@fsalucard10 months agoAbsolutely loved seeing another espresso aficionado go through the beginning processes of this journey. Brought back memories. I been working on my own just a couple notes from a random youtube nobody - you can' t really diagnose a puck after the shot is pulled. Once the machine pulls out the water it obliterates the puck inside. The bottomless portafilter is the best way to diagnose a shot. A wet/soupy puck is also a non-issue. Those" dry" knock-out pucks are only for show, they don' t affect the shot itself. what are you using for wdt? Looks like a purchased product / needles, which is good, but size of the needles is important. You want between 0. 25-0. 4mm - if the needles are too big, you can actually do more damage with the wdt than help. That said, your last couple shots after the puck screen (which definitely helps) looked great - so channeling may no longer be an issue. you seem to be to the point of just dialing in each coffee. Every coffee will be different, and the 1: 2 ratio in 25-30 seconds is merely apoint - it is nota universally good recipe. Some darker roasts may prefer more 1: 1. 5 with faster times, and lighter roasts more 1: 3 or higher and longer shot times. This where the fun of experimenting comes in: you' ll definitely outgrow that grinder, but you' re in a good spot right now. Enjoy your espresso journey! Great video. ...Expand6

@OmnielCapote10 months agoGood job, way to stick with the process. If you stay that enthusiastic and you are enjoying the process, you will be putting perfect shots in no time, at least as perfect as the breville allows. 1

@piplup102038546 months agoWhen you said you were also an Aeropress person I felt seen lol this is gonna be me in the literal next few weeks. I am gonna buy my machine on Black Friday or cyber Monday and I move in like the day before so I will be starting to figure out that dial in process myself. Oh speaking of that I need to start buying fresh coffee beans because I only have pre-espesso ground coffee for the aero press and I definitely do not have a scale or anything like that ohh lanta what am I in for. I don't even know what I got right now but I will be using a 14g-18g portafilter basket but maybe I should just use the 18g portafilter basket like you're doing otherwise there is like no information out there. I literally put like one or two scoops into the aero press and then just fill hot water to the top stir it lightly and then press it and then use my moms Keurig for steamed milk so it's gonna be something but I would love to level up my morning coffee but it's gonna be a lot of bitter and sour coffee for a while lol .....Expand1

Ive avoided buying anything off amazon yet and relying solely on the standard kit. what is your advice after going through similar struggles?

@moraesg0010 months agoAs silly as it may sound, youd be better off investing on a separate espresso focused grinder. The built in breville grinder unfortunately isnt as pre another suggestion would be decreasing your coffee dose, make your grinding settings finer, increase the pre infusion and increase the ratio. Something around 1: 3 often controls the bitterness and acidity of the espresso! nice video, keep em coming:. ...Expand2
