How To Backflush An Espresso Machine (With A Breville Barista Pro)
Very informative and helpful! Well done. TY
The Pop+ has an option for a larger water tank. It also spins at 4000 times per minute, while the Next and Plus spin at 7000 times per minute. I read that at the Breville website.
@@julieb2898 I knew about the larger water tank (the Pop+ is in the video) but not the RPM difference. Seems similar, just temp is different. Interesting
Rubbish. You'll never get a head like they show. Milk ends up watery and froth gets left behind in the frother. The ONLY way to get a proper thick creamy texture is with a steam wand
@@normanmunns4743 ? So me and 95k other viewers are just lucky?
I cant change the standby time. If i hold the calc clean button when it's off, nothing comes up. Any suggestions?
Unfortunately, not sure. Try reaching out to Philips.
@craftcoffeespot thank you!
Shouldnt higher pressure = more extraction = fullness? Lol
I got through this on the video. It's counter intuitive, but too high of pressure forces the water through too fast. It also makes it really hard to dial in properly, especially with the built-in BBE grinder. Recommend watching this video for more info: ruclips.net/video/kordyFR2Q5Y/видео.html
This was incredibly helpful, thank you!
You're welcome!
I would never buy a Breville machine again...they have a repair and parts policy like John Deer. No independent coffee repair company will help with repairs either. I became so frustrated that I placed the machine on my garage floor and took a 5 lb. hammer to it. They are a ripoff company!!!
What went wrong? Couldn't you get it covered under warranty? Seems like there are people out there to repair these things. Not to mention YT repair videos.
Thank you so much! This was very helpful.
Great video. Thank you
Just did this mod and had a little sip of a taster shot as it’s night time! Was very impressed with the difference and glad I went to the bother. Thanks for the instructions!
Glad it helped!
is there a difference between the Gaggia classic pro and the 85th-anniversary version?
I don't think so. Just check if it was "9-bar of pressure" that would be an upgrade.
Brilliant - thank you
Exactly what i wanted to hear, I have barista express for almost 5 yrs now, makes great coffee but lately back to back shots look totally different and getting inconsistent. and not a big fan of the grinder. I will happily get the pro after your video. Thank you.
@@koreshgodi9993 happy to help!
if Bambino and Barista Express are the exact same price, which one would you prefer to choose as a long term investment?
@@alliebbb I would get separate devices. Allows you to upgrade the grinder over time. Also, the separate grinder can be used for drip coffee or French press.
@@craftcoffeespot Thank you for the reply! Does the Bambino need upgrades over time, or is it mostly just a grinder? How about milk steaming function compares to Barista express? Thanks a ton!
Very good! Do you think we should put the reusable in the washing machine to prevent mold
I think you should clean them out well before reuse, yes. I doubt they will go into the dishwasher though, given the small size and light weight.
@ you are the best, thanks!
Great no-BS review
Thanks! Very helpful. I have both and I was thinking that my 4 was maybe not as effective as my three but I have also never really used the final two buttons. Now I understand why. 😂
Can I ask a quick question? Does the 4 work when using the 3's base? I always get this question, but can't test it since I no longer own a A3! Would like to know if you can test and confirm/dent this. TIA!
great video and infortmation buddy. thanks a lot!
My barista express after a little over 3 years is starting to have problems. Breville is offering me 25% off a new machine, would you get another barista express or do the bambino plus and a grinder? Im undecided! 😬
@@joeylazio5989 bambino plus grinder, for sure. If you’re getting a combo machine, get a Pro, Touch, or Impress.
This worked so well! I finally don’t have channeling issues using a bottomless portafilter which was making a mess. I had tried everything (grind size, tamp, beans, filter, etc) but this is the only thing that has led to more consistent and tastier shots. Thank you!!
@@eduardoesteban850 awesome! Glad this worked! It tastes so much better!
What brand machine is the original in this video?
@@Brianwearsglasses breville
How do I know is pulling 9 bars?
Dude!! Thank you. I as well am non dairy and that was the tipping point to choosing the Bambino. Thanks so much! Great video.
Thank you , does that extra water going into the Bambino basket , does it get into your expresso and dilute it by chance? Thank you again!
@@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.
@@craftcoffeespot Thanks again, you've been a great help!! I probably need to go with the plus, but between that and the grinder I won't be able to afford it. So, It's going to be the espresso shops once a week or so.
Hello again Marco, what does the solenoid valve do on one machine that doesn't do on the other please?
@@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.
I use over 30 day roasted beans with a finer grind and seems to be going ok at the present in a breville impress with the dual wall basket.
Im so confused why does one say breville on the bottom?
@@XPrincess30 we have a whole article about this! craftcoffeespot.com/nespresso/nespresso-breville-vs-delonghi/
I have the bambino plus (purchased 6 months from amazon) with a Baratza Encore Grinder, scale and all the bells and whistles, equipment. I also have a crema 54 mm bottomless porta filter/basket. My issue is I keep getting coffee spitting out of the bottom of porta filter all over the back of the machine and countertop when brewing single and/or double shot expresso. I tried the original porta filter that came with the machine as well, different grind size, same results. Any recommendations?
@@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
5:39 9:44 Thank you for clearing up. Quality: Gaggia wins vs Convinience: Bambino wins
@@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!
Thank you, I also asked about the pressurized baskets if you look under my last question please.
They both come with the same pressurized baskets. No difference on taste there.
Also, can both of the steam wands be purged before use to get the water out of them first? I saw on one video it can be done, but they showed it only on one of them. (I didn't remember which one)
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.
Doesn't the Bambino come with an aluminum pressurized basket and the Plus with a stainless steel Basket that makes a better tasting espresso, along with the Plus other items with it? Thank you.
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 know the bambino lacks the ability to back flush compared to the bambino plus since it doesn’t have the 3 way solenoid . Would the pipes on the regular bambino get gunky with time since you can’t backflush it? Or is this not something to worry about?
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).
Great comparison, thanks for explaining
Great, thanks for taking the time to explain clearly the differences👍
How about some stupidity?
Amazing analysis. Thank u
My menu button does not prompt the menu when I touch it. I’m just setting mine up and it’s asking me to flush it. I’m stuck
@@savanahtiscareno1149 reach out to Breville. If you just bought, they will reply and it’s under warranty.
What’s the difference in the milk based drinks if it doesn’t guide you on how much milk to use? I personally know the difference between a traditional cappuccino and a latte, but it seems all the milk based recipes are essentially the same. Just wondering if there’s really a benefit to the preset recipes like I thought.
@@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.
I have a question, I been getting a low pressure,maybe around 4 to 5 bars. Where do I turn the valve to get more pressure (clockwise or counter-clockwise)? Thanks in advance.😊
@@Nodrahx grind finer, first off. Then, turn valve to right to tighten, but it starts tight enough all the way.
Great video! Quick question about my new Deloghi ECP4320... I might upgrade to a better grinder and bottomless portafilter, but also noticed the stock pressurized basket does have that removable screen in. Could I just remove the screen to drill out the tiny single pressure hole in the bottom of the basket to effectively turn it into a non-pressurized (mostly) bottomless portafilter for free. Would that work with finer grinds?
@@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.
I just got one at Home Goods for 450!
@@hyruleworrier3021 great find!
Grazie
I prefer the espresso machine, however got a nespresso machine. I get up early and have to leave the house very quickly most mornings for work. Nespresso is much quicker less messy! A good compromise to have instant coffee convenience but high quality coffee. I use an original Nespresso machine rather than virtuo. You can get off brand Nespresso pods very cheap and can get some great deals on pods, not so much on virtuo ones though!
Good feedback and perspective. Thanks for sharing.
How much experience making espresso at home does it take to use a bottomless portafilter?
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!
Not the same portafilter on the two. The plus comes with a stainless steel portafilter while the regular comes with an aluminum one.
the Bambino is way better. I bought a dedica arte and returned it for the bamino.
My machine is exactly the same butt, there's always a butt My Pressure gauge has no numbers, just has ticks and it rotates around 1/3 what ever that means. If the needle doesn't move, big problem, if the needle goes half way around even bigger problem.
Trying the double tap on my next pod I had no idea thank you!
