@@eduardoesteban850 awesome! Glad this worked! It tastes so much better!

@@Brianwearsglasses breville

@@louisv7795 yes it does affect taste. You just need to stop it a little earlier, that’s all.

@@craftcoffeespot Thank you very much. Just another thing to remember to do when starting off!

@ you’ll figure it out! It’s trial and error to see what you like. You can dose manually and the. reprogram the shot volume once you figure out what works.

@@louisv7795 it allows the pressure to release at the end of the brew. So, when you finish brewing on Bambino Plus, it stops instantly, and solenoid valve allows water to release into drip tray. On Bambino, it keeps dripping after the shot as pressure can only release through basket. This means Bambino can be more easily damaged if you accidentally grind coffee too fine and clog basket. However, I have been using both for years and have no issues on Bambino, despite clogging it many times. So, I really think it’s less relevant.

@@XPrincess30 we have a whole article about this! craftcoffeespot.com/nespresso/nespresso-breville-vs-delonghi/

@@domesdomes2231 first, are you using a WDT? That’ll help a lot. Also, grind finer. Keeping going finer until it clogs. Then go back a step. Also, full up the basket a little more - 18-19g. I suspect the Baratza Encore doesn’t have enough nuance on settings so you’re stuck between too coarse (spray) and too fine (clog). WDT and Dose manipulation - using less coffee on finer setting, or more coffee on coarser setting - can tip it. Also, some beans tend to spray. I find lighter roasts (which includes many “craft” roasters) almost always spray because light roasts have more moisture and water runs through rather than absorb in the puck. Last, spray doesn’t mean bad. I get spraying, but the espresso still tastes great!

Here’s my equipment list, with WDT: amzn.to/3qfDdGc

@@andythiel9777 correct. Narrow margin in quality favoring Gaggia. Wide margin in convenience favoring Bambino. Hence, I usually recommend Bambino for most. So much easier and most people won’t notice the difference.

@@craftcoffeespot Thanks again for explaining it in more detail. Non-evo-GCP is a lot cheaper here in S. Korea due to a huge sale (GCP $300 vs Bambino plus $400) but now I have more reasons to consider Bambino plus even more!

They both come with the same pressurized baskets. No difference on taste there.

Yea, the Bambino is easier to purge because it's a manual wand. The Bambino Plus you can do it with an empty milk jug underneath on the sensor. Not a big deal, imo.

The *baskets* are defintely the same. The *portafilters* are different, where the Bambino is lighter and cheaper, but the portafilter handle you hold doesn't affect the taste. Some people don't like the flimsy Bambino portafilter (agree), but I bought a different one on Amazon for $30. You can find it on my Amazon store: www.amazon.com/shop/craftcoffeespot

I use the Bambino regularly, and never have issues. Just run water out the brew head after each espresso and do regular descaling (the machine tells you when to descale).

@@savanahtiscareno1149 reach out to Breville. If you just bought, they will reply and it’s under warranty.

@@AshSha248 there really isn’t a benefit to preset recipes. Cappuccino just means denser foam and less milk overall. Just tinker with the “froth” level to the texture that you like. You’ll notice a difference.

@@craftcoffeespotThank you! I’m actually considering the Bambino Plus now. I really only drink lattes and your video help me see I’m spending more money on the Touch for features that may not matter. I went from the Touch, to the Impress Touch, back to the Touch and now the Bambino Plus. I’ll probably change my mind again tomorrow. 😭🤦🏾‍♀️😂 I’m a newbie and not a coffee snob, but want to make a wise decision.

@@AshSha248 its a hard decision! I use the Aeroccino for milk frothing and really enjoy it. We reviewed it here: ruclips.net/video/ydKUYmbprl4/видео.htmlsi=GJIcEKcGWQHohsxb I do think it depends on budget too. If you really want something easy and can afford it, the touch Impress is really good. If you are willing to work, Bambino + Aeroccino 4 is great. But you’ll need a grinder too fyi.

@@drox69 grind finer, first off. Then, turn valve to right to tighten, but it starts tight enough all the way.

@@Phrancis5 I’d recommend buying a new portafilter and basket. There are a lot on amazon and are pretty cheap. Make sure it’s for the ECP 3420, which definitely exist.

@@hyruleworrier3021 great find!

Good feedback and perspective. Thanks for sharing.

They produce the same espresso, so no more experience. To get a bottomless portafilter to look good, it doesn't take much experience. More about tinkering and a WDT tool will help a lot.

Thank you!

Middle one of hot settings.

We updated our chart for the "Impress" models: craftcoffeespot.com/espresso/best-breville-espresso-machine/ The Jet is brand new, and I'd put it right between Touch Impress and Dual Boiler. Frankly, if you are consider Dual Boiler or Breville ORacle, just get the Jet. We also reviewed the Jet here: craftcoffeespot.com/espresso/breville-oracle-jet-review/

@@craftcoffeespot heads up regarding a typo in the oracle jet review: "heating system inside the machine and in the *gorup* head". Interesting review.

@@Masterrunescapeer noted!

Several: 1) pre-set volume button on Bambino, so you get the same amount of water per shot. 2) pre-infusion on Bambino, this saturate coffee before full pressure and makes shots more consistent, and 3) heating/PID on Bambino, which regulates temperature more. Gaggia gets to boiling temp if you leave it on too long, and too cold if you don't wait, so need to eyeball right temp, and 4) design: the Gaggia has very little space between spout and cup, which makes it annoying to use. Pro for Gaggia is bigger portafilter and heating system is great if you learn it well. If you get everything right (manual button press, and perfect grind) it will taste better.

To say it again, everything on gaggia is manual, including temperature and shot time. Bambino is pre-set volume and heat, so press a button and it works the same every time.

@@craftcoffeespot So you can actually set the temperature of your espresso shot on the Bambino?.....

@@paul-erikhansen5769 There is a sensor (called PID) that regulates the temperature. Meanwhile, Gaggia is a boiler. So it just gets hotter as you leave it on. After you purge water, it refills and gets cooler. The Bambino is way more consistent on temperature. I discuss this in the video - please watch the espresso section.

@@smakusdod confirmed not allergic.

@@CoffeeTeaEspressoAppliance thanks for the feedback!

@@hyruleworrier3021 I know coffee roasts differently at higher elevations (roasts faster) but never heard anything with espresso. Let me know - curious.

Agree. A light shake of the portafilter usually settles the pile enough to remove. But, 95% of viewers will not need to worry about any of this. It's a solid machine, where the lower pressure and, I think, an improved burr alignment make WDT/distribution less important.

$800 for a Touch is cheap. I bet they chose timing over volume, because timing is easier to understand and program on a touch screen. They switched it back to volume on the newer Touch Impress.

Also, appreciate the feedback!

@@craftcoffeespot Thanks for your response! I saw your comment about the Touch Impress version under this video. What would you go with between the Barista Touch Impress and the Delonghi Dinamica Plus? I don't mind the learning curve with the assisted tamping but my wife may prefer the convenience of the Delonghi. Appreciate your expertise! I'll be sure to use your link.

@@carlosmartindelcampo1365 Touch Impress for sure. My wife didn’t like tamping, but she got the hang of an Impress quickly. The coffee and lattes will taste way better than a super automatic like DeLonghi Dinamica. Last, the Dinamica Plus milk container is annoying to clean, so you’ll like the Touch wand more (and easier control) if you’re into lattes. If you’re interested, here’s the link to Touch Impress: amzn.to/4eGmXSS (this affiliate link supports us, so I appreciate it).

@@KatieBates-SignatureHomes all of them have a stainless steel steam wand. Barista Pro, Bambino, and Touch have a more powerful wand. Touch has automatic frothing and cleaning and recommend that model if you like steaming milk - it’s discussed in the video.

where can i read up on this ?

I think the Vertuo pods taste better than Nespresso original. While other roasters make OL pods, they tend to be mainstream brands like Starbucks...haven't found any specialty roasters I'd recommend there.

That would be a question for my director. I used a local studio to shoot and used all of his equipment, so I don't know the brand. I know it was a premium mic and he also cleaned up audio gaps in post-production. He is fantastic and all credit goes to him for the excellent audio.

Never heard of that issue. I would say you're either not grinding that fine (<20 second pull) or ask DeLonghi because you may be able to get them to cover the issue!

lol

@@abhilashvithlani you’re welcome! Appreciate the compliment.
