How to Make Espresso Like A World Barista Champion - ft. BORAM UM

[@KyleRowsell]

Let’s thank Boram for making this video possible. I wanted to chat further and about more but he had to catch a flight. So if we get enough likes and comments, maybe we’ll make a part two - at his farm? 🤔

[@wkapteijn]

I would have liked more specifics to understand his process better. What was the initial pull time & yield compared to his second shot? Did he change the grind setting or kept it the same? Seems like he kepts the grind setting identical and only allowed more water to flow out (40 gram to 45 second shot) so probably the first shot was shorter than that second shot of 29 seconds?? Could even add a overview table comparing variables between shot 1 and 2.

[@daveandmairi]

When I'm dialling in a new bean, I pull the cup at the planned ratio but place a second cup under the flow and collect for another 5-10 seconds. Then if it's too acidic I can mix the two to see if a longer shot sorts it or if I need to vary something else. Saves wasting quite as much coffee.

[@sunshinecycling]

Instead of having this be the Boram Show, it would have helped if you were included in the process and trying each version, so you knew what he was discussing. This was you just introducing him and stepping aside the whole time.

[@saltyprocrastinator]

Thanks for not talking over him or hammering him with questions and just letting him talk us through what he's thinking

[@viperlt86]

How to dial in an espresso shot: 1) Nail your extraction on the first try. 2) Make a tiny change to make it completely perfect on your second try. Easy.

[@KyleRowsell]

If only it were so simple for all of us! The WBC touch

[@novelogram]

I thought the same :D He skipped a little bit on how to nail the starting grind position.

[@Luenysgo]

I think it’s cause ye has a consistent recipe

[@BeyondLumination]

Really goes to show that a good teacher is more than just being good at your craft.

Boram is impecable. Brazil is very proud of our baristas and coffee culture 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

[@KyleRowsell]

As they should be!

[@vicenzoalbertoni3091]

Me pegou de surpresa, não acompanho tão de perto esse mundo, mas do nada ele falou que é BR fiquei feliz pra krl kkkk VAI BRASIL

[@matheusamaz]

show, fantástico saber que a nossa cultura do café chega a esse patamar, como Boram no topo e triste por não ser algo de pleno conhecimento dos BR, precisamos tornar os cafés especiais mais conhecidos no nosso país, chega de café com gosto de carvão! Dá-lhe!

[@piplup10203854]

Dang massive kudos to the entire family and their work ethics and flow. I mean just that intro of who he is not only can you gauge just how much he cares for coffee but also how involved in all of the process and work he puts in. What a cool opportunity.

[@reggiehansen5277]

Wow. Boram is in the coffee world with both feet! Hoping he can elevate the Specialty Coffee world's perception past Brazilian commodity coffees.

[@KyleRowsell]

He already has!

[@leoflowers]

Also, the background was perfect. It wasn’t distracting nor did it drown out the dialogue. Bravo.

[@cybersushishi]

Orgulho demais em ter um brasileiro representando nossa essencia, o café, no mundo todo!! em breve quero participar do barista champion também!!

[@rossbrown6649]

Always enjoy seeing an expert dail-in a shot. I have gone through 3 grinders and 2 espresso machines, but now have to perfect my pallet to be able to distinguish the subtle differences of a recipe.

[@KyleRowsell]

Thanks for watching!

[@tippykaffu4047]

The stuff Boram said in the video is generally widely accepted among most people from a certain group which is great!

[@ShayneScherer]

Thanks Boram! I'll see you at worlds next year with my Peru Gesha

[@kieranmckay9546]

He's very insightful to someone already in the know of how to make espresso but to an absolute beginner they'd be lost as to what he's talking about

[@TheMaxy006]

Thanks Boram 🎉🎉 bet it was great honor to have such guest, when I make a roastery and coffee lab, it would be the great honor to make you Kyle a guest 🤩🤩

[@puddingstar2340]

Honestly saying I really like the background layout and it looks great on wide panoramic view.

[@rr6013]

Boram taught something of import in the few minutes he had to convey his art and profession. I learned an insight that eludes the amateur. Thank you Boram and thank you Kyle for sharing your platform. Best to you all…

[@savioneves8791]

Met Boram at the 2022 Semana Internacional do Café. Very humble guy and amazing barista!

[@KyleRowsell]

Truly!

[@farneis]

Very inspiring video, mostly for us brazilians. Agora é usar essa motivação para melhor o espresso aqui em casa, tkx!

[@ericgroppe2095]

Great to see another brazilian Barista, incredible work Kyle!

[@KyleRowsell]

Thanks!

[@philipkim9701]

Boram thank you for making espresso so simple and approachable.

[@TheMartinChnnl]

Awesome video!! Thanks Boram!! BTW, since you insist so much in the grinder, what grinder do YOU have at your own home?

[@Markinthemix]

What an awesome video. Thanks Borum! And as always, big thanks to Kyle and September.

[@KyleRowsell]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@mainejerjose927]

Thanks, Boram for an in-depth explanation on things to consider to pullling a great-tasting espresso.

[@williss9995]

Nothing like direction from the world’s best-Thanks Boram!

[@darrenkelk3815]

Thanks Boram. That was really cool. Thanks for organizing this Kyle.

[@KyleRowsell]

Thanks for watching!

[@leoflowers]

I don’t even drink coffee, yet I enjoyed this and learned that if you extend the shot it reduces the acidity.

[@ondrejmitas3325]

Thanks Boram! I feel that recipe is overemphasized as a variable, compared to for example flow, distribution, cooling (also shown in the above video) or puck aspect ratio. These things have really changed the sweetness and notes in the first 20ml of espresso for me, whereas changing the recipe in terms of “letting it run” only adds brown water. To my taste.

[@darrenching2336]

Awesome❤ congrats to the champs ! Btw what’s that grinder looks cool

[@KyleRowsell]

Mxcool Aries. I’ll have a review soon.

[@ThEIFiRsT]

Here we have one of biggest and best coffee production and farms. And even better than this , with such an amazing paradise views . I love brazil from all of my heart . One of best country in the world no doubt . Thank you for the amazing video

[@dpactestaccount]

Wow! Goes to show how much I still have to learn. I would have already changed the grind size and not even think about a longer extraction.

[@KyleRowsell]

Ahhhh, that’s amazing! So glad this video was helpful in getting you thinking differently about your extraction!

[@b0nes95]

My thoughts... I thought he would go a bit finer for more contact time.

[@SpektrikMusic]

@@b0nes95 changing grind size is more work than pulling it longer

[@b0nes95]

@@SpektrikMusic yes, on the other hand pulling more water sacrifices some body that you might be interested in if you like traditional espresso.

[@SpektrikMusic]

@@b0nes95 the body of the coffee shouldn't change dramatically if you pull it slightly longer

[@camagears]

Thanks for this fantastic video what RPM and Grind size did you use?

[@BalamCoffeeProject]

Hey! We know that Peruvian Gesha 👀 Thank you so much to you both Kyle & Boram

[@KyleRowsell]

Thanks for sourcing delicious coffees!

[@kimbridge5592]

thank you. Boram. just starting my new home coffe with new machine. experience.

[@christopheranichol9982]

Thank you Boram and Kyle, learning is a continuous process.

[@UncommonS3nse]

Did they discuss the grind size at all and ways to identify a decent starting point? I feel like that's probably one of the most important things for people just getting started, especially if they're not sure what to actually look for in the grinds

[@GadgetsGearCoffee]

Nope, there would be other ones more helpful for that

[@zdzislawaprzyborska5653]

Yes, still happy with the grinder you've advised me to buy ❤ thanks to you I'm enjoying my cup every morning

[@Ghanshyam00000]

This video is exceptionally helpful for brewing expresso at home

[@s96822]

Senor Boram just singlehandedly erased the smiles off the flat burr aficionados. Viva Brasil, great coffee, great surfers, great cirujanos plasticos, y senoritas simpaticas.

[@wilsonline90]

I want to hear more about what his family is doing, more in-depth tips like the ice balls, and what are his preferences for beans and equipment-wise. Obrigado.

[@KyleRowsell]

We stayed clear of competition talk as we wanted to focus on the home barista, for this video.

[@Tnapvrvideo]

Wonderfully detailed presentation. Can someone please confirm the numbers for me. He dosed 20g of grinds in, and, after 29 seconds, he ended with a 46g of liquid espresso in the cup. Am I correct that 46g out = 1.6oz. What is the approximate size in ounces of a typical espresso in the cup/glass? MANY THANKS!

[@sandydennylives1392]

It's down to the coffee beans used and his expert palate. He detected acidity in the first cup so extended the timing of the 2nd with obviously more volume for best results. For that bag of beans only. There is no set rule 20/40. If you want exotica. The gear being used was v expensive also.

[@What_If_We_Tried]

Fantastically clear, concise, and easy to understand suggestions. Thanks so much Kyle for hosting Boram.

[@jesuswasacarpenter]

Ditto! Ty

[@michaelcibula9552]

Thanks Boram! Loved this video. Kyle would be great to have more dialing in videos if possible. Helpful to hear more about then process :)

[@bothomsen5014]

Great short movie and thanks for making it to Boram

[@I999-g2s]

Great fun video, but all I learned was that if your shot is a little sour, you can run it a little longer to smooth it out 😊

[@gordoa172]

Thanks Boram!! Just got a new grinder!!

[@thetruthserum2816]

This is the best coffee video of the summer...

[@KyleRowsell]

Glad you think so!

[@mihatest]

Great video! Thanks Boram!

[@KyleRowsell]

Glad you liked it!

[@DrunkDelilahBrewery]

Question from a newbie. If you make Americano brews from Espresso - is the process the same, nail the Expresso first then dilute or do you need to do something different? Thanks for the video and thanks Boram !!!

[@FLFOREVER]

It would be great if I could make espresso like a world barista competitor at the least 😆 but I'll start here!

[@KyleRowsell]

Best place to start

[@topjets5616]

I agree that the grinder is key, I have a Breville Barista Pro using built in grinder was ok but when I got a Eureka mignon grinder what a difference a grinder can make in flavor :)

[@CH-yp5by]

It would have been good had you explained that for a single origin coffee you go for a larger ration that being a 1:2 of 1:2.5 and for a dark roast or median dark you choose a smaller ration like 1:1 or 1:1.5. Moreover, temperature should be 88 to 90 for Dark roast, 91 to 93 on median dark and 94 to 96 on light roast and a higher temp helps achieve a greater extraction.

[@ChrisH133878]

Thanks very much. I stumbled onto this video as I am in the process of trying to decide between the Lelit Bianca V3 and Bezzera Aria PID/flow control. Both are about the same price in Australia. I'll be using some of the excellent roasted beans available from tropical Queensland.

[@inuitviking]

Thanks, Boram!

[@Getsitdone]

Awesome episode! Thanks Borum!

[@iTzDaNiiLo]

2 shots! 2 shots it took for him to nail the perfect shot being 100% unfamiliar with the machine, the grinder and the beans. Yep, he is something else

Great vid - Quick tip…Dont put white text on a grey background when a video is going to be played on a mobile phone screen!

[@Kabobpapi]

Great video but honestly what would have been amazing is if you put some everyday average espresso machine like a Barista express in front of him to truly engage with the average consumer and those getting into espresso world. maybe another video in the near future?

[@David-pn1bc]

Hello thanks for the video. Which is the brand and model of the grinder please?

[@tomlaberer7685]

great knowledge. great learning. cheers.

[@EWmedia]

How long was the shot and was it 20g coffee in and 40g out?

[@shawnewaltonify]

Thank-you Boram!

[@fabiomalheiro8152]

Thanks Boram! And thanks Kyle too!

[@KyleRowsell]

Our pleasure!

[@justmemikey]

did he start the time after first drops or beginning of pre infusion?

[@brendanlopes7354]

Would you consider increasing the yield from a 1:2 ratio only when the output seems more acidic? What would be some variables to increase the yield ratio?

[@starwatcher]

That September coffee is out off my price range!!

[@cliffcox7643]

Grinder and grind was the most important part of this, but he never changed the grind.. Guess he got it right first time.

[@lukey620]

Would be epic

[@jimschofield968]

Thanks for the advice! I'm having trouble dialling in Indo Gayo and my PNG Sigri on the Bianca. They still taste a bit acidic, even after using preinfusion and low flow automatic functions. Can you advise on how to bring out their true potential?

[@marcosviniciusdecarvalho4030]

Grande campeão! Great champion!

[@salvasied]

Hi, I already bought a Lelit Marax, I am in love with it but I have a problem. I do a correct simple puck prep with a fine ground (I tried multiple settings with a eureka mignon oro sd) but I cant get the pressure of the machine high. It just extracts the coffee the whole time pretty fast and with 3 bars of pressure. I blind tested it and it gets just fine to 9 bars, which is what I am hoping for. Any suggestions?

[@ROQ_75]

Would of luved for the him or the episode to have shown what the grinder dialed in settings were or how he came up with them

[@Charsept]

So there are 4 variables: dose, yield, brew time and grind. Obviously only change one at a time when tweaking. But, how do you know which to change?

[@hasanalasadi5308]

Sure thank you Boram 😊

[@MarcS4R]

[@camaperture8116]

Maybe I missed it but how did he adjust for the second shot? He mentioned acidity and wanting to go longer so I’m guessing he ground a bit finer?

[@KyleRowsell]

Nope! He ran the shot for a longer ratio.

[@camaperture8116]

Ah…interesting. Would have been, or would be good to know why he adjusted that variable rather than the grind size. Maybe in a future video!

[@tommihommi1]

changing grind size changes a lot of things at once. Just letting the shot run a little bit longer is a easy adjustment that can tell you a lot about what's going on. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Not changing grind size a lot is a common technique especially when dialing in with commercial grinders

[@KyleRowsell]

@@camaperture8116 he mentioned this. He said it was near perfect, but wanted to balance acidity and thought extended the shot would achieve this best.

[@camaperture8116]

@@KyleRowsell I did catch that but with my machine, which is very different, grind size can affect extraction time.
