Would love it if the video had chapters/section markers!

Great idea! Thank you.

August! You helped me buy my first machine! So kind and knowledgeable!

[@clivecoffee]

Thank you for the kind words!

posted just a few days after getting a bambino plus.....I think I'm being watched 😂. Already thinking about getting a flair 58 to extract medium to light roast espresso now though. Thanks for the simple guide to drinks.

I was the same. Buy small, and maybe upgrade over time. Didn't work for me. Within six months I went from a small bean-to-cup machine to a Mozzafiato and a DF83 grinder. 😨

@@FatNorthernBigot I'm happy with the bambino...but, it will not extract anything besides dark. Even a medium dark coffee with a 1:4 ratio is sour. It makes great dark roast or darker espresso though. Better than any place within a 300 mile radius where I live. But now that I can steam milk with the machine I might get the lever flair 58 so I can extract medium and light roasts, as I usually prefer lighter roasts as pourover. So maybe that will translate to espresso. The dark roast espresso has been REALLY good though. Your espresso setup sounds crazy though, probably get some GOOD shots from all beans.

Thank you!!

Thank you for the great video. But single shot is a shot of espresso, double shot is two shots of espresso.

[@clivecoffee]

Most specialty cafés in the US pull doubles standard.

[@DarkKnight-yc8nw]

That is true but they don’t call it single shot. If you ask them they will tell you it’s a double shot.

[@clivecoffee]

@@DarkKnight-yc8nw It's easy to get hung up on terms! Just ask the barista what they're serving.

[@kevinjin81]

whats that grinder ?

[@clivecoffee]

Howdy! This is our LUCCA Atom 75 clivecoffee.com/products/lucca-atom-75-espresso-grinder

Another catastrophically wrong and badly researched KZbin video about different coffee types; A shot of espresso is a single shot, irrespective of what your local coffee shop thinks it is - the confusion is caused by pretending a double shot is a single shot - try that with other weights and measures and let us see how it plays out? What happened to the restretto? Macchiato ... it's controversial if it's not made the way the Italians meant it to be made - Macchiato translates to 'stained' or 'marked'. It is normally served with a spoonful (or two) of foam or a tiny bit of milk with a foam 'hat' NO latte art! A Cortado is not a small latte, cortado roughly translates to cut (i.e cut with milk) the ratio varies slightly depending on where in Spain (and Spanish territories) you drink it, but needless to say, it's a coffee forward drink 'cut' with milk to add a slight sweetness, normally served in a small glass. Cappuccino should not be just steamed milk, its distinguishing feature is a layer of foam (equal parts coffee, steamed milk & foam) - NO Latte Art, maybe a dusting of cocoa powder in Europe. Flat white is not that confusing, they are NOT a cappuccino (see above) or a small Latte. A Flat White favours coffee and has a smaller proportion of microform milk to coffee and is a smaller drink than a Caffe Latte. Please don't be lazy, do some actual research and call out coffee shops who can't be bothered to stay faithful to the origins of the drinks.
