Pulling the Perfect Espresso Shot with Mr Coffee ECMP50 Espresso Machine

[@smilefishyish]

Thank you so much!! Trying to figure out how to make a good shot with this machine

[@rlwalker2]

I'll try some of that Starbucks next time. Still looking for a great cup.

Great video thanks

i want to learn how to do iced white coffee

[@lindayang9415]

so when it turns black and gets bitter is it bad? should I toss it and make new shot? or can I mix it with milk or cream and the bitterness will go lightly away?

[@savorwithdmurph1113]

That's all depends on your taste. Try it after it turns and see what you think. It's not awful but you can tell a difference. Sometimes cream and sugar can mask it.

[@Tiffylovesjoshua09]

How much water did you put in ???

[@savorwithdmurph1113]

I usually fill the reservoir 1/4 to 1/2 full. You want more than the minimum especially if you’re making multiple shots.

[@Jcmarino12]

I never get crema with mine even using Starbucks. What am I doing wrong? Never timed my shot.

[@savorwithdmurph1113]

Time your shot and you may need a finer grind. if it goes to fast/has thick grinds you won't get creme.

Starbucks? Come on

[@savorwithdmurph1113]

Interestingly, they grind their espresso perfectly for this machine. What kind do you use?

[@damonm3]

That is very important. I was going to mention that. I prefer a lot of different beans. I recommend trying a bunch. The best way is to just get a little of each and use the pro grinders at the store. Whole Foods, Luckys, sprouts. I really like light and medium roasts from Africa, Central America.. the machines have a dial and I find that somewhere near the middle of espresso is about the right fineness... again, it’s probably the most important aspect of the process. I’d look at and feel the Starbucks grounds and try to match it with the in store machines. If it’s too fine water can’t go through and too coarse and it’s crap. A little experimenting and you’ll have it down in a few tries. I hope you find a few different varieties that you really like and don’t hesitate to try others. So many good beans out there. 🍻

[@damonm3]

Is just get enough for 3-4 espressos (a few oz) of a few kinds. Hope you find some great coffee!

@@savorwithdmurph1113 are you using single or double wall basket? I have that setup and know you can buy a single but it comes with double walled.

[@jpdejure4111]

Get a Bir grinder find the best grind that works each time for the machine that you're using

[@LoriSchrader-l9q]

Starbucks uses poor quality beans.
