you’re into coffee enough that you’re going to invest a lot of money getting a decent machine (back off coffee machine snobs, this is an expensive machine for me), then you really need to buy good freshly roasted beans, not from a supermarket. 👍

[@HoonsCoffee]

You're right about that! Some of friends ask me to upgrade to real espresso machine but I really Barista Express. I can not justify spending $1500 or more on the machine.

[@tracyperry3734]

Thanks for the help. Really improved my espresso shots

[@simonhayden9639]

Great videos. My machine is producing virtually no pressure. Even with a blind shot with the rubber disk, it only just gets to the middle of the espresso range. Do you think it's the pump?

[@benjamingunn8528]

I played with different grind grades and didn’t help. In the end I changed the steam ring in the group head… she works perfectly now.

[@MikoLisaJulia]

Hi and thank you for this great video. Do you use the Single or the Double Wall filter? 1 or 2 cup? I hope you will be answer my question. 😊

[@richterstitcher7936]

Got a good shot at the 3 grinder setting with 17g of lavassa super crema coffee with my single wall basket!Finally!! I’ll need to look for fresher beans since I’m not sure how fresh they come from Amazon. Thanks for the tips!

[@Icey1231]

If you want low pressure brewing on breville keep holding the double shot button, when you finish release the button and press it again. Try it.

[@LucasDRibeiro]

Tks mate! You just helped a guy in Panama

[@floridian2023]

Excellent study!

[@traderstevo9553]

This is SUCH a good video!!!

[@DavidHowellsBuilders]

Just to say this video is still helping in October 2024!!

[@flynnsarcade.1982]

Exact same issue. Except I bought fresh roasted beans down the street and even at 1 grind I still can't get into the black. I tried your idea to use the pressurized basket as a test and the pressure is good. I have no idea what I'm doing wrong. I'm getting close to the, "I'm returning this thing" point, too.

We have the Breville Express and I came across your channel today. Super informative and useful videos. Subscribed!!! Thanks ;)

[@HoonsCoffee]

I'm glad. You're going to love using it.

[@annwartnick7878]

I’m having problems with my machine too. I got it a few days ago. I watched a bunch of videos anyway I’m setting my outside grinder number to 10 yesterday and it worked perfectly. It stayed right in the gray area where it was supposed to and I use the same coffee and did the same exact thing today and it didn’t work. I had to put it all the way down to seven and then finally it works but it’s so weird because I didn’t do anything different yet one day 10 works and the next day seven works so it’s really confusing.

[@iamgoogle1085]

This was a very good video, I love your honest. Just started my coffee journey..

[@HoonsCoffee]

Wonderful!

[@brendanfossey9691]

What internal burr setting do you use? And is the burr setting the same in all videos?

[@zendt66]

Any tips on how to deal with low pressure when a person buys pre-ground coffee at the store. Would it help to use the single wall insert?

[@corry000]

I thought lower number on the pressure setting means coarser grind, not finer. Wouldn’t you need to do finer grind (so go higher in number on the grind wheel) to fix underextraction?

[@stefanoz7211]

Thought the exact same thing too

[@californiacoast7021]

Which grinder settings did you use?

[@momoary5740]

I own a Sage machine, which is quite similar to Breville. However, I'm experiencing issues with the double shot function-it doesn't produce a double shot, and there are also problems with the pressure.

[@kfatbob1]

Hi Hoon!! New subscriber and things and like the content. Could you please tell me what burr setting, side dial setting, and front amount setting you where at when you produced this video. Thank you. Kevin 👍🇦🇺

[@paulfick5440]

Since I also live in Tucson, what and where would you recommend a light roasted whole bean? (Similar to Starbucks Veranda). Thanks!

[@hermesmcclintok]

What’s the difference between a dual wall shot and an optimal pressure single wall shot? In taste. I’ve tired every grind size, 17/18/20 gram dose, doff portafilters, and I still get low pressure. No gray zone. No creama. Dual wall comes out perfect pressure and great taste.

[@llemmon]

Mine is brand new, I get good pressure but too slow of a drip no matter the grind size, the portafilter is even with the razor tool, maybe tamp too hard? I use a spring automatic type tamper.

[@isaacgallashaw4413]

I purchased my Breville Barista Express about 8 months ago along with a 2.2lb. bag of Lavazza Super Crema medium roast coffee beans. 4 days later, my wife & I suffered through a house fire that destroyed half our home. I wasn't able to use my espresso until last week. The coffee M.F.D. date is 02/19/2019, & the B.B. date is 01/03/2021. Should I dump this coffee & purchase a new bag? This is a totally new thing for me since I'm only used to drinking my coffee light & sweet.

[@davethenurse1031]

Hey and in which number you have your internal grind?

[@mfreiher]

Hi Hoon great 1st time watching your video and have learnt a lot. What is the model of your machine?

[@fanfun-kitchen4495]

From the Netherlands 😊 I have the coffee machine now for two weeks. Fresh beans but I can’t get pressure with the presser cup. What ever I try☺️

Follow me on Instagram and I can talk you through video chat. instagram.com/hoonscoffeeaz/

[@fanfun-kitchen4495]

Hoon's Coffee thanks I will do that. Thank you very much. You will hear from me. Greetz

[@enginpost73]

I learned I had to remove the hopper, pop out the bur, remove the bur handle, and dial in my bur to around 2-3, then set my fineness to around 4 and then I was getting the press on the amount just fine. before that, I was not getting the pressure on the Barista Express.

[@claireprideaux6872]

Thank you so kuch for the tip I'll try this :)

[@ex0ja]

I have the same issue Orlando if I use store bought beans. I either set it to 1 and push as had as I can with the tamper, then I get just enough pressure, or I use the double walled filter. Are you using single wall or double wall filter here? No idea how you are getting enough pressure. If I use fresh beans from local cafe it's very easy to get enough pressure with the single wall filter.

[@sahibgupta8612]

Hi, I got my Barista express yesterday. I am using Starbucks Dark Espresso roast beans. I can't get the pressure to up in the espresso range. I've tried fine grind to setting 1. I can't get the pressure to increase. Not sure what I'm doing wrong here. Please help

[@xiaosquared]

Same! I’m gonna adjust my grind size down further and try

[@brookelynrosester]

I also have been trying the Starbucks dark espresso and having the same problem! So frustrating! I think I’ll try local like he said. I’m sick of trying to get it right

[@davidnguiingyant]

Same to me. Many suggested to buy fresher beans from local roaster and to adjust the inner burr setting. But many also told me the Pressure Gauge is only for decorative purpose and we shouldn't be bothered by it...

[@chrisdominguez8196]

Stay away from Sbucks, I’ve tried all their roasts. The best is from small local shops or roasters, Costco, or Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf.

[@grammymurry]

Enjoy your videos- I need to set my grind to 2 to get enough pressure- is that weird?

[@HoonsCoffee]

No not at all! Have to try the freshly roasted beans yet? If you do, start with 7 or 8 on the setting.

[@RonnyKohlmann]

@@HoonsCoffee I also grind on 2. But with freshly roasted beans from my local roastery !! Is that weird ?

[@HoonsCoffee]

@@RonnyKohlmann Is that dark roasted coffee?

[@davesphotogallery]

RonnyKohlmann No, when it comes to fresh roast beans, lighters roasts need to be ground finer, darker more coarse. Every coffee is different and will need to be adjusted accordingly. Also the grind setting will need to be adjusted throughout the week as they become more exposed to the air, not to mention humidity which changes all the time. For the coffee I buy, I set to 4 or 5, I also adjusted the inner burr finer by 1 notch.

[@Tatiana-cp1fc]

I have the breville bambino and very little esspresso comes out. Do you know why?

[@MrKostas21]

hello .. i am thinking of buying this coffee machine.. are you satisfied with it ?? does it need any maintance and if so how often ??

[@ajv0290]

How come on the instructions it comes with, it says to use a finer grind for under-extraction? And you switched to coarser

[@fkrtna]

I'm using quality beans from a local roaster in Melbourne AU, been using this machine for the past 1 week but can't get a good shot yet. everytime it smells burnt. is it normal that shot start to come out for 2 seconds in pre-infusion pressure before it goes to espresso range at around 4/5? mine does that.. it looks in the right pressure but doesn't come as warm honey. even if I insert the arm without the dose just to clean with water, it goes to the espresso range!

[@HoonsCoffee]

Try with pressurized basket and see what happens?

[@fkrtna]

Hoon's Coffee i just found a new info in regards to the machine, there is grind setting inside which is set to 6. Now i know y I wasn’t getting fine grind!

[@E-Cristo]

You’are f… good man. Congratulations for your knowledge 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

[@macdabrows]

I've jjust done my first cleaning with the tablet (after around 2 months of use) and noticed that the pressure does not max out. Any ideas why? When I do espresso, even if everything else is perfectly allright, I never can get past around 11 o'clock on the gauge.

[@denisemiller4964]

Would you change the grind size in the grinder. Or leave it at the pre set number. You did not mention your grind number you are using. I have tired many changes on both and still under extraction every time. Have only had it for 3 weeks. Getting very frustrated . I have fresh roasted beans and some tools to help with the level and tamping. Could use some help. Thank you. 😊

[@jolinacortez8934]

Mine have high pressure …. Should I just set it to five too?

[@king0vdarkness]

What about the opposite? My machine's resting at 8 bar! The steam bar is 1 though which seems okay

[@TurboMiniTV]

Hi! me again! ok, so i'm going to throw this one at you. I have always brewed using the double basket and dose. Ive been using Lavazza Rossa. I decided to try the single (unpressurised) basket. I used the same grind setting as double but the single dose, tamped the same (medium pressure) pressure off the scale, extraction very slow, bitter crap. Have you experimented with the single basket? Its just for those times when i want a lighter drink, less caffeine etc.

[@HoonsCoffee]

Check out this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/d6m1cpVoh8maZqc. This should walk you through my grinder setting process

[@KarlSBerg-ry2ic]

My experience is the same as yours. Good extraction with double espresso tends to be overextracted when brewing single espresso.

[@SmallSpoonBrigade]

The pressurized basket is more foregiving of mistakes. It's really intended for when you have to use ground coffee from the store rather than grinding it yourself. It does an OKish job, but it also limits how good the results can be. If you were only able to afford the espresso machine or the grinder, it's a way of making due with the machine while you save up for the grinder. Not ideal, but it does work.

[@beddhamzah1111]

Hi I wanna ask, I bought beans and it’s a mix beans (arabica & robusta). This beans has no pressure during extraction. Extract very fast like water no crema at all. What should I do? Other beans extract just fine with my Breville barista express

[@joseywales583]

[@ronsimms6530]

Lavazza is a very popular brand in Italy and France

I just got a niche zero and noticed that my breville chokes at extracting even at 22-24 setting with 17g. I am wondering what I might be doing wrong. I thought I needed to go higher numbers as my breville can't handle fine beans but now I am sure I am doing something wrong.

[@lancegordon5492]

Hello Hoon. Does making the coffee grounds coarser create more pressure? It seems like if the grounds were finer they would create more pressure. Thank you for your videos!!!

[@HoonsCoffee]

Actually finer grind makes more pressure.

Hey Hoon, I actually realized I mistook the higher numbers on my barista express as the finer settings. So I was dialing it coarser (thinking it was finer) and getting less pressure. Your videos have helped me so much. Thank you buddy :)

Using Bustelo beans, have grind down as low as 1, adjusted the conical burr grinder to a lower setting, and tamp down with all my might and the pressure needle still barely breaks into "pre-infusion". Do the beans really make that much of a difference??

Bean makes big difference in this machine. Are you using a dark roast?

@@HoonsCoffee Using Supreme by Bustelo 100% arabica beans, the bag doesn't specific "dark roast" but they are a darker bean. I did test the machine with the pressurized cup and the machine pressure went to 12 o'clock so it's functioning properly.
