[@Goetterdaemmerung86]

I got some stale, old beans that I had serious difficulty "dialing" in with my barista express, (of course the grinder is not the best and there are better, but it can work OK with good beans In my experience), no matter how much I played with grind size, amount, and tamping, I just couldn't get high enough pressure at all. I decided to put in a dual wall/pressurized basket in, and WOW! Great pressure! Surely not the best espresso in the world, but I could absolutely, ABSOLUTELY, taste a difference, it was actually pretty good! Now I know what I can do with subpar beans, Hope is not lost!

[@TCSMaingot]

Thats the same problem that i was having when i used mass produced beans ie Dunkin donuts etc. And the pressurized basket really did solve it. Only when i use fresh, locally and freshly roasted beans can i use the single wall.

[@ashishrawat2812]

Thank you for educating us about single and double walled baskets. You are doing a great service.

[@arp_909]

I find with the pressurised basket you have to do much less work dialling in the optimum settings. You do get a crema but it’s very foamy. With the non-pressurised you have to get the settings spot on to extract at sufficient pressure and you get an extremely good, silky crema when you get it right

[@Director-M]

Is it all about the crema? Basically, is it accurate to say if you nail the crema, you nailed the espresso taste(bitter vs sour, aka over vs under extracted)? I bought my Bambino on January 19 and only started to transition to the non-pressurized basket 2 days ago.

[@ramflyer1899]

The double wall filters are used to turn old coffee into a halfway decent shot with faked crema. The Crema is a sign of freshness due to the presence of CO2. When you have pre-ground or old coffee that’s been completely depleted of CO2 getting Crema extracted can be a huge challenge. That’s where the double walled filter comes into play. Not sure why Breville provides one as there is a built in grinder but I guess it’s in case you have pre-ground our old coffee.

[@HoonsCoffee]

Great information!

[@FriskTheFallen]

yeah its for if say you like a certain espresso that only comes in a can of pre-ground or something like that, where it's nice to have.

[@paviaaPS3]

Not true, if beans are roasted long time ago you will get no crema if you use non pressure basket, comes down to freshness of beans

[@lippa2105]

I went to Italy 🇮🇹 last year with my best friend, we went to a different cafe on a daily basis, and one thing every cafe had in common was the way they prepared and served our espresso. We ordered double shot espressos - after they extracted the shot, they would skim off most, not all of the crema, and gently stir. They then served us our espressos with a small glass of sparkling water and told us to take a sip of water to cleanse the palette, then enjoy your espresso - taking little sips of water in between. I now do the exact same thing at home whenever I enjoy a delicious espresso.

[@HoonsCoffee]

How was the portion of espresso?

[@lippa2105]

@@HoonsCoffee I believe it was two ounces.

[@nattyphysicist]

The double wall also requires dialing in. I find that a pressurized setup requires a much courser grind. This is likely why it tastes more bitter in your test. I have the Saeco pressurized machine and I'm wondering if its worth upgrading: grinder and portafilter. Its an expensive proposition for what? More trouble and the same taste?

[@HoonsCoffee]

Pressurized basket was made for pregrind beans so you don't have to worry about the grinder settings.

according to the manual it says to use the double wall for pre-ground beans, and the single wall for fresh from the machine.

[@HoonsCoffee]

You're right well. Double wall is so much easier to use than Single wall for sure.

[@chianti95]

For the pressurized basket, I’ve found a slightly less finely ground coffee works better. I’m awaiting the arrival of a new grinder, but for now have determined that I can’t currently grind finely enough for espresso in a non pressurized basket, but when I use the same coffee in a pressurized one, it’s too fine. A slightly coarser grind gives more Crema and less bitterness.

[@TheSageSpeaksB4U]

What a good idea, Hoon, to compare the two types, because no one else seemed to be concerned enough to tell us why two wall is needed. Actually you didn't say why they made a double wall either, but it's good to know you tasted a difference, and I have a single wall, so I'm happy. Ha! Ha!

Hello, I am new to the Breville Barista Express. My doubt is which basket I should use(single wall or double wall) for my coffee grounded by my Barista Express?

[@wojciechzudro1301]

Hello. Are you guys really warming up the sage barista express about 15 min every time before use or you make one blind shot to warm it up? Or you just wait until buttons stop blinking and then just pull a shot?Cause I don't really think it matters and affects taste and temperature of espresso because flowing hot water makes group head instantly hot so why should we waste more time or energy to warm it up?

I get no pressure in the dial when I use the non pressurize basket. It doesn’t even touch the gray area. What am I doing wrong? I tried different settings to grind the coffee. Anything from 2 to 15. Nothing worked. The inside settings for the grinder are set to 6. Help needed. 😀

So grateful for your videos cuz I just got the machine and it's not easy for me to pull a great shot yet.

[@KamalChowdhury]

Question to Mr Hoon: When I use single wall I hardly get any pressure. The pressure dial hardly moves up no matter what I tried: changed the grind size between 1-3, used the freshest beans, tamped pretty strongly but nothing works. Does that mean the pressure valve is faulty. I do get good pressure (10-12) when I use the double wall. I hope you can suggest me what to do

[@HoonsCoffee]

Can you tell me what kind of bean are you using it now? Is that dark roasted bean?

[@mirantilin]

Me too!! But only happens when I use single wall for double shot. Single shot works fine, but the single wall double shot basket never gives me the right pressure, it barely moves. I adjust everything, grind size between 1 and 5, beans and tamped it very hard or light. I wasted two bags of beans on this so I ended up using the double wall

[@bethkirkley455]

Same here, help! I wonder if they were manufactured around the same time. We got ours this past summer

my Breville 860xl-I’ve descaled it, cleaned it out following the manual guidelines however, still randomly serves up a very foamy bubbly crema. Some extractions are nearly all crema. I’ve experimented with settings and please note it’s random. I’ve changed the roasted bean suppliers, grind settings and coffee proportions. My preference is a dual wall, double shot. The instruction manual says to set the grind to “dual wall” . I have tried dual wall, 8, and 14. Once again note it’s random. Sometimes I’ll get two or three perfect shots and then 3-4 really foamy, bubbly shots. Have you experienced a similar occurrence or can you offer any ideas on ideal settings? Cheers. Note the Foamy crema makes it difficult to add some milk artwork. The taste is ok.

[@ShervinLeMan]

For a diligent person to have random shots, one thing to try / very common is: to TAP a few times pre-TAMP; so make sure the grind settles without air pockets

[@makgajwerek]

Nice video. I have Bambino plus and I use pressurized buskets. What could be the reason that after extraction my cofee puck stuck to the busket and ejecting from the basket is not so easy as yours? On the other hand I use 17-18 gram doze but my extraction time is only 23 seconds.

[@HoonsCoffee]

it does that with pressurized basket all the time.

[@makgajwerek]

@@HoonsCoffee Thanks. I startedt to use pressurized buskets because when I used non presusurized uually I had wet cofee puck, water on cofee puck or my coffe puck was sucked onto the group/shower. It was practically happening with different espresso grinder settings (4-15). Later, a representative of the manufacturer informed me that my model Bambino plus works better (was desiigned) on pressurized buskets.

[@ColinSu]

Can somebody explain, If the unpressurized one tastes better and smoother than the pressurized one, why don't we just keep using the single wall filter? is there a specific scenario that we would definitely go double wall than single wall? Expresso newbie here :) thanks for answering.

[@jackzhangxiao]

When your grinder couldn’t grin fine enough, I.e water flow too fast. You use pressurised.

[@louisd95714]

Hi, can you compare to the way the coffee tasted in the pressurized portafilter as compared to a superautomatic? I had a superautomatic, and I returned it because I was not happy with the espresso shots. I just want to see how bad it is as compared to the Breville.

[@yttean98]

useful info above. With your depth of knowledge can you answer these questions, using a machine that can make an expresso coffee from 1. an unpressurized filter what is the nominal pressure generated by the coffee machine in order to produce a good cup of coffee. 2. using a pressurized filter does the machine-generated pressure changes to a greater pressure cos it near to increase the pressure in order to squeeze the coffee out of the lesser no of holes under the bottom of the filter.

[@HoonsCoffee]

Please check out my other videos. I have over 100 videos regarding Barista Express.

[@Mickimoss]

I have the same question, because I have an espresso machine that to me seems calibrated for double shot 58mm with 20g of coffee. Everytime I change anything, using less gram of coffee, or using single basket, the pressure will go down to 3-5 bar, every damn time and the water can reach 90-100 gram in 25s. I prefer making single shot and make another fresh one if I still want more for the day, because I hate coffee+milk that's being left too long, even in the fridge. But since the machine can't seem to produce 30ml/g shot using standard single shot basket, I'm thinking about getting a PRESSURIZED one to cheat the pressure.

[@white_wild_roses6750]

Would it be possible for you to explain how to unclog the pressurized baskets? i use the exact same machine as you. I recently bought a new kind of coffee and it completely clogged my 2-dose pressurized basket and i can't even try to poke throught the holes with the tool because of the 2 layers in the basket. I have also tried using fire as some have suggested online but that also has not helped. Thank you!

[@SmallSpoonBrigade]

Any ultrasonic cleaner should help with that. I got a cheap one from harbor freight and simple green cleaner. It takes a bit to unclog, but it does help. Trying to poke is asking for trouble. It also gets coffee stains off the basket.

Hey all.Please please help. Recently bought this machine. Whats the difference between 1 & double. I just thought it was the amount of coffee. All I want in the morning, is a strong coffee in a large reusable cup. Do I need to do 2 shots or am I missing something?

[@HoonsCoffee]

Please check out this video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/f6S9lpt6o9-ch80. Hopefully this helps.

[@gracell4599]

I guess the double shots (around 60 ml) is what you are looking for. This video is talking about double-wall basket it’s not about the amount of coffee 🙂

[@baumstamp5989]

i would like to know what is the time advantage of using pressurized, i didn't understand why it takes longer to use double .

[@HoonsCoffee]

For pressurized, grind size is not important as non pressurized so less time to adjusting it. If you the time to mess with it you can get a pretty good result with Barista Express.

@@HoonsCoffee ah now i understand, thank you!

[@ConAim]

Lol, @5:20 What version of coffee bean are you using?

[@HoonsCoffee]

Thank you for watching. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00LSSAH9W/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 This is African - Ethiopian Yirgacheffe beans from Amazon. Please check out the my roasting videos. Really easy and save some money roasting at home.

Is not the coffe is the machine 15 or 19 pum bar is the much better

Hi Hoon, can i use single wall filter then use 2 cups?

[@HoonsCoffee]

You mean single basket? You could but it is going to be weak sour espresso

리뷰 잘봤습니당!! 저는 논프레셔 바스켓으로 하면 압력게이지가 안올라가고 수도꼭지 틀어논거마냥 쭉쭉 빠지네요 ㅋㅋ 원두를 더 잘게 갈고 양을 늘려봤는데 쪼금만 올려가고 역시 주르륵~~ 원두가 구려서 그런걸까요???

Hi Hoon, I have the same machine and i can’t develop pressure with the single wall filters, no matter what I do, beans, grinding settings, tamping pressure. i have even changed the settings in the top grinder from 6 to 4 and no pressure whatsoever. Any recommendation? Best.

[@HoonsCoffee]

What kind of beans are you using it now. Sounds like to it is the "coffee bean".

[@magdavallarino110]

Where do I get the single wall basket?

[@HoonsCoffee]

Just get it from Breville website. They are much cheaper than Amazon.

[@donnyl543]

You say I should do a test every morning if using non pressurized basket? I just can't afford to "waste" coffee beans dialing in the correct settings. I guess I will stay with the pressurized basket if the testing is required to get a good espresso

[@tezzanewton]

Very helpful, thanks mate.

[@armandguce]

Loved it! Keep the good stuff going on!

[@hadisoenarwan4549]

Would u consider increase the grindsize for pressurised basket....

[@HoonsCoffee]

Thank you for the input! I'll try next time!

[@HoonsCoffee]

I increased to 7 this morning and shot was looking much better.

[@hadisoenarwan4549]

@@HoonsCoffee how's the taste compare non pressurised then? Is it with the dialed grind size they both taste the same?

[@HoonsCoffee]

@@hadisoenarwan4549 Non pressurized is much better. With pressurized I set around 7 as grind size With.

The kid Scooby Doo’in it in his underoos was definitely the hilarity my morning needed.

[@HoonsCoffee]

you found him. I didn't even know until weeks later one of my viewer mentioned to me my son was in the video. Some how I missed during the editing process.

[@franpi]

Thanks for the video! I have a quick question on an issue that I haven't been able to resolve. After grinding my beans and tamping the coffee into the non-pressurized one cup filter, the grind seems to slide around in the basket, even if it's compressed. This leads to channeling on the edges during extraction (severely under-extracted). This kind of 'slip-n-slide' of the grinds was not happening in the pressurized basket. Only thing I can imagine is that the non-pressurized basket has a much more extreme slope than even the pressurized version which is already steep. Does this only happen to me?! I've tried changing grind size and making sure the tamping is level, but no luck. :/ I'm thinking the solution is to just wait for the non-pressurized 2-cup basket to be available from Breville, but would appreciate any advice if you have it. Thanks!

[@HoonsCoffee]

Frank, I have the same issues with single non-pressurized basket as well. Don't you have dobule basket?

[@franpi]

@@HoonsCoffee Thank you for the quick response. :) Unfortunately not. I have the Bambino, not the Barista Express. The Bambino only comes with the pressurized baskets. I ordered the non-pressurized one cup from Breville's site, because the 2 cup was out of stock, but it looks like it's not even worth it. Will have to wait to order the 2 cup when it comes available. Really disappointed that Breville would sell something like that. It's practically unusable. :/

[@HoonsCoffee]

@@franpi I know. You can get it from Amazon but you have to pay $42.5. That outrageous!

[@franpi]

@@HoonsCoffee Yeah, that's crazy. I guess I'll just wait....thanks for the replies. Stay safe!

[@ShervinLeMan]

Hello Frank, I had the same issue and like other baristas have eventually found the combined distributer & tamper to be my go to more and more; the combination distributer & tamper you can find on Amazon, what it has is an edge all around that keeps it a "centered line of draw"...keeping it, the tamper, from getting sideways; it is also adjustable I found out later so it gives you the leeway of depth to play with....try it , it is giving me great single shots. here is the link: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07ZT42HZF/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
