How To Backflush An Espresso Machine (With A Breville Barista Pro)
Is a pressurised basket best for small amounts of ground coffee?
Nice video! May I just ask How are temp/pressure consistencies of express impress compare to pro? Could it produce consistent result as per pro ?
How about the nespresso aquila 220?
@@Damnskkska that’s a very high end machine.
@@craftcoffeespot i know, i'm opening a coffee shop and i'm thinking to go for the aquila machine instead of an expresso machine and i'm not sure if is a great idea 🙈
Buy a Bambino (Plus) and get yourself a nice grinder, the Breville grinders are trash.
@@mohgujai I test that on this video: ruclips.net/video/8PdlSD9zMXM/видео.htmlsi=uHUfNKfxrHtdHLLi Personally, I use a Bambino regular and DF64 - killer combo for cheap.
Excellent video and well presented, my concern is the cappuccino that you got from the video was like espresso not enough quantity.😮
Thanks for Excellent video with great details. Just side question if Impress grinder capable grind coarse level for pour over? If yes after Grind is there possibility to move powder in less messy way ?😅
@@celinaprince9510 I wouldn’t use the grinder for pour over. We’ve reviewed better options here: craftcoffeespot.com/grinder/best-coffee-grinder-for-pour-over-coffee/
I’m sticking to the original nespresso machines the pods are much cheaper
Probably the best reason for the original
I have both machines. I hate the bitter, frothy “crema” from the Vertuo.
Bro talks like he's skiing
@@stanleyclarke1264 I do ski.
Mine won’t close
@@1papester reach out to Nespresso. Give them the serial number and they’ll help.
@@craftcoffeespot thank you. I’ll try that
What you didnt do was lift the weight off the scale and put it back down several times. I have the apexstone and it sucks beyond belief. If you tare out a container then move it or pick it up for any reason and put it back down it shows a different wieght. Which makes it useless.
I tried it many times off camera and it’s consistent.
@@craftcoffeespot I can put something on and off the scale and the measurements stays the same. But if I put one of my containers on the scale and tare it then add beans and dump the beans in the grinder and put the container back it does not go to zero as it should. So far Im using a 7 dollar jewelers scales I got on ebay and it works flawlessly. Its more precise too.
Super helpful video! Clear, concise, well thought out. Thank you!
Thank you very much for your kind effort. I have 3 holes steaming nozzle, I could not make the milk gets velvety snd foamy, I tried tens of times but unfortunately no use🤕 when I pour the milk after steaming to my espresso it goes down and not floating. I decided finally to change the 3 holes nozzle to one hole nozzle, hopefully it works. Best regards
Great video! Keep up the good work!
Great video, It helped me decide!
maybe a silly question, but I've combed your videos about this machine and can't find the answer either there or online--how many holes does the steam wand for this machine have?
Four. It’s a good steam wand, mostly because the Thermojet is more powerful.
You probably could shorten the pressure valve internal spring or replace the spring with a shorter one instead of unscrewing the pressure valve. Sincerely Robert
Good recommendation - there is another link in the comments for the proper 9-bar spring.
This was Very Helpful in making my decision!!
WELL DONE👏
It's very hard to find a good & simple coffee machine review that's not obnoxious or annoying. Bravo!
Thank you!
I have no clue what to do. I grind finer and finer and the coffee flows like crazy (14-15) seconds. I tamp as hard as I can😢. Any help appreciated.
Did you change your inner burr? That could be the issue. Walk through here: ruclips.net/video/A7_6QX4GD6E/видео.htmlsi=h3LlEd_2y2BI7jv8
@@craftcoffeespot Thanks for hinting this!
The pod availability especially by cheaper third party brands make the original a clear win for me
You can change the inner burr on the grinder, so in reality you have many more settings, seems like just a game of numbers. You can also do a longer pre-infusion on the Express/Express impress, you don't mention this in any of your videos when you compare the Express machines with pro!
Fair point on pre-infusion. Probably right on grind sizes too. Over time, I think the OPV change on pressure is the biggest difference between Express Impress, Pro, and Express. The thermojet makes a difference. I spoke to a Breville engineer who was saying their upcoming dual ThermoJet is more temp stable than the Dual Boiler! Anyway, the logic has changed some since filming, but pressure and heating system are very important and very different. I recommend the Express Impress mostly, because self-tamping is just so easy. I also like the Pro if you don’t mind the work and want to steam milk. And budget option is Breville Bambino + DF64 --> that’s what I use now.
Lololol I just bought the gevi after owning the express it’s such a cheap crappy machine.
I think you are contradicting yourself in this video. You say "stir once and only once", but you've actually stirred the coffee TWO times: once when you first added a small amount of water, and then again when you added the remaining water. When you finished adding the water, you actually stirred the coffee more than once to my eye (more than one circle of the spoon in the press).
You got me - I do stir twice. There was an extra stir at the bloom stage, but that's really to make sure all the coffee is saturated. It's less about the "true stir" that you do when all the water is in, which is more meant to increase extraction once. What is most important is to avoid over stirring later in the brew, because it causes too much sediment to get into your cup
Mine still won’t open😭
Reach out to Nespresso - may be under warranty.
@@craftcoffeespot naw I got it now thanks tho
why is my coffee coming out first then milk?
Not sure. Doesn't natter though.
I like the "less mess" of the Impress model during tamping. I just received my unit today and the pressure gauge needle does not move during brewing. Any ideas?
Grind finer! It's flowing too quickly, so no pressure is building.
So I have been manually pulling my shot on my breville express. I hold it down for pre infusion 8-10 seconds at 10 seconds I release the button and let it shoot up to 9 bars of pressure but by the time I get 36 grams of coffee I’m now only 18-20 seconds in. Is there a way I can slow down the extraction down even with 9 bars. if I grind finer it will over extract and the pressure will go to high. Any help will be appreciated. Should I let the pre infusion go even longer like 12 Seconds ? Thank you.
I would grind finer. Brevilles run over 9 bars. Also, don't get too hung up on time. It sounds like it tastes good. Some beans can go 20 seconds, others 40. If you want an advanced trick, try modifying the OPV inside the Breville. We have that on another video here: ruclips.net/video/A4xpuETJnzY/видео.html
At 4:28 min you have grind size 11 … At 4:21 min you have gs. 12 At 5:40 you have gs. 10 ?????
We did several cuts to get it right and I believe the final setting was 11. However, it depends on your beans!! Tweak your grind setting unit it takes roughly 30 seconds to finish a shot that is a 1:2 ratio of coffee:espresso. This is where you should get a scale as well.
Videos like this are very important. Thank you for putting this out there.
You're welcome. Thank you for the feedback!
Great video, I’m debating on what to get and I think I’ll just get the porta filter, wdt, and scale. Thanks for saving me money!
You're welcome! Please use the links in the description to find the product, as it really supports the channel.
Yes no frills succinct review - i have outgrown my Bambino plus and looking at Gaggia Evo with 9bar, PUD and dimmer modification installed into a new machine ...
Let me know how the mod is - thinking about more mods myself for a GCP.
We recently stayed at two Hyatt hotels that had a Nespresso machine in the room. Now we're hooked on Nespresso. We've already ordered a Plus to replace our Keurig at home.
Thanks for video. Manual says dont use espresso beans because it can damage the grinder. But how can it then make espresso?
Any coffee beans can make espresso, espresso is about how you make a coffee as a concentrated quantity, not the beans. “Espresso beans” really means “very dark roast”. You should avoid really dark roasted beans, because they are oily and the oil clogs the grinder. That’s the problem. I think you’ll find medium roast tastes better and less bitter/burnt. Also, if you’re buying specialty beans (like stumptown, intelligentsia, or counter culture), expect they’ll all be good even their “espresso roast.” Tl;dr don’t use cheap, oily coffee beans!!
I'm ready to go back to my Keurig machine; these pods are ridiculously expensive which I did not know when I bought my machine...
What did you say at 0:52? Why to use within a week?
They lose freshness faster than regular pods. Can’t reseal it as strongly as original.
11:16 dialed in for unicorn blood by dark matter (10 grind, 2:1)
Do you know if the steam pump can be changed out from the berville barista express to the Breville barista touch??? I have used the Breville touch abd the steamer is much stronger than the express, if it can you should do a video on that I'm sure everyone will love it! Thanks fkr this one ill have to give it a go!
It cannot. The steamer is driven by the heating system and they are very different on the two models - thermojet vs thermocoil. Different sizes and everything.
Is possible increase the quality os the streamer in breville express pro (machine selling in Brazil) a or make a mod? With I make the mod dimmer, I need change this opv? Or the dimmer will fix the bar? @@craftcoffeespot

Very good video! I wish I had watched your video before buying though. Well... at least I can watch now and be extra happy with my Touch XD.
My dedica arte came with milk jag, all the pressurized baskets, a metal tamper, a descaler and a scoop. Pretty good deal for 210 euros. If bambino was a bit cheaper I'd probably buy it instead. The prices here are 210 for the arte and 280-350 for the bambino (usual price is 350)
That’s expensive for the Bambino! Usually it’s $300 US
@@craftcoffeespot probably difference between euro and usd
This was really helpful and informative. Thank you for sharing!
Really great video
I don’t know what’s wrong with mine. It doesn’t even fill up a medium cup . My settings are all the way up.
Make your grind size coarser. Also, remember all these sizes are relatively small. The largest is still 6-8 oz. For a big drink, you’re better off making a double espresso and adding hot water.
We’re all rooting for the cheap one.🤭
Just as a video maker, got to commend you on great audio!
Thanks! Audio is something we work on a lot.
You should only change your grind size while grinding, otherwise it won't adjust. That explains your inconsistent times
Thank you so much - I am not the espresso aficionado my husband is. I am a tightwad who will buy him an espresso machine for his birthday. This helps me compromise our values. 🙂
Tried all methods to fix the right pressure--- tamping, grind size, cleaning and descaling, tight locking ... but this only finally worked. Thanks
