Thank you Gaile for taking the time to make this video. It helps to reinforce everything that is already mentioned in the booklet included with the machine. I would like to mention that there is nothing wrong with the pressure gage and it probably does not have bar numbers because there isn't a number that is applicable to all coffees. The quantities of time . weight and pressure mentioned in the manual are good starting points and nothing else. The great thing about these espresso machines is that they are designed for your personal use and your personal taste, which may be different than the one a "professional" barista may have. Now let's all go and enjoy our coffees , whatever numbers we use.

It wasn't actually 'too fine'. It was 35 seconds, but that's *_with_* pre-infusion, which you shouldn't count for the shot time. So easily within 20-30 seconds for the pull. And pressure was high, but not out of the 'espresso range' on the dial. I think that might have been a better shot than the shot that was supposed to be the 'good one'. Because that one was 24 seconds *_with_* pre-infusion. So counting the actual timing of the shot, that was borderline too fast.

Among all the instructional videos, this one is really really good. I have seen a lot of them today while researching and NO ONE says anything about the amount of time that passes from hooking up the basket and pressing the brewing button. For the best results, PLEASE press it immediately. You always have a few seconds time to place the cup beneath before it starts pouring. The machine is hot and coffee in the basket is frying up until you press the extraction button and it releases water. That makes it sour as well. For me, that is a telltale sign if a barista is any good whenever I am in a coffee shop.

I have one of these and have been using it every day for about 6 months. This video really helped us to figure out how to properly use the Barista Express. One tip we have learned since frequent and regular use is to keep a bowl under the grind outlet as you grind the coffee so that you don't waste the grinds. We have found that if you just use a spoon to scoop it back into the filter basket and pack it with the rest of your grind it works just the same. This should be done as you test your espresso and adjust the grind amount and grind size, otherwise the extra grinds could change your pressure reading and affect the quality of your espresso. I hope this tip helps everyone to reduce their grind waste.

Thanks, Gail. I've already discovered most of these through trial and error. You really do get through a lot of coffee with these machines, but unless you go B2C they're all the same. One useful tip: the lights flash at around once per 0.9 sec. It'd be lovely if they flashed at exactly one second but hey, it's close enough (if government work is making coffee). All you have to remember is that 30 blinks = 27 sec which is a good ballpark figure, so you can forget the timer. In any case it's so fiddly to watch the brew scale and the timer at once that half the time I turn off the scales instead of the timer and let the shot run on. Another thing I've found is that what you learn dialling in a real espresso machine helps a lot with the settings on a B2C machine. I run a Delonghi Magnifica as well as the Barista Express - it's handier for breakfast/quick shots - and since I got the Breville the coffee I get out of the Delonghi has improved immensely. B2C's stop you thinking.

This. Also if you weigh the beans each time rather than filling the hopper, you can save fiddling with the dosing dial and keep the coffee fresher. Start with ~18g and adjust grind and amount as needed. I got a $10 micro scale on amazon and it serves well every morning for this.

I see it’s for sale for 488.00 for bed bath and beyond...we have a bunch of wedding gift cards we would like to get something nice...it’s not Black Friday yet but is that the sale price already?
