Sage Dual Boiler | 9 Bar hack REVISIT

[@hmetkaya04]

Finally after owning this device for weeks, I was able to get a perfect cup of coffee thanks to your video. Loved the wrong zoomed in take, got 1 detail which made the difference for me. Keep it up man 💪

Hey man, great video. I've been watching your videos about the dual boiler for a while now and I really like them. Ive got one here myself as well and I had a lot of hesitation when It came to opening it up and voiding the warranty. I just wanted to say that if I could give you one piece of advice is just go for it.. .adjusting the OPV to 9bars its extremely easy and once you've done that, you have so much freedom to play around with pre infusion time and pressure before even getting to 9bar full pump pressure... It will open a whole new world for you!! I know voiding the warranty is not ideal but the reality is that if you take good care of your machine, chances are your machine will live way past the warranty period anyway with no issues. regards from Australia.

Yes that’s true. I have thought a few times about it and have watched the videos on how to do it. I’ve probably only got 6 months on the 24 month warranty anyway.

What a great video, i got an amazing shot but i was wondering why my extraction starts at 9 bars but within 7-10 seconds it declines to 7 bars? Is it that i need to grind finer? What I'm trying to achieve is 3 bar infusion for 12 seconds and i do that by after pressing the manual button, i open the water valve very carefully so i wouldn't stop the extraction and then close it after infusion to hit 9 bar.

@@SlimShady044Gaming thanks. That will be the puck degrading as the shot progresses. So set pre infusion to 12 secs. Do you have the slayer mod?

[@SlimShady044Gaming]

@@SteveHowkins no I'm using the hot water valve trick to release pressure,

Great video Steve!

love these videos

Thank you

How come you had to go finer at PP 77 in order to match the shot time at PP87? PP 77 has less pressure, right? slower flow rate? am i missing something? Sorry to bother

[@SteveHowkins]

Not bothering at all. So the pressure changes but I don’t think the flow rate does. That is dependant on the grind. So at 77 in order to get a 9 bar shot I had to grind finer than at 87 as the machine was doing the work there. If you want 6/7 bar shots then yes use a lower pp and grind the same. All trial and error really. Puck prep and the coffee used make a difference.
