[@rubyrage8598]

Good day sir! I would like to let you know that before coming to your video I had been sitting in front of my machine for well over an hour, pull after pull achieving the same result (not even registering pressure and just flushing through the Porta filter)... After burning through an entire bag of coffee, countless reddit posts, and a ton of other youtube videos, I came across this! And YOU sir saved my machine, you saved my machine from being destroyed, pulverized, beaten into pieces, unidentifiable as an espresso machine, obliterating it into sub particles like The Avengers by Thanos... But as I sit here, buzzing off my numerous tastes of sour espresso shots, and sipping on my desired iced latte I had been trying to achieve, I would like to thank you for saving my machine and bringing harmony into our previously tumultuous relationship. Balance has been restored in my home, my wife, kids, and machine owe it all to you.. Not all heros wear capes sir 👏

[@AjusCafe]

I like your comments. Glad I could save your machine from destruction 😃👍. Made my day.

That saved me! That's three years I've been pulling lousy shots. Nothing about the burr in the manual. Thanks so much!

[@lukemaddux229]

This is the first comment I've ever made on KZbin, and for good reason. This is a HUGE improvement over every result I was getting. I had no idea the burr setting could be changed. I, like you, was all the way down on 1 and still getting no pressure. Really, really appreciate you taking the time to make this. Cheers.

[@1o1m1g1osdf]

This fixed my problem. Most guides I have seen gloss over exact burr/grind setting details. This is the only video I have seen which REPRODUCES the problem and FIXES it in the same video. Thanks!

Thank you and glad you fixed it

Thank you bro, I’ve been 4 days with horrible espresso and no pressure......I was going to return it. and finally I find you 🙏🏿💐

[@harleenmroke6780]

Love how straightforward this video is. I was having major issues with the pressure not reaching the grey zone until I came across your video - thank you!

[@Brutelson]

You sir have prevented a murder and/or some serious criminal damage thanks to your amazing video. I used up two bags of Harrods coffee beans trying to get the pressure up on various grind settings and couldn’t. I could only produce sour and bitter shots with no crema. Since adjusting the internal burr to 3 and exterior grinder to 4 I now have perfect pressure with sublime crema topped espressos. I thank you a thousand times for taking the time to publish this video :D

[@AjusCafe]

So glad to hear that Jack and appreciate your feedback. It helps me to produce more tips 👍

[@margotedwards4326]

Love your comment, seems like everyone on the list was about to be sentenced to a lifetime of imprisonment!!!

[@Brutelson]

@@margotedwards4326 I’m a very patient person and this machine put me to the test. I was pissed because I’d wasted all my nice coffee from London and because the machine had cost a lot of money. The kitchen was a dangerous place to be at the time, lol. But here I am a year later and I LOVE my morning coffee routine. Worth every penny and the initial near-bloodbath :)

[@BrownDevil]

My man!! I just unboxed this thing today and after many bad samples and I'm sure a very wired sleepless night, I found your video, made my adjustments, grind 4 burr 3 and BOOM!! Thank you!!!

[@AjusCafe]

Glad to hear that! See part 2 and part 3 of Low Pressure video. Always used Freshly Roasted beans. Have fun with the machine.

[@lalaland916]

The first shots you pulled were exactly how mine looked the entire day I was practicing. This is the first video I've seen this tip, thank you!!!

[@AjusCafe]

Appreciate your feedback. Hope it worked for you

[@wkiskanak]

I can't thank you enough for making this video! I was so disheartened that I spent so much on this machine only for it to not really work... But it works just fine, all I needed to do was follow your instructions! I'm still having trouble getting it to taste like it does when I buy it from the coffee shop, but I'm far closer now thanks to you!

[@xpez9694]

This machine turning out to be an expresso journey. I hope you got the flavor you were searching for...My journey is just beginning...going to get beans to see if I can get my machine working properly... :)

[@mallorymaxton5638]

THANK YOU! I have been battling my machine for months now trying to figure out what was wrong. I was ready to throw in the towel and everything.

[@jen4316]

Thank you for making this video!! I finally purchased this machine after wanting it for over five years. So you can imagine my disappointment when I finally got to use it and realized the pressure was too low. I spent two days troubleshooting it via its official manual, but it was your video and tips that finally fixed the issue. I was able to enjoy my first properly extracted shot of espresso this morning. Cheers ☕

[@AjusCafe]

Thank you Jen for your feedback. Another important tip is to only use freshly Roasted beans from a local Roaster and buy small quantities enough for 2 or 3 weeks.

[@paintdoctormd]

Thank you very much sir, I bought this machine on Saturday and this burr adjustment was absolutely the trick. I set the inside burr setting on 2 and the outer dial on 4, and for the first time ever got the pressure dial pointing straight up using the single wall filter. Finally doing it right! Properly flowing espresso is a beautiful sight to see!

[@wadenshell211]

So mine went from no pressure to now too high of a pressure 🙄 I do not want to waste another bag of coffee on figuring this out!

[@user-dp1dj9or4e]

To low pressure on single wall and works good on double wall. What can I do? I changed the inside grid setting to 3 and outside grid size to one nothing still not pressure.

[@user-dp1dj9or4e]

When I put the double wall filter in it worked.

[@phatwell85]

Something of note - I was having similar issues of low pressure on my machine. Adjusting the burr definitely helps to ’fine’ out your grind, but the majority of the time, this is not the issue. The issue comes from the seal when locking your portafilter. Don’t just turn to where it says lock on your machine, but extend it to where you feel the ‘click’ or no more turn.

[@AjusCafe]

Thanks Josh. Thats one possible cause if your GroupHead seal is worn out or torn. I covered this point as well in Part 2 or Part 3 of Low Pressure video in my channel.

[@miriamrios93]

Hmmm. I’m a newbie. Thank you!

[@khalidvr6]

If the seal is torn, you will notice it. Pressure and water will escape the torn seal..

[@Theegoaat]

Yup they should really put a sticker saying turn untill you can't no more or something.

[@nancyadams9228]

Thanks! What an informative video!

[@JayJay-nb2mb]

You are an angel sent down from the coffee gods! I was getting little to no pressure and flushing through cup after cup of sour watery mud until I took your advice, ended up at BURR: 3 GRIND: 5 and just pulled a wonderful cup of espresso. The machine will now have a home here instead of the city dump, you made a world of difference today! Thank you sir!

[@AjusCafe]

Use freshly Roasted beans always to avoid pressure and taste issue. 🙂👍

I've watched at least a dozen other videos and nobody covered the low pressure problem like you did. Thank you for making this and saving my sanity.

[@andi250890]

Thank you so much, my pressure barely lifted and I was beginning to think it was faulty! I adjusted the grinder and I'm at up in pressure for about 24 seconds and the coffee is much better 😀

[@AjusCafe]

@@farleftsilencelikenazis1021 This is not an issue with the machine. This can happen to store bought beans and beans that are not fresh. My machine is still perfect. I set my Grind setting at 7 and burr at default 6 for Lavazza espresso or fresh beans. This demo was done with few weeks old beans.

[@peterdorsa4938]

Thanks for this video, a few days ago I started getting low pressure on my Barista and the flow rate too fast and amount extracted increased as well. I adjusted the internal burr size to 3 and that was too fine, final setting was burr size 5 and grind setting 6 which for the beans I'm using which are fresh gave me a pull of 52ml at 29 secs using 17 g. This produced a great shot, which I unfortunately cannot drink unless I want to be buzzed out of my freakin' mind! I did not know this about the burr size so thank you.

[@AjusCafe]

Thank you soooo much. I was about ready to return mine because i thought it was having major issues with the grinder. Copied your exact burr and grind settings and instantly perfect pressure.

[@AjusCafe]

Glad to hear that

[@nigeldarling5734]

Very clear for every one on changing the burrs setting, it has its place but...tamp pressure is not that important, coffee freshness is the key, I've found that its not worth the trouble changing the internal burr. Change your coffee beans! you need fresh beans, buy with a roasting date on bag. Ideally 2 weeks from purchased. I found this to solve all my problems, I even roast my own beans now and pressure and crema are always amazing. My dial in setting is now around 8-7 for fresh medium roast, and 5 for fresh dark, medium my favorite as I'm not a fan of oily beans. Give it a go. I live in the UK, and I've found some coffee on amazon with a roasting date on by "coffee masters" excellent for UK shop bought. Single origin bean roasting at home is great fun and coffee is always superb. All the best.

[@squidgits]

Thanks so much for this video. We were having this exact problem and I had researched about adjusting the burr setting but was still a little nervous about trying it. Seeing you recreate the exact problem we were having and show how you problem solved each step of the way really helped me understand the machine better and left little doubt that this would fix our problem. Our coffees are back to being perfect and delicious :)

[@AjusCafe]

So glad to hear that this helped 🙂👍

[@coffeeguy6673]

NIce, clear and concise video Aju, great job. Just a couple of tips if I may, when adjusting the grind you should really run the grinder when making the adjustment, each time you adjust then run some coffee off and discard, secondly, you should weigh the dose as well, 9g single, 14-15g double . Before placing the portafilter in to the group, run some water from the group, this takes off any steam build up and stops the water burning the coffee. As a professional coffee machine engineer with over 20 years of experience these are just a couple of tips to add to what is already a great hints and tips video. At the end of the day, taste is subjective. Cheers all, enjoy your espresso !

Thanks for your feedback and thanks for the tip. Appreciate that.

[@mart1an42]

Much appreciated!!! Not only did I learn how to set the machine, but I also learned about a new tamping product. Got out my vacuum cleaner and once I cleaned out the seat for the burr it worked like a charm. Sometimes it is the small things that make a huge difference. Cannot thank you enough! This got you a follow.

[@LiquidLensPhotography]

I watched your video last night and used what I learned this morning to make my first latte using my new Barista Express that arrived yesterday. My first expresso out of the gate and using the single-walled basket was absolutely perfect! Pressure zone was right in the sweet spot! I used the same beans and milk that I have been using for years with an older Breville Duo machine and the results tasted completely different like it was made at the best of coffee shops! Thank you for the great video!

Awesome fix thank you! Have had the breville for 2 years now and it started just a few weeks ago not even coming close to the right pressure. Called breville and they just told me I had to use the dual wall filter instead. Tried your fix and it worked!! Thanks! 👌💪

[@AjusCafe]

Awesome...! so glad to hear that. Dual wall won't bring out all the flavors of espresso like single wall. Using freshly roasted beans can solve most of the low pressure issue. Enjoy your espresso!

I ordered one machine and this problem kept occurring. I youtubed fixes and messed with it for two days. I then ordered another machine and shocking... same problem occurred. You saved my day, it was the actual grinder that needed to be adjusted on the inside. Nicely done sir.

[@ssbb9636]

The factors that influence the quality of the espresso coffee are: 1. The freshness of the beans 2. The temperature of the flow 3. Grain size 4. Ratio coffee:water i mean input weight of the coffee: weight of the shot output 5.distribution of the coffee grains in the basket 6. Channeling in the basket

[@jonesjardel]

Someone lucid here. Thanks

[@BeyondTheMind007]

How do you check if your barista express has the right temperature? or does this come down to waiting 20 mins for your machine to heat up before making one?

[@lw5359]

Very useful information, than you for making this video! A couple things I would say are, I think you should use a scale to measure your dose. It's hard to just eyeball to within a gram accuracy, and a difference of 16g vs 17g can be significant. The other thing is that your tamp seemed a bit light. I don't know how you calibrate that tool you are using, but just watching you it seemed that the tamp pressure was low, and that can also make a big difference.

[@arthurj2520]

i WEIGH out 18 grams. this might be more than he is using as mine piles higher..

[@brianafassett]

Thank you for this video!! My friend gave me his old machine before his move. After a LOT of cleaning. He never cleaned or descaled it. We got it to working condition.

Well, this fixed the low pressure issue. Thank you for the tip--I had no idea there was an internal burr setting. Switching from 6 to 4 internally was even too much so I will try setting 5 tomorrow. I have had my machine for just over a year and it was working beautifully--this problem just popped up a couple of weeks ago. I'm worried there is another issue at play to cause this to happen so suddenly. But I hope not and am thankful it is working for now!

[@jenniferknorr3885]

Also, your tamper looks pretty sweet!

[@AjusCafe]

The burrs will be still good after a year. Depending on the usage. Everything u said sounds normal to me. Some beans need some tweaking. Also ensure you always buy freshly Roasted beans with a Roasted date not more than 1 week (Not best before date)

Thank you so much! This solved the issue for me. I had been trying to figure out the solution for over a month.

[@AjusCafe]

Glad to hear that

[@matthewmantione9465]

Wow. This fixed it for me. Thank you. I was ready to pay someone to diagnose the problem. Im beyond happy. Thanks man.

[@yamisosa6923]

Thank you!! This worked and I can’t stop mopping about my machine being broken. I really appreciate you taking the time to make this video.

[@AjusCafe]

So glad to hear that

[@stevemarsh9264]

Thank you for this video...worked a treat on our 3 year old machine. I'm presuming this part will need replacing when there is no more adjustment.

[@stevemarsh9264]

Nope...watched second video and it was my beans. Caught between two deliveries and used old beans which caused pressure problem...put in my usual fresh beans after resetting burr back to 6 and everything normal. Cheers.

[@AjusCafe]

It won't wear off that easy. Takes years. Fresh beans is a good move.

[@user-qm3tu7bg1z]

Your video was so easy to follow, I was able to follow your directions step by step. I appreciate your teaching skills!,,

[@AjusCafe]

Thanks a lot

[@dirossiale]

GREAT STUFF. I was planning to return my brand new Sage Dual Boiler, but not needing to do that as I've resolved the pressure issue with your video. Thanks lots😍🤩

[@AjusCafe]

Gald to hear that

[@lyndagarrison170]

All praise Aju 🙌🏼💯 I recently purchased this to help save my husband money 💰🤣 (I was spending $7 just about everyday at Starbucks 🥴😧) Now I had used it several times beautifully, and all of the sudden it had 0 pressure!!! I tried EVERYTHING, was at my wits end, chalking it up to a defective machine. Until I found your channel 🤗 To be completely honest I didn’t have much faith that it was going to work. That’s how little pressure I was getting. When that little needle moved I just about cried 🤣 I ended up with a grind size of 7 and burr of 3 for my perfect shot. I had no idea there are so many variables that can affect an espresso 🤦🏼‍♀️ I literally can not thank you enough for your videos. They are so informative! Please continue to do what you do for us newbies 👏🏼

[@AjusCafe]

Thank you for the detailed reply feedback. Its good to read that and I'm so glad you manage to fix the issue and get great espresso. The trick is to always buy freshly Roasted coffee beans with "roasted date" (not expiry date) in small quantity enough for 2 weeks. Make sure you consume it in a month. There'll be great taste difference too.

[@cynthiab681]

Thank you so much this fixed my low pressure problem. You were video was the first one that showed me about the internal adjustment

[@AjusCafe]

Thank you. So glad to hear that you fixed the issue.

[@haithemibrahim2168]

Thank you so much...it was such a quick and easy fix. No other video explains this! I got the machine for Christmas and was so disappointed when it was t working properly, I was telling my wife she may have to return it, but I found this video and bam bam bam instant results and great espresso shots!

[@AjusCafe]

So happy to hear that... see part 2 video too. Thanks for the feedback

[@fraserhyldon]

This video saved my sanity. All of a sudden I was getting 0 pressure on the lowest grind. I didn't realise you could adjust the internal burr size. Dropped from the default 6 to 3 internally and 4 on the external and with 18g of beans I'm getting a beautiful pull and double espresso. Thanks for posting

[@AjusCafe]

Vow great

[@user-ej6ld7re9d]

Thank you!!! My machine is back to working like new! Great pressure on the first pull!

[@AjusCafe]

That's awesome

[@tiffanymerritt8247]

Thanks for this video! I was able to get perfect pressure in the high range with my burr set on 3 and my outside grinder set on 5 and the single filter. You helped me learn how to turn the inside grinder, other videos do not show you that! Thanks again!

[@cleanjean15]

thank you, I have had my machine for a couple of years and today, I got more education on setting, appearance and taste results. Nice Job!

[@AjusCafe]

Glad to hear that

[@michaelwong7073]

Of all the videos on this, you're the only one that solved the problem! Also, I bought the same tamper, what a difference! My settings, Grind Size 2, Burr 3. But, I also have old beans from Costco. I'm going to purchase fresh coffee and try again. I may have to adjust due to the new coffee. But, now I have pressure. Nice work!

[@AjusCafe]

Thank you and happy to hear that 🙂

[@adamsfu]

Great video. Been trying to find out the issues and I haven’t found another video where the bring up the burr size. Awesome. Thank you

[@AjusCafe]

Glad to hear that Adam

[@katycole9059]

The whole time I was watching this video I was thinking "but what caused this issue in the first place? It just suddenly started happening one day, not even gradually". At the end he says that it's essentially a worn out burr grinder that we're compensating for with the adjustment, which make sense. Did others also experience this issue suddenly? Has anyone had to replace a burr grinder? Aju - this video was extremely clear and helpful, thank you!!

[@Salzyyyy]

Thank you for taking the time to make this video, once I switched to single wall open style portafilter setup I wasn’t able to get a proper extraction. Adjusting the bur setting solved my issue, thanks again l! 🎉

[@AjusCafe]

Welcome

[@mattwalker5383]

Thank you thank you!! I had no idea about the burr adjustments. I don’t fully get how that is different than the grind size but, wow, that was the fix!!

[@AjusCafe]

Glad to hear that

[@josephlovan4102]

Big help for my wife great video Thanks!

[@ssirany]

Thanks so much! i’m having problems with no pressure. Your video help solved my problem.

[@AjusCafe]

So glad to hear that

[@stevenwoodbridge1829]

Thanks for the great video. We just bought this machine today and thought the pressure gauge was broken at first, but you saved the day. I've currently got it set to Burr 4, Grinder 1 but I'm going to adjust the burr to a finer setting to bring the grinder into mid range. One other thing I've learned (and I may have missed it in your video) is to empty the hopper of beans and then clear the grinder of residual beans before removing the burr collar. Saves a lot of hassle trying to remove the mess before reinstalling. Thanks again.

[@AjusCafe]

Yes its recommended to vaccum before you remove the upper burr. Also for espresso always use freshly Roasted beans with a roasted date not older than 1 week and use it in 4 weeks. Buy in small quantity from a local roaster.

[@stevenwoodbridge1829]

@@AjusCafe Lesson learned on cleaning out the burr first, lol. But now it's adjusted it really does make a better espresso than our previous machine. Even my morning americano was noticeably nicer.

[@apjpl]

Impressive, tuning the burr grinder solved my low-pressure problem. Thank you very much!
