How to Steam Milk with a Mediocre Espresso Machine
Thanks
Mirrors my experience exactly. Good review!
Have you noticed the pins bending very frequently as a home user?
🕺🏽🕺🏽🕺🏽B.D.B🕺🏽🕺🏽🕺🏽
I have tried it. Its great only if you make an espresso, not as a pour over
My friend uses a saying, while tasty the Juice wasn’t worth the squeeze. So in this case you talked me out of buying this tool. I have a $40 rotating WDT i got of amazon it made a huge difference in my shots, so i’ll just stick with that until all the pins get bent (no they’re not replaceable”
Good content but all the interjections with the memes was too much for me. Could have done without all of that
Honestly. I’d say infuser for the win at the end of the day. You can get a used infuser for like 100 bucks on offer up. I really want a dual boiler but I just don’t see the value of you already have an infuser. It’s just too expensive and you have to wait longer for it to heat up when you turn it on
I have tried a few Canadian suppliers: Virgin Hill and I Drink Coffee. Love it. So smooth with no acid backlash.
You're a legend, thanks for this video! Was skeptical about buying it but I feel confident now :D
Thank you. It's the only bean I use at home ... I am 'all in' on MM.
I've been drinking Monsoon Malabar for the past 20 years.
Weird coffee people like us Need a support group or something 😂😅 🤓🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
💸💸💸
SO TRUE! Hahaha!
Aeropress really pushing people to get the reusable filter
They're marketing a lot these days! Very different strategy from before - I just hope they don't "disown" the community they've built all these years.
Hey do you have a contact email I can reach out to you at? I wanted to share a potential sponsorship opportunity, but couldn't find an email address on your profile!
Hey there, I also have the dual boiler. Was wondering, do you know if the moonraker will fit the portafilter of the dual boiler ? I am quiet interested to get this product
It does! Fits any 58mm portafiler!
I have the same machine, but in black and like you got a lever on a whim. Then I had no idea how to replace it. Your video was so informative. Can't wait to give my morning coffee some flair. I just know it will taste better!
Haha, epic! That coffee WILL taste better 🤩
i saw your 3D printed portafilter funnel and i thought why you didnt 3D printed one, i made one and i prefer doing it with an aliexpress manual WDT tool.
Sweet! Maybe I should compare Weber vs a 3D printed one? Can't extoll more about Weber's workmanship though - they really do make their products well.
If it wasn’t for the shipping cost, I would have gotten one months ago. That and many of webers products. Shipping Cost feels like a rip off.
I didn't even realize it till you mentioned it. $32 shipping for me - I treated it like some tax amount. Sigh.
Oh no, guess I'll have to look forward to your EG-1 vs EK43 review :)
Hahaa! Endgame level crisis!
Dune is actually universe spanning, not galaxy spanning.
You should do the slayer mod and do a video on it. Currently I am using Bambino as I am a beginner
I'm so tempted! Playing around with temperature as a variable these days though. It's definitely my next "mod"!
Nice review / comparison :) Pyxis is just so cute and tiny, I think that's the main thing it's got going for it! I can't believe it's even more expensive than already expensive LUNAR, but does offer 0.01g accuracy, which the Lunar SHOULD for its price point as well, The Lunar kinda does have the option to display in 0.01g but probably not so accurately (I don't think they claim it's only accurate to 0.1g in the specs). You could probably change the Pyxis to display 0.1g and it will jump around less if you prefer! You definitely don't want to put a big Latte mug on the little baby Pyxis. Espresso shot glass should work better, still could see some obscuring the display, even a cortado cup on my Lunar sometimes obscures the display a little, if not positioned well. Using an app to mirror the display would help, but it's often annoying to use an app I have 2 smart scales and 99.9% of the time I don't bother with apps. The pad is nice because it insulates against shock and heat, apparently heat isn't good for the scale, but I just don't like the feel of putting down a hard cup down on an aluminum scale! It should cover more of the scale and/or have an adhesive option, on my Hiroia Jimmy the whole weighing pad has a nice silicon adhesive pad on it (I think it was an extra part my friend bought and installed, it doesn't come with it I believe) but it makes using the scale a lot nicer with the pad I find! LOL "your an coffee scale, that's your job!" I did find even with the Lunar it seems more unsure / sensitive, there's settings to change that, but I tried messing around with them and no matter what it seems to jump around a bit more than the Hiroia Jimmy which doesn't seem as affected by slight vibrations or a breeze. If you haven't played with the Pyxis settings, try tweaking that and see if it works better for you (assuming you haven't returned or re-sold it yet!). You might want to check out the Jimmy scale, it has a detachable, magnetic display which I thought was gimmicky at first, but for a large cup or for weighing out a bowl of coffee beans or something else it comes in very handy so the display portion is out of the way not obscured. It is a larger scale though so doesn't sit as nicely on some small espresso machines drip tray, but as a pro, it can also be used more comfortably for pour overs!
So true! Will try out the Jimmy 😁
Had the bdb for about a week. I was considering an E61 for esthetics & reliability however the lower price, heat up time, and function made me choose the dual boiler. I think its a fantastic machine.
Love it! There's some serious value for money here, agree.
That was a great review. I have the Infuser and it is a great machine to learn how to make espresso coffee. I would like to have the BDB…but it would not make sense now since I have a lot to learn before upgrading my machine.
The Infuser is a great machine! Upgradeitus is hard to avoid, I'll give you that 🤣
I really enjoyed your video
Haha, thanks!
Hello Sir. I am debating on that "BDB".. I was just wondering if you have made back to back drinks for friends/family. I entertain family quite alot. How do you feel this machine would keep up based on your experience? I know the brew boiler is only 300ml but I hear the temp recovery is good. Thanks. Enjoy your review of the BDB...
Great question. I've had a good experience running back to back for 6-7 drinks, but haven't tested beyond that. What really surprised me was the thermal stability of the saturated group head. No flushing necessary! About the 300ml brew boiler - I do hear water refilling the boiler, but it seems to take in small amounts every time and doesn't pause / standby in between. Honestly - some other RUclipsrs did a great job of validating this claim (Lance Hendrick) - do check out their videos!
Hi Kartikay, just found your channel as I am getting delivery of my Infuser today. I'm not a beginner, but I don't like spending so much money as they want for machines these days. I think you do a good job overall, kinda fun way to cover the topics. Not so stiff, you know? Keep it up, man.
Infuser high-five! I love that machine!
I put this in pretty much all my blends.
The volumetric control was my main reason for purchasing the machine. Whilst I’d love to learn and play with a manual lever machine, my partner just wants a coffee in the morning. I believe that’s why Breville designed a machine that “prosumers” and “novices” can both use and enjoy.
Great point, it's pretty versatile across different interest levels!
Great video thank you
Great video friend!
I tried Monsooned Malabar last year and it is my favorite. I use a French press and love the low acidity and the earthy flavor profile.
High-five! I'm missing a Monsoon Malabar - going to order it again!
Thanks for this. Trying to justify this for myself but it's really hard with that price tag. I mean it's still a f**king scale 😂. Would fit my needs perfectly though and a scale is in fact an important tool for making good coffee. It's just not that this makes your coffee so much better like a better grinder does...
Haha! Yeah man, that's just inexcusable. I'd say just go for it. Give yourself a break!
First time with Kartikay! I like your schtick! I subscribed!
Great video!
sounds like you said the portafilter isn't easy to switch around? i just bought a OEM bottomless portafilter in 58mm and will try out some after market baskets. i hear the stock baskets are good but if I can eliminate as many variables for making bad coffee im all for it. will you tinker with other portafilters/baskets? wondering also, if you have any tools you recommend for leveling the coffee once its distributed. i've seen some distrubutors that have different shapes on the bottom end (a separate tool than WDT) but not sure which would be best
Yup, as long as you're buying a portafilter that specifically mentions support for the BDB, you're in good hands. About baskets: I've been thinking of getting an IMS basket but I hear I need even better / more accurate pick prep. Haha! Holding off on that experimentation for a bit - but definitely plan to get to it later this year! Do tell me how your basket experiments come along!
Distributors - still doing my research. 58mm opens up a lot of good options!
Yeah it takes 7 minutes for the steam and boiler but your group head may not be up to temp in 7 minutes if you've got the portafilter locked in. That's a lot of thermal mass to heat up.
That's a great point. Like, whoa! Let me try to test / read more about this. I do flush through some water to warm things up as well, but likely more time helps!
Ok now that's something none of the reviews have said... How many times they flush before prepping and pulling a shot. An interesting question indeed
I normally warm up without the portafilter attached and then run some hot water over it to heat it up before drying it and prepping my shot
I just got the BDB myself a few days ago... I am having issues where the volume of espresso out is way too much... in 30 seconds, getting like 160g from an 18g in. Not sure what I'm doing wrong, my grind, my puck prep?
Could be both but try grinding finer....wayyyy finer first.
Awesome - congrats! Agree with SolmanJapan here - you likely need to grind much finer before you can blame your puck prep 🤣. The grinder makes the biggest difference!
Awesome review Kartikay!
Solid opening 😂
Haha. I really think I got this machine for the name!
You have really great videos! Keep it up!
I use Pyxis as my travel scale together with my Picopresso and J-Max Handgrinder. Makes really good espresso
Aaaahhh .. that makes sense. I've been trying to find a good reason for the Pyxis, this one actually makes sense!
Try the Algerian Coffee Store in Old Compton St London, an excellent source on Monsoon Malabar. I have no connection with the shop, I have been buying Malabar from them for 30 years!
Zero clue why they made it that small
💯💯 totally agree!
Really enjoyed how you presented this. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
B-roll
On point!
The coffee machine you have tells me everything
🤣🤣 I hope in a good way? Haha! I've been beating that poor Breville for 5 years now!
Watched 3 other videos before I saw yours and couldn’t get it til I watched yours 😂
