Hi Hoon! I discovered that flour sack cloths have a flatter weave and clean the frothing wand so much better than regular kitchen towels. Walmart and dollar tree both carry flour sack cloths very cheap where I live. Hope this helps someone who has had a hard time cleaning the milk off their wands!

Thanks for the tip!

HOON! First me and my wife love your videos, you have taken us from rookies to experienced novices lol. My question is when measuring your double shot, should the top of crema hit 2 ounces or the top of dark coffee, please settle this disagreement between us! Thanks again!

[@munkybiz9562]

If I may, can I answer that? That’s *exactly* why it’s preferable not to volumetrically measure espresso (or other type of coffee) yield, fluid ounces in your case: thickness of crema is variable and this is why you cannot depend on it to measure espresso yield. Always *weigh* both your dose and yield. It’s much more accurate and consistent. Check Lifestyle Lab’s channel.. he explains it pretty well there.

@@munkybiz9562 AWESOME INFO! Thank you, this makes much more sense then what we were doing!

Just bought one of these machines, found this video very helpful and informative. Thanks for the upload.

I heard that the vinegar isn't recommend for descale/decalcifying because over time (years) breville found that it was dissolving the gaskets within the machine. Better to use the citric acid solution found in dezcal and other brands.

New subscriber here! Great videos learning a lot from you! I'm still getting a wet portafilter after brewing and I have to make it very thin like a 3, and put a lot of coffee in order to get the right amount of pressure, any tips? I belive the coffee is fresh but is hard to get roasting date here in Dubai.

[@munkybiz9562]

There are a lot of high quality specialty roasteries in the UAE.. Dubai in particular. You can even get it delivered to your doorstep, roasting date included and all.

[@fernandoi.1477]

@@munkybiz9562 I will try to order online thanks for answering the questions on the direct one.

Learning to use my new Barista Espresso. Very 3xciting and thanks for the tips. Q: When i measure out 16-17 g for a double shot, it seems to way overflow the coffee thing. Should I reduce or should it all fit? And yes I am using the double shot cup. Thanks

[@topjets5616]

Thanks, I'm a newbie so everything is good :)

[@HoonsCoffee]

Great to hear!

[@tinaphihuynh]

Mery Christmas Hoon and your family

[@richterstitcher7936]

Ok perfect timing my clean light stays on. I’ve had it 2months so I’m thinking it’s time to descale? 👍

[@HoonsCoffee]

You should!

[@munkybiz9562]

The Crema dosing cup is out of stock now 😢

[@tmartins63]

Mine comes out of the portafilter. Is that normal, does it still back flush?

[@HoonsCoffee]

It is normal.
