When you start espresso journey and start looking for information how to do it properly, what I've found is a huge overload of information from all these big coffee channels. It's always overengineered, overcomplicated, filled with ambiguous information and no clear paths. This video explained the whole thing in half an hour :)

I recently bought an Breville Barista Express espresso machine. Through much experimentation and frustration, I discovered that brewing my coffee at the 25 second and 1:2 ratio (parameters most commonly recommended in most other KZbin videos) resulted in shots that were very acidic (under extracted). I started to tinker with brew ratios and brew time and found that a 1:2.5 ratio and 29 seconds achieved a MUCH better shot - more well rounded with more sweet notes (properly extracted). As I started to think more about this, I wondered if this had something to do with the type of coffee that I was brewing, which have mostly been lighter roasts specialty coffees. This video provided a ton of insight into my experience with espresso thus far, and emphasized a point that is not talked about enough when it comes to dialing in a shot - the roast level (and elevation). Very good information that will make me much more prepared to dial in future coffees of different roast levels. Will definitely recommend this video to others who are new to brewing espresso, as adjusting for roast level has made a huge difference in my coffee drinking experience

Ah, I think they meant that 19-22% is the ideal range for extraction yield (EY), not TDS. For those wondering, EY = TDS x (yield/dose). For pour overs, a TDS of 1-2% is standard. And for espresso, 8-12 % is standard. But for both, an EY of 19-22% is what we want.

Very good information, the lighter roast presented looked like a Medium roast. I recently received some whole beans that are roasted light (very light) and have tasting notes of Berry; Toffee; Citrus and elevation of 1400-1800. So I believe that bumping the water temp another notch 4C (total) and a ratio of 1:3 would be advised and the basket used would be 18gr. Looking forward to giving it a go and seeing the outcome. I am having issues with getting very bitter shots with multiple beans, hopefully, this information will provide resolution!

@z000110012 жыл бұрын
If you cannot adjust temperature then is it better to increase time? I find 30ish seconds too fast in my cheap machine that seems to set at low temperature. I usually go much longer at 40 to 1 minute 17 seconds. 40ish seconds for medium roast. I order from bluetokaicoffee though I stick to only organic or another who is in process of getting organic. Former is medium roast and latter is light roast. Both comes out super good at much longer intervals. I have noticed that time can be ruled out. Like I get similar taste at 41 seconds and 50 seconds etc depending on grind size. I don’t have high end grinders… one is hands held that gives me just one usable setting and rancilio gives me just 2 settings…. Depending I run longer or shorter. I also find I don’t have to target anything more than 1:1.5 though sometimes I go up to 1:2 depending on coffee age or outside temp and humidity.

Hello, I have a question as a beginner home barista. I have the Sage barista express and I bought a really dark roast bean (of course fresh and high quality). I weigh my beans, 15-16 g (I started with 18 g but found it to be too much amount to fit in the basket, I read somewhere it's because of the dark roast) and I pull a 1:2 ratio shot ending up with ish 36 g of espresso. I have tried both finer and coarser grind but can't find a good setting that fines my problem. SO HERE IS MY PROBLEM: 1) The time to pull my shot is super super fast... I end up getting 36 g of espresso in like 7 sec... And I understad that I should grind my coffee finer but this doesn't seem to help. The dark roast been becomes extremely fine, like more fine than powder. 2) When I grind the beans at a finer setting I end up with a wet puck. I understand this is a symptom of too fine grind which I guess is the case because grinding my dark roast that fine as I said makes it almost vanish haha... But setting a coarser grind just pulls the shot so fast (like 5 sec??) and I end up with no crema at all. 3) The taste is really strong and has a lot of bitter tones and almost a little sour sometimes. Please help me succeed with my dark roast espresso! Any tips?? What grind setting should I try?
@mbnto31354 жыл бұрын
That was excellent. Quick questions. Lighter roasts where I'm from have very bright acid notes and I can't balance them out. How to do so? Reduce grind size? I also have pressure profilie control, so if i have a super long pre infusion at low pressure and high temperature, will I get more sweetness and less of the acid? Or if a roast is very acid, is there nothing you can do to reduce acidity, and maybe I just dont like that note as much as those in darker roasts? I'd like to enjoy the lighter roasts more and expand beyond darker italian styles but haven't been successful, so thanks for any help!

Great illustration and explanation, just TDS which basically refers to total dissolved solids in water, which dictate the final taste of the water, your interpretation of coffee extraction is confusing as an espresso contain 88% water so the TDS and pH orientation does affect the final mouthfeel and taste of the espresso.
