How I make Americano at home

Barista Skills

[@lorenzogabriele9533]

Good point about the water temperature!! I do the same, the water from the machine burns all the coffee and makes it bitter indeed! Also liked the 25" rationale, because if the water stays in contact for these seconds, you could have different ratios but similar extractions.. Cool!

[@MrZhaan]

Great tip Dritan. I lowered indeed the temperature of my added water!! Tasted a lot better!!!

[@poovenchetty6950]

Dritan, I also have a GS3 at home. I use the water boiler and add a cube of ice to my americano. This reduces the temp of the water and adds a touch of sweet to the beverage.

[@MrSoulDevelopment]

Great video, and your English has gotten very good, Dritan! 👏

Always interesting to see how other (home) baristas go about their recipes! Regards from Western Canada.

The home is uber modern. Wow, I wish I could give my parents this kitchen. The as faucet fixture is unique, sturdy and artful, wow. And I do want know what he paid, as a industry owner, for that la marzcozza unit. I would budget like 500-800 for a decent home espresso machine. I've seen the super nice ones in stores here in Portland for 1200, but that's ignorant, pearl district types would pay so much.

This an amazing video❤👍 master chef barista @dritan, thanks for the tutorial and tips on how to the calibrate the coffee dose.

Best channel 👌👌

[@johnwilliamson9453]

Great tip about water temperature , ie 75º! What roast are you using, and are using a typical espresso grind?

[@kenyang687]

When there’s nothing in your home other than coffee ☕️

[@christianvachon2235]

Great! Love the GS3! Nice! Very true about water tempartures. I pull this usually as a kind of reverse "Americano" (it's called a confusingly "long black" here, but it's not a lungo). I run water through an empty portafilter first (keeps the temp of the water and coffee the same), then reset the scale and pull the espresso. The advantage is that the crema on top is intact and it looks kind of better. I like the presentation better. Cheers!

[@hephaistion3]

Hey Thanks! Do you consider the 15g-to-38g combination to be a single espresso or double?!

[@usaroma2356]

Hi, I love your machine. Did you special order the clear side panels from La Marzocco? I didn’t see the clear glass side panel option there. Also, what is brand/ model is your grinder? Thank you

[@67er_matze97]

[@IIVIIaTTx]

Very cool, I think if u put water in cup first and then put espresso on top it looks cool 😎 the crema ☕. Also, do u not dry the portafilter basket before grinding coffee into it? Thanks

[@MikePanic]

What you’re describing is a long black.

[@uglypoe]

You can adjust the tea water temp of the GS3

[@georgepirpiris7309]

I just ordered a new scale to get into precision dosing and ratios for brewing. I never thought to weigh out the water for my americano. This will lead to the water variable being constant. With that I can judge the shot, and not what dilution I perceive.

[@AzizIzgin]

Which scale do you recommend?

[@xrsblb8116]

I use 1:2,23 brew ratio. "For you FREAKS.." Freaks love Dritan 🙃

[@mafshar179]

Like🌺🌺🌺

[@heinerschmitz1259]

I always get the water first an the add the espresso an top to preserve the crema.

[@e33e33e]

What is the color of the Eureka grinder? I can only buy this in red, but it looks like orange?

[@lennonation]

great but 2 suggestions you could try next time and see if it is any better. 1) use a WDT distributor to distribute the coffee grounds before making it a puck by pressing it so the water can evenly go through all coffee. 2) Before adding water to your espresso shot, use a spoon to take out the orange cream from top. The cream even though looks good, actually holds on to a lot of extra bitterness from the coffee grounds due to small bubbles. In an americano/espresso (without any cream/milk/sugar) this step can improve the flavour much more in my experience. With milk/cream this step isn't as important as they can help balance those flavours.

[@coffeebrat_]

Do you know who you talking to??? Lol

[@lennonation]

@@coffeebrat_ not everybody has all knowledge man. And the condescending tone doesn’t help. You could’ve just said yes I do that too. Also comments are just not for your information it’s for anyone else who happens to read it….grow up man

[@maellarsonneur8903]

I wasn't expecting you to pour some extra water in order to make an americano. I always thought that it was different brewing method. However great idea! Bur I have one question, what's the point of having 3 different scales ? ( It's very pricey!)

[@pepsiz1]

great job! This seems to be more of a long black than americano. Usually I pour the espresso shot over the water which avoids burning the coffee.

Thank you so much for sharing! I will try your magic number 25s next time!

[@unfairwarning2889]

Magic number indeed. In all my cafes we love 25-29 depending on the bean. Any less, not enough bitters, any more, too many astringents. Balance

[@nancynguyen8643]

@@unfairwarning2889 thanks for the extra info, is it mean the medium or dark roast bean will be brew different time ?

[@unfairwarning2889]

@@nancynguyen8643 Treat all beans different. Medium or Dark; each bean will have a different density than the other, regardless of roasting profile. Extract in 25-29 seconds, adjust for taste. Light/Medium/Dark profiles can all taste different, but the 25-29 range applies to them all. Some medium beans may taste good at 26, others at 28, same for dark. Good luck!!

Taking Water from the machine first and let it cool down is also possible.
