Watch and learn kids! This is how you steam milk the right way. Not sitting there with the pitcher in hand, staring at the ceiling for half a minute. 😀 Powerful Dritan Alsela! 💪🏼

[@jonathansamson4942]

Wow! Love your set-up with three espresso machines in your kitchen. Perfect execution by Dritan. Once this travel ban will be over, I would love to pay myself a visit to your coffee shop and have a nice chat with you guys. Keep up those nice videos. Cheers from Canada.

[@dritanalsela]

Big thanks for your kind feedback Jonathan! Appreciate your support ☺️ Yes, please come visit anytime once possible again. Happy to have a coffee and a chat with you! Cheers

I love this video. I especially love the frothing milk on plates. I need to look into the proper height for my machine. Freeing up your hands saves a ton of time. Great job as always.

[@dritanalsela]

Not sure why I like before watching the video

[@dritanalsela]

Well did you like it though after watching ☺️ ??

[@edwardo5555]

Dritan, you magician. Loving the videos all the way from Melbourne, Australia. Tell me, I see you are running the Atom specialita 75 and niche zero, which do you feel tastes better in the cup as I’m deciding between these two. Thank you!

[@harrischalk]

Probably the 75 as it has flat burrs , and a bigger burr set.

[@dritanalsela]

Hey there and thanks for watching all the way from Melbourne ☺️ Hope to come visit as soon as the pandemic is over. Well, hard to answer. Both grinders are great but have a totally different approach of course. I use the Atom in my coffee shop and it's just insane how reliable they are - even after hundreds of coffees a day. Given that you probably won't be making as many coffees a day as I do in my shop, the Niche would be a great call too ☺️

[@edwardo5555]

@@dritanalsela thank you Dritan and congrats on the new baby to arrive! Yes you must visit Melbourne after this pandemic, many great cafes and roasters to see and I’m sure they would love to connect and show you around - check out Chris Bacas videos on KZbin from his visit to Melbourne. Thanks for the advice on grinders, I ended up buying both

[@m.l7664]

Ich habe eine Frage Herr Dritan.Welchen Kaffee benützen sie der so schön Cremig ist? Lg

[@dritanalsela]

Hallo und danke für deine Frage. Ich röste selber und beziehe meine Kaffees aus unterschiedlichen Ländern. Am Ende muss man einfach mal für sich ausprobieren. Ganz vereinfacht und pauschal gesagt, haben Kaffees mit einem Robusta Anteil etwas mehr Crema. Natürlich kommt es aber sehr auf die Zubereitung an (Mahlgrad, Menge, Druck und Temperatur) ☺️ Hoffe, das hilft ☕️

[@m.l7664]

Herzlichen Dank für diese Antwort! Wünsche dir weiterhin viel Erfolg. Ich schaue mir gerne deine Videos an wenn ich Zeit habe. Schöne Grüße aus Wien Mfg

[@garnel66]

By putting the milk into different jugs won't it make the milk cooler?

[@dritanalsela]

Hi Gary, no.. not to that extend that you would notice. The splitting into different jugs is very important to pour drinks (you can control the amount of foam depending on the drink you want to make) plus for latte art :)

[@garnel66]

[@dritanalsela]

Thanks for watching ☺️

[@Alex-zv4oc]

Hi Dritan, when did you dial in? I read online that every bag of coffee needs to be dialed in to get the sweet spot. I also read the taste differs after time in the hopper, but i don’t see you change the grinder in your video’s. It would be helpful to me if you show that as part of your daily routine. You both are great, hospitality is on your blood. It shows! Very nice to see the love 👍🏻

[@asselinpower]

Don’t worry about this, it s impossible to get a bad shot out of a GS3 😂

[@dritanalsela]

Hi Alexander, thanks for watching and for your kind comment. You are right. You have to adjust the grinder when using a different coffee. In this case it was the exact same that I used earlier so the grinder was dialed in already. And yes, you shouldn't leave coffee beans in the hopper. I make sure to have used the coffee I put into it by the end of the day ☺️ Hope this helps! Appreciate your support man ☺️

[@wngo70]

@@dritanalsela Hello Dritan, you said you use the whole bag by the end of the day on the atom, but if you drink only 1-2 shots a day do you single dose your grinder then? Also how much coffee do you purge before grinding if you do not single dose?

[@EricPetersen2922]

@@wngo70 he purged a full basket at beginning of this video after he filled the hopper. That’s probably your answer. I always burn the first shot in 90% of grinders. On single dose Kafatek MAX (almost no retention) I run a small amount through just to get clean new beans at the start of each day. Maybe 5-10g a small handful.

[@wngo70]

@@EricPetersen2922 Yeah I meant to ask if he purges every day or not on the atom which has somer retention, but yeah thank you for the answer.

[@dextermorgan4594]

Yeeeeeeaaaaah 💪🏻

[@CalinClapa]

Hei Dritan! Why you move the milk from pitcher to another? And then from the final pitcher you pour back a bit..

[@cyendsj]

To distribute equally the air bubbles in milk

[@dritanalsela]

Hi Calin, thanks for watching. As soon as you stop texturing, the foam tends to rise to the top, milk stays underneath. By splitting and thus moving the milk, I make sure the foam stays nicely blended. Another reason: That way I can control the amount of foam that ends up in the cup. So in this case I made 2 Cappuccino with one textured jug. I split it into two jugs and thereby made sure that both drinks end up with the exact same amount of foam in each cup ☺️ And one final reason: Pouring Latte Art with a full pitcher is difficult, doesn't give you space to move. So less milk in the jug is what you want when pouring :) Hope this answers your question!

[@phtgrphy]

wOw amaszing!

[@raphaelbeland3958]

Where did you get these milk pitcher? ☺️

[@dritanalsela]

Hi Raphael, it's my own branded jugs ☺️

[@vettepwr23]

Hi Dritan. Great video. Helpful for me. Been using a Rancilio Silvia V3 for 4 years now. I’m ready to upgrade. Want a dual boiler and better steaming for art. I never steam more than 8 oz at once. In a perfect world I would get a Linea Mini but too expensive. Thinking about Rancilio Silvia Pro. Thoughts?

[@dritanalsela]

Hi there, thanks for the kind comment! Happy to hear the video was of help. I honestly haven't tried the Silvia Pro yet, but will do so very soon. Videos will follow :) Have a great weekend and thanks for your support!

How good is Lelit Anita PL042TEMD for beginner? Is it better than Sage/Breville expressomachine?

[@laserflight]

If you are an avid coffee drinker, save and get something better once and for all.. But generaly, the lelit is a good machine.. id rather go for a separate grinder though..

[@rb8947]

@@laserflight I dont want to spend 1000 euro/$ for expresso machine...i drink 3-4 expresso or latte per day. Not real avid coffee drinker but would like to have good-taste expresso at home. So do you think lelit can fullfill my expectations? What about lelit pl042emi vs temd? Which from those two is better to pick?

[@laserflight]

@@rb8947 3 - 4 drinks per day is quite avid for me..:) but thats relative i guess .. What satisfies your taste buds, that only you can answer..i did some research before i dived into espresso and the lelit temd is a good bang for bucks.. it'll deliver stable shots... the grinder is said to be ok too.. I went for a different setup last year but cuz of different reasons.. first was that i wanted to see if ill stick to espresso based drinks since i grew up drinking English tea.. then the flexibility, control and so on.. Maybe u should go to a shop and try a few to see if the difference is worth it for you.. And yes prices are crazy but even experts will tell u that after a certsin point, the taste changes 2%
