I’ve been a barista for well over a decade and have been on the hunt for well-encompassing videos that really cover all areas of learning your espresso, as well as keeping it detailed but simple. I was relieved to find your video, as you did a PERFECT job covering the things I want to convey to my fellow newbie baristas!!! Thank you so much, please keep it up! I am really looking forward to watching your other videos and using them to help train my coworkers. :D

Thanks for being so clear on the process from start to finish with very little in the way of "filler" material. Top marks

    Great video AJ. I like the systematic way you go through each variable, best video I saw on this topic. Few years ago I installed a PID in my Silvia and it was a game changer in terms of adding consistency to the process. I also kept detailed note book listing all variables, such as grind size, timing, etc etc for the various coffees I use. This might seem over the top for some folks, but it's fun to me, and now I can diagnose issues pretty quickly when I'm trying a new coffee bean. And coffee bean is the one thing that will constantly change, no two bags of coffee are ever the same. Cheers.

    • @Wholelattelovepage
      @Wholelattelovepage  2 года назад +1

      With the level some people go to, that doesn't seem over the top at all. It actually sounds like a nice way of tracking your process and preferences. True that no two bags will be identical, but at least now you can reference your past experiences and get in the ballpark.

    • @spencerstarr4131
      @spencerstarr4131 2 года назад +1

      Great video AJ. Very thorough. Could you and/or Mark revisit some flow control topics in the future? Loving my Synchronika with FC, but I notice some odd extractions at times-e.g. sometimes the 1/4-1/2 extraction will run faster than a regular 1 1/4 with preinfusion. Seems counterintuitive to me…

    • @Wholelattelovepage
      @Wholelattelovepage  2 года назад +2

      Hey Spencer, there will be more flow control videos coming eventually. I will say though that shot timing kind of goes out the window when flow profiling. Your example does sound counterintuitive, but I've experienced it myself before as well. The best explanation I've heard is that the low flow gently and evenly saturates the puck, allowing for degassing and expansion of the grounds in a more natural way. Full flow/pressure right out of the gate, especially on a rotary pump machine that ramps up quickly (pretend you didn't do a pre-infusion), can force fines to the bottom and almost "clog" the holes in your basket. The abrupt pressure could also be "re-tamping" your espresso and compacting it further, slowing the flow through the puck.
