Good one! 👍🙏

Thank you. 🙏🏻

[@annw-fitz4412]

Thank you! I would recommend to people to watch videos more than once. Come back to a video and maybe you’ll pick up some thing you missed the first time. I did with this video.

[@jasminethornburg2101]

I don’t even like coffee because it’s bitter but my mom got an expression machine and it fascinates me so I’m doing my research hehe. Maybe I’ll like coffee now

[@ArtistiCoffeeRoasters]

That’s how it starts, from a distance then you get hooked 😂

[@jasminethornburg2101]

@@ArtistiCoffeeRoasters drank my first full cup of coffee in my life the other day! It was so much less bitter! Seems like the machine and my family dialing it in helps!

[@krissk77]

Add milk to start.... or sugar then reduce and remove as your palate get used to the taste. Get East African beans ..... Kenya or Ethiopia

[@silverbridge19]

Hello,,, regarding the final shot, was it 8 sec pre-infusion+ 20 sec brewing time, or was it a total of 20 sec? Thank you.

[@KellyanneGill]

I find weighing the beans for each shot, works well, and I also grind b4 grinding for my shot to make sure there's no coffee from the last shot

[@ArtistiCoffeeRoasters]

Yes that’s the first 2 main tips to great tasting coffee

[@KellyanneGill]

@@ArtistiCoffeeRoasters And after each dose, I'm 0.1-0.5grams either way of my 19gram recipe

[@sjazzp]

Great tips but one you always emphasise is the recipe. Once it’s nailed, coffee tastes the best, especially if you are using Champion blend 😊 But let me tell you that I applied same recipe to Placebo for that after dinner coffee and results were so good as well.

[@ArtistiCoffeeRoasters]

Yes, the recipe is certainly important and will vary depending on many aspects. Glad to hear that it's worked out for you with our Placebo blend :) How long have you been drinking our Placebo ?

[@sjazzp]

@@ArtistiCoffeeRoasters Not that long ago, since February. Soon I will order more and will try The Fix

[@FredTS]

I love your coffees and your videos. Just a question? Are all your beans specialty graded or just the single origins?

[@ArtistiCoffeeRoasters]

Thank you, All our beans are Specality grade, the singles are a higher grade, only Arabica

[@FredTS]

@@ArtistiCoffeeRoasters Thank you for getting back to my question. I reckon you guys should do a video about specialty grade beans and non-specialty grade.

[@mayuravirus6134]

I'm having troubles of not having an Espresso machine to start with

[@ArtistiCoffeeRoasters]

Hopefully you manage to change that sometime soon! :)

[@sohailhines]

Haha, yes that's likely quite problematic :)

[@krissk77]

Get a cheap one online or pre-owned

[@nuovosalario]

Is backflushing with detergent and cleaning portafilter and baskets with Pulicaff once a week enough? Or should I actually unscrew the group head regularly?

[@ArtistiCoffeeRoasters]

Unscrew it each time you clean it, it will never get dirty and then effect the coffee

[@addysaw]

Bitter coffee is literally the whole point! Love that stuff

[@ArtistiCoffeeRoasters]

👍🏻

[@joelaceves2601]

I like it bitter

[@ArtistiCoffeeRoasters]

Sure! There are many types of coffee for us all

[@Presso99]

may i know why the brew time is 20 seconds? Typically should be from 25 to 30 seconds, please correct me if I am wrong.

[@ArtistiCoffeeRoasters]

20 seconds is for a 1-1 extraction. 2-1 is 30 seconds

[@Presso99]

@@ArtistiCoffeeRoasters I got it. Thanks

[@incant85]

What machine is this?

[@wutikai1265]

[@ArtistiCoffeeRoasters]

Spot on!! Very nice, I have some mods and n the way for it, stay tinned

[@laiminhthongfriends8503]

My espresso is usually bitter and sour?

[@ArtistiCoffeeRoasters]

On no, change beans and follow out tips

[@TrueNorthDronography]

I realize this is typical for coffee shop espresso prep (compared to at home) but I honestly can't help but cringe at the puck prep and shot pulling...no weighing to properly dose, no wdt used, no pre-infusion.... *shudder*

[@sohailhines]

Yeah I liked the content overall but was surprised so see no measurement of the output yield. Brewing only by time is not typically a valid approach because it's all about the flow rate and the input/output ratiod need to be respected more.

[@peterpiper487]

This is WAY too mjch trouble to get a cup of coffee. I suggest pour-over coffee where all the items used are ALREADY clean.

[@ITWorksSoftware]

Sour/salty = under-extracted. Bitterness = over-extracted

[@jankubat2694]

NO NO NO NO NO NO NO THE FIRST THING YOU FIX IS YOUR WATER! You may find yourself in the endless chase of beans, grinds, temperatures and recipes, only to find out you coffee is bitter because your water is too hard.

[@ArtistiCoffeeRoasters]

Water the main component to a coffee, all the geeks in the industry and up taking about it at the bbq’s! 😂 but not everyone can understand it and is willing to address the issues

[@jankubat2694]

@@ArtistiCoffeeRoasters It fixed the problem for me. I was trying everything, changing beans, roasts, grinds, prep, doses, ratios, temperatures, brew times, with the same result - Bitter coffee. Until I eventually tried brewing with different water, et voilá, that was the problem all along. Without being a geek about it, that should be the first thing you change, before trying anything else. As bottled water (like a water for toddlers is a good bet) is much cheaper than new unimodal flat burr grinder.

Dont drink coffee

this video audio is terrible and needs redoing
