I just got this machine and this is a god send!
This is the first video that has ACTUALLY solved my issue
we have this machine, i have learned so much from this. great demo, thank you. my coffee tastes totally different
Thanks, that was helpful. I was messing with the grinder this morning.
Great video, as always, Tom. Thanks!! I’ll copy-paste that setting to my Breville Smart Pro…
Wonderful lessons.
Lookin' good Tom! Heading to the kitchen myself to fire up the Espresso machine for my morning Long Black. Have a good one.
A great explanatory video, as always 🙏
Yes 🎉
Great video.
Great job! Thank you!
Recently bought the same machine ❤ Thank you for tutorial 😊
You betcha! Have fun with this cool machine!
Love your videos. So helpful. Thank you!
Glad you like them, and thanks for your feedback!
Excellent!!!
Thank you that was so useful wish u all the best
i rewatch and rewatch this video, I learned a lot, now i can pull a decent shot repeatedly.
I just notice that you start the timer right after you press the button, somes videos like hoons they start the timer, when it start to hit the cup, so they not include the pre infusion.
But i really like the result, the way you presented in the video😊
First Video that is really helpful
Glad you think so! Enjoy your machine!
Hi Tom,
I was so impressed with your presentation I went out and bought one of these machines, your dialing in tips worked great.
Great to hear! Enjoy your machine!
thank you for your videos. Hello from France
Thanks for watching! Greetings!
I'm now looking forward to going downstairs and giving this a go. I've got the exact same machine and some good, fresh beans. Wish me luck!
Hope you enjoy it! Have fun experimenting!
Tom, after watching many of your videos and learning a lot, I decide to buy the express impress. My wife is also a daily user and she got the hang of it rather quickly. I'm drinking around 3 shots daily and learning a lot along the way. Espresso is like wine, you need to understand there will be sensorial differences from cup to cup and go with it. When you find a great one, take note of the settings and buy the beans again....but never stop testing new ones. :)
Agreed! Thanks for posting your experience! Cheers :)
Hi Tom, congratulations for your videos. I fell in love with this machine but I'm afraid I have problems when there are guests and I have to make a lot of coffee quickly.
Haha, yes for that you'd need at least a dual boiler machine, and even at that it's a lot of work to make so many espresso based drinks. Still nice machine though!
Thanks for your quick answer 😊
Very helpful video. I had my grinder set to 7 and everything was going downhill from there. Was able to improve my pressure reading immediately. Although I'm getting better results, I'm not getting anywhere near as beautiful a shot as you pulled. I think it has to be the beans. I looked up Dinzler, and it looks like they are not readily avaialble in the US. Can you recommend some other brands that are easier to source? Thanks for the great work.
Great video! Just learning my impress as I watch your videos. How long do you hold your pre-infusion before letting go? And when do you stop?
Oh, I experiment with that. Sometimes I hold it down a full 10 seconds, sometimes just a few...kind of depends on dose size and desire to experiment. Have fun!
Tom, I love the fact that you are doing a dialing in video. I am fine with dialing in at this point, but it is great for others. I think so many creators gloss over this sort of video.
As for the dialing in process, I find that I like to up dose rather than tighten the grind as my beans age. This is only really an issue with 1 kilo bags of beans that are more commercially available such as Lavazza. The beans tend to take up less space in the portafilter as they age, for whatever reason and adding half a gram seems to solve all of my problems. I really only have to do this once for a 1kg bag. With fresher coffee from local roasters, I might have to adjust my grind by a click here and there as it ages/rests but usually not because I can kill off the bag faster than it changes, lol.
Also, you have showcased those beans so much that I will have to take a trip to get some once I am back in the EU, lol.
Oh, and I think the Impress is a good option for my wife and I in the future. Though I wish they had a pro model rather than a touch model. I have a Bambino Plus, but she says it is too much fuss to make coffee. I was thinking that the impress might take out just enough of the fuss to be usable for her. Idk if it will take away the fun for me though, lol. Can always pair it up with a Flair 58 for when I want to play around with a single origin etc.
Anyway, as always, I appreciate the time and effort you take to make these videos. Already looking forward to the next one, thank you.
Thanks much for your thoughtful comment! Yes, Dinzler is the most consistent and reliable roaster I know. They are just great. Kind of expensive, but I need good beans for these videos. I quite like the Impress' internal tamper, it's a nice feature. My wife likes it too. If this had the updated steam wand on it, I think it would be the best in the lineup. Thanks for the tip on updosing a little. I could try that. Cheers!
Happy Wife, happy life - her commentary on the Impress review really solidified my choice to go with the Impress. Thank you for your thorough reviews! @@TomsCoffeeCorner
Nice review. I buy it this machine😊 now i will buy bottomless portafilter and steem wand with 4holes😂
Awesome, have fun!
Thanks for the video.
I bought the Express Impress Friday last week, tried to dial it in without any luck. I learned it the hard way, that older beans were bad 😅
No matter what I did, it tasted horrible. Saturday I bought a back of beans at the supermarket, looking at the packing dates and choosing on that was packet a couple of months ago. But found out after my first shot, that it was light roasted beans. They were acidic as h*** but got them dialed in a little better, so the taste was less acidic with a little bitterness, but not drinkable😝
I ordered some fresh roasted beans that should be here tomorrow. Hopefully I can manage to dial in those beans.
Can you please make a video about inner burr and outer grind settings? I don't quiet understand why you have to change the inner burr setting and to what. Maybe because different RUclips videos tell different things about it. You set yours to 3, while others say don't set it lower than 5 or it will get worn out quicker, and others again say leave it at factory settings.
Thanks for good explanatory videos 😊👍
Hi there and thanks for your comment! Honestly, the burr thing is a personal preference. I like to set it at 3 so that I am kind of in the middle of the range for espresso, being able to use the whole dial on the side for dialing in. If you leave the inner burr at five, then you will have much less range on the outer dial, at least that's my observation. The burrs won't wear out any quicker, as long as they are not abutting each other of course. At least I don't see how they could. Cheers!
@@TomsCoffeeCorner Thanks for the answer 🙂
Just to know if I understand it correctly....If you leave the burr at factory setting (6), you'll have a narrower scale for espresso on the outer dial, and by lowering the burr setting to e.g 3 you are widening the range on the outer dial....for espresso?
@@jimmysirlonewolflauritsen1831Yes, that’s my experience. Cheers!
@@TomsCoffeeCorner Thanks. I just learned something new.
Cheers and good brewing
This is like a whole new language!! The language of coffee...I want to buy this exact machine, but worry I won't know how the hell to use it...🤔
There's lots of good videos on YT on how to do it. Good luck with your decision!
Fantastic video. I’d love to see you dial-in your La Specialista Arte. Since mine came back from delonghi repair I can’t get the pressure up to the goldilocks zone. Despite good beans and a grinder setting of 1. Maybe my beans are now too old (1/June)
Hmm, well I did make a short video on the Arte, how to get into the "optimal zone." But it sounds like you're doing things right...not sure what happened with your repair. How fine do the grounds feel?
Good question. Luckily I could compare with leftovers from a previous grind. Answer: very fine. I also notice that when I overfill (21g) the pressure goes up vey slowly and reaches the Goldilocks zone after 1 minute! I’ll contact support.
Hey Tom, very cool video. I have been using my breville for months with the internal grind at 4, but I am curious to try it at 3 with your settings. Can you pls tell me where you bought the bottomless filter ? Which company made it?
Thx
It's a Normcore PF.
Great Video. Can you please name what glass coffee cups are you using, looks so elegant want to buy them 😅
Hi there! Yes I like them too. They are these ones here: amzn.to/3Kt1nEr
Not sure if they are available outside Europe though. Cheers!
Great Video! But i have a question,what kind sieve you use it for your portafilter in the video?I use Double portafilter with many holes, my coffee doesn't come out properly, it doesn't extract it as well as you do. Although I use all settings what do you use.
That superb cream.
Are you using a new video camera? Quality is looking great!
Yes! Thanks for noticing. I went from a Canon M50 to a C200. It's pretty amazing what shooting in a log profile can do for dynamic range, creating more depth in the footage. It also means I have a lot to learn. I shot this video just in 1080p, but will be releasing some 4k videos from the C200 soon. Cheers!
@@TomsCoffeeCorner wow, that's a big upgrade! Looks alot more professional already
@@davemurray9107 Thanks Dave!
Great video Tom! I noticed that you changed the portafilter at the end, without the dual spout. Does that affect the coffee taste and outcome?
I just like that you can see the extraction, and so it helps diagnose any issues in puck prep. Plus, it looks nice. :)
Agree! Is there any one (third party or not) that you would recommend?
i got the breville barista express, but i kinda wish i got this one, cause my tamping sucks.
Hallo, super Video. Kann es sein, dass die Maschine keinen low water sensor hat?
Nein, das hat sie leider nicht. Das finde ich auch sehr ärgerlich!
So, is the single shot setting the same in Trial 5? How many grams should I dose?
The sage Gaslight express.
??
Hi! I have rewatched your video(s) so many times over the last couple of days but no matter what I try, every shot is sour on my express impress and I have wasted so many pricy beans at this point. I just got fresh beans that were literally roasted 4 days ago. I tried it at the default temp, then raised my temperature to the highest one. Then middle. Then default. I left my burr on 6 as it came that way and changed it to 5, 4, 3. All the while also one-by-one adjusting the outer grind settings everywhere from like 4-17 (and even went down to 1 today just for the hell of it), and still sour. But the other problem is when I do go super fine, it comes out super slowly which tells me it's too fine, but then it is STILL SOUR? I can tell from the smell it is not right and that it is sour before even tasting it.
I got a scale; I measure, I time. I do not have the issue of the liquid flowing too quickly, but if anything, sometimes it won't begin until about 13+ seconds (I start the timer when I click the double shot button), and the output is like, barely a few grams. So then I turn the dial to make it more coarse. Then back and forth.
This has become a very pricy experiment - waiting for my IMS precision double basket and bottomless portafilter to arrive any day now too. I am so exasperated. I forget what coffee should taste like because everything is sour (even though my house smells amazing from the pounds of failed beans). I get frustrated, quit, and run back to my nespresso (or tea because I am just pissed off, lol).
Is there anything else I am missing?
Are you using light, med or dark roasted beans? A bottomless PF will help tremendously, as you can then see your puck prep, and if it's taking too long. Shots that take forever are not good either. Lighter roasts are notoriously harder to extract. What's your ratio like? If you have a sour shot, you can pull it longer into like a 3:1 ratio or so, to add some bitter flavors at the end of the shot to balance the sour. Maybe upload a video of your routine. Cheers!
You should get a guest drinker to finish all of the shots 🤤
I know. We cannot drink them all. 😅
😂😂😂😂😂🎉🎉🎉
Hi Tom, I finally ordered the Barista Express Impress, I hope to be able to get some good coffee because so far I have only used some super automatic DeLonghi. Can you recommend a good scale that is not too expensive? In your video you mention Black Magic but I couldn't find the link you're talking about. Thanks!
Giorgio
Hi Giorgio, I have been recommending the small MiiCoffee, since it is even more economical than the Timemore, and it works great too. geni.us/MiiCoffeeNanoScale
Thank you Tom, you are really nice. I take advantage of your availability and competence to ask you one more thing: yesterday I got the Barista Express Impress and today I started to try a few shots. I noticed that cleaning the baskets by doing an extraction without coffee there is water left in the basket (both using the normal basket and the pressurized basket). Is that normal?
Sure, there will be residual water left in the basket, since the basket provides a little water resistance, even with no coffee.@@giorgiocastiglia6027
@@TomsCoffeeCorner Thanks Tom🙏 😅😅
Hello Tom. I hope you are well and thank you for all your informative videos.
I just purchased this machine. Every time I use the auto dose and the dosage shows green I weigh the amount of coffee and it shows 20 or 21g. It is not like your first attempt in this videos where your 22g was showing up as 'overdosed' on the dosage lighting system. I have tried another grind size, then reset the dosage by pressing the filter button for 3secs but it always seems to be around 20-21g whenever the dosage light is green - it is almost as if the machine thinks this is the correct weight. Would you have any recommendations?
Well, you can also use the manual mode, which is timer based. Just empirically find out where you need to set the knob to get your ideal dose of i.e. 16 grams.
The volume in the basket is going to differ in weight a bit, based on roast. Lighter roasts are denser than darker roasts for example, since there's still more water contained in the beans that hasn't been roasted off.
It checks the volume, not the weight. Depending on the grinding setting and type of beans, puck density will change. Use smaller basket if you want smaller dose. Alternatively you could grind manual dose and add puck screen on top of the puck to prevent water channeling
Hi Tom! I have been following your videos and I just got my Barista Express Impress today, I started to play around with it to learn the ropes.
I want to buy a bottomless portafilter (Normcore) and an IMS Precision basket but I have a question: since the tamping is done by volume and the "smart" tamper stops at a specific height with the standard Sage PF/basket, what size of IMS basket should I buy to keep an 18 grams dose?
I saw that IMS has 4 heights and since I'm using a medium roast coffee I think I should use either a 26 or a 28mm... but I'm not sure which one! Which size do you recommend?
Thanks a lot!
Hi there! I'd go for the H26 myself. Should be able to dose 18 grams in there, H28 might be a little deep. Have fun! Tom
@@TomsCoffeeCorner Thanks a lot, will do that!
i noticed you changed the grind setting will it was grinding? Why then and not before you started? Thanks for vidoes
Yes, irrespective of model, it is best practice to always change setting while the burrs are moving. It is mechanically the only way on some grinders, and even if you can move the setting, the result could be very imprecise in case an uncrushed bean is stuck in there for example.
@@cbrunnkvist thank you
This is correct. Cheers!
Hi Tom , I have this machine and followed your video to set it up but I found I wasn’t getting anything through on internal grind 3 even when set to 25 on the outside gauge. I ended up getting to inside gauge 6 and outside gauge 20 before I was getting a creamy looking espresso that pulled after 12 seconds and then lasted a total of 38 seconds. Is there any negatives to such a course grind size in comparison ? For reference the coffee is from a local roaster with excellent reviews and were only roasted 19 days ago.
No, there's no problem with that. It seems unusual to my experience, but maybe your burr set was calibrated differently than mine. Sounds like you're on a good path. Cheers!
Hallo Tom, I noticed you altered the grind setting whilst the grinder was on, is this normal? I have a Eureka Mignon, and read something that suggested you are correct. in setting the grinder during the grinding process. Should I copy you? Thanks.
Hi there! Yes, it's less strain on the motor if you adjust while it's in motion.
@@TomsCoffeeCorner Thanks, the things you learn that aren't in the manual, eh?
Great video! I got the same machine, but somehow my shots taste way too strong, albeit balanced. I get good-looking extractions in about 25-30 seconds with a dark roast and a ratio of 1:2 for 18g. Any tips?
Hmm, then try extending your ratio to 1:3
Tip for you: maybe espresso is not your thing. Try adding more water to your perfect espresso
If it tastes too strong, maybe it is the flavor profile of the bean that you don't like. Perhaps try a medium or medium dark bean (with the same specs as you have been doing) and see if it tastes too strong to you. In theory, your shots sound perfect. However, if you are not liking the tastes, then "perfect" doesn't matter.
Hi Tom. I just wonder - is this model available in white color or is it in the plan of Breville? I did not find it in any store...
Colors should be coming to more markets soon. Hopefully in the fall.
@@TomsCoffeeCornervery good. let´s see. I like that white one.
I thought buying coffee machine is easy, but I am confused, now 😁 First, I was thinking about something like Silvercrest as it is cheap and small. But I saw your movie comparing Silvercrest to Dedica EC685, so I decide to go to DeLonghi. Then I saw EC885 model which has better steamer and it is just £40 more. I went to shop to check if they have one in stock and found Magnifica Evo and I start to think it is easier to use than barista style coffee machine. Start looking for more reviews I realised coffee taste much better when using portafilter instead of fully automatic express. I am wondering - I drink 3-4 coffee's a day (lattes, cappuccinos, sometimes long black). I am amateur, never used portafilter coffee machines, but I like good quality coffee. After some research I found Sage Barista Express and that's the one I liked most. Do you think it is worth buying for me as a novice? Or better stay with DeLonghi EC885 and separate grinder?
Thanks for any advice
Hmm. I honestly think the BBE or the Barista Impress is the best machine to start on, because it includes everything you need, and it does a good job. It will make better espresso than the Dedica, as the temp is more stable and you can adjust it properly. But the Dedica is great for people with a limited budget. Cheers!
Dedica is my first machine as well, with a very shitty Delonghi KG89 grinder, which does not grind fine enough and has huge steps. Been using the setup for 2 years and yes, the shots arent perfet, they are too acidic most of the time, but its still better than what you get at random coffee shops where the barrista just follow steps without caring.
Over all its a great machine to start with, specially if you get a better grinder, You can look into 1zpresso manual grinders which are great for espresso. People have had excellent results with Dedica and 1zPresso.
Currently planning on upgrading, so looking towards barista express impress
Hi Tom, I would like to ask you for some advice: I have read some criticisms about the automatic pressing system of this machine. Some people say that grinding releases more coffee in the centre of the filter holder and then pressing without distributing the coffee results in a non-homogeneous surface. In your opinion it would be possible to use a WDT before pressing and without removing the filter holder, perhaps only removing the protection in front of the pad (as you did in this video)?
Thanks
Giorgio
Hi Giorgio, please check this video for a workaround: ruclips.net/user/shortsQe13bsI9PpU?feature=share
Thanks Tom, that's what I needed 😊👍🏼👍🏼
Hey! @@giorgiocastiglia6027 FYI I got the dosing funnel in the linked video above after reading the comment, but be aware that the video above seems to be of the Touch Impress. The funnel will not work with the express impress (not enough clearance) unless you remove the splitter
@@marsf537Thanks for the clarification, this was the meaning of my question and it was what I feared, but maybe just remove the dropper tray.
@@giorgiocastiglia6027 Yes, that's another option - should work
Great video, thanks very much. When you press the button to start the espresso extraction process, why do you keep your finger on the button for a short while and then let go? (I press it and let go immediately)
Also, are you stopping the flow of espresso yourself or letting the machine stop?
This is so that I can manually stop it later. I like to measure out my dose each time.
whats the effect of inner collar settings..is it significant to grind setting?
The smaller the number, the finer the grind. You can leave it at the default of 5, if you get a good extraction with that, but if the grind is still too coarse at an outer dial setting of 1, then you can decrease the inner burr setting from 5 down to 4 or 3 for example.
Hi Tom, in order to get my extraction over 25s, I have to put my grind setting to the point where the automatic dosing gives me 19-19.5 grams. Any tips on how to get that down with this machine?
Well, you can use it in manual, timed mode to use less. And if you need to, grind a little finer. Cheers!
Hi Tom, I’m here again asking for your help: I’m using the Lavazza Crema e Gusto coffee from the supermarket (6 months old) and I can get a decent coffee even using the single-wall basket. The only problem is that (2 times out of 3 ) when I remove the filter holder after brewing the coffee remains stuck to the group. The delivery times are average (25-27seconds x 18 g) and the pressure is in the gray area at about 11 o’clock, what could be the reason in your opinion? Grinding too fine?
Thank you
Giorgio
Hi Giorgio, that can happen from time to time. I don't see it as a problem to fix. Cheers!
Thanks for the reply Tom!
Have a nice week
Hi Tom, ver nice and educational video! One element still concerns me and that is the variability of the amount of coffee from the grinder. If you do not change the settings and beans will you after the learning phase of the machine receive a consistent weight of coffee each time?
Sure, it will be pretty close - I'd say +- 0.5 grams most of the time. Cheers!
just recently bought breville impress, just watched some videos that ideal extraction time is 25-30sec. When to start count, the moment you press the button or the moment it start to hit the ground.
Default setting for burr is 6,
I already consume 1 packed of beans and stay awake for a while.
what is ideal settings and time of extraction in your opinion.
Hi there! I start the timer when the pump starts, as that is when the puck is confronted by water and pressure, and therefore that is when the extraction starts. Cheers!
@@TomsCoffeeCorner wow thanks, the other video i watched is they included the first 10sec, so it means it extracted under 20sec
I got the same machine. I bought fresh beans, beans of a supermarket and ordered mid-class beans online. So far I always have the same problem. I setup my grind to be around 30 seconds extraction and match around 1:2 ratio of coffee : espresso. Right now (double filter) with the current beans the Dosing is around 19g, Extraction Time is around 32 seconds and 40g Espesso. The Espresso still tastes sour.
I'm always trying just to adjust grind size first then shot volume. Am I doing this wrong?
Maybe try pulling a longer shot, to reduce sourness. You can also increase the temperature on this machine. You'll probably benefit from doing that, especially for light roasted beans.
Hey could you do your review in german I think you would kill that market. But I know it would take more time lol 😅 but maybe more subscribers
Here, I'll share a sneak peek with you...should be released pretty soon. :) ruclips.net/video/RuV3p2HZxJY/видео.html
Can you recommend some great bean roasting suppliers/companies in the US? I want to order some. All I find are the prepackaged-too old beans across different grocery stores.
Well, I can only speak to the ones I know. I like Colectivo in Milwaukee, and Cedarburg Coffee Roasters: www.cedarburgcoffee.com/shop/northern-italian-espresso-blend
But, most areas will have some decent roasters around. They are popping up lately, kind of like the craft beer brewers. Cheers!
@@TomsCoffeeCorner Awesome. Thanks Tom, I’ll look around. There are some good coffee shops with coffee beans on sale. I’ll check those first
is there a Filter Button on the Impress touch? I want just a little less coffee, but not full manual mode.
Sure, you can choose a single or double filter basket.
@@TomsCoffeeCorner I meant the function at minute 6:20 so that it doses a little less, the auto function always doses too much (a good 21 grams).
With Ims basket filter do i have to ground more fine ? And on the the manual dose should i turn max to right or left cause on your video look like its on the left
I find you have to grind a little finer with the IMS, yes. Smaller numbers are finer. Cheers!
@@TomsCoffeeCornerhi how about the dosing
Can you test a bit more about using an after market basket with the impress and how it effects the auto dosing ? Read somewhere its auto dosing is made perticularlly for its own basket, which has a tappered shape and using a basket like IMS with more flat sides result in auto dosing not giving the right amount ?
A test with IMS basket and seeing what amount the auto dosing gives in back to back run vs its own basket for consistancy would be grand
Also, from what i have read, the auto dosing aims for 18 grams, is there an option to lower that to 16 ? or would auto dosing always be around 18 grams ?
The dosing is all based on tamper depth. I am actually using an IMS basket, and it works great! I normally get 18 grams. But you can get less if you just choose a more shallow IMS basket.
@@TomsCoffeeCorner can you get less grams on the same basket with change in setting ?
You can also just use manual mode, which is timer based.@@SeriouslyTechy
@@TomsCoffeeCorner hey Tom, can you tell me which bottomless porta filter are you using with your ims basket?
Normcore@@SeriouslyTechy
Need some help. When I use my Impress, they left dosing side works fine, but when it comes to the brewing, it is always way too shallow in volume (yes, I use a scale). How do I configure/calibrate and lengthen the brew volume to hit the 2:1 ratio you mention?
Press and hold down the 1 cup or 2 cup button to start the extraction, and enter programming mode. Then, when your volume is reached press the button again to save.
Hi, ich habe alles genau wie du beschrieben hast eingestellt. Ich mahle auf Auto. Tampe im grünen Bereich. Aber der shot läuft viel zu schell durch. Ich habe die gleichen bohnen wie du. Woran kann das liegen?
Es kann sein, dass meiner frischer sind. Oder, die innere Einstellung unterscheidet sich. Ich habe meins auf 3 eingestellt. Du? Gruß!
@@TomsCoffeeCorner Hi ich habe die Maschine heute bekommen. Und alles eingestellt. Habe auch den inneren Kreis auf 3 stehen und den normalen Mahlgrad auf 14. Komischerweise läuft der zu schell durch. Ich habe ca 16 g im Doppelsieb und es landen unter 30 Sekunden 32 gramm in der Tasse.timer startet automatisch wenn der espresso in die Tasse läuft. Weiß nicht was ich falsch gemacht habe. Habe auch zu wenig Druck. Die bohnen sind von Ende Dezember
Meinst du ich soll das Auto dosing nochmal resetten und neu einwiegen?
Do you have to dial in every time you buy different beans
Well, that depends on if you buy different bean types, and even if you stick with the same ones, depending on the roast date it can alter the grind size requried.
Hola, tengo esta misma cafetera pero no consigo que el manómetro me de presión si no uso el filtro presurizado. ¿A qué se puede deber esto?. En tu video no usas filtro presurizado y el manómetro sí marca presión.
Un saludo.

I’m guessing that your beans are probably too old - or in other words roasted too long ago.

Ive got the touch version and mine always seems to need trimming. Ive had it for 5 days now and each time it seems to dose in 22-24g so im wasting coffee etc. Any suggestions? Also when i do trim do i retamp or do i do the original two tamps then trim and pull shot?
Hold in the "Filter" button for 3 seconds, to shave some seconds off the next grinding time. Cheers!
@TomsCoffeeCorner but I've got the touch impress not the express version. Is it still the same thing for me? Just hold the grind picture for 3 seconds?
Ach good question. I don't see a way to do that on the BTI. Here's the manual, page 15 shows the grinding functions, but I don't see a way to reduce it: assets.breville.com/BES881/BES881_ANZ_IB_B22_FA_LR.pdf@@mrtrumpsta369
Watched your video multiple times, I dunno if it’s the beans or my settings. I keep adjusting the grind but no success. :( really frustrating. I can’t get a good honey style flow and the puck is always too wet I find. Coffee goes from two extremes sour and bitter : can’t get to get the balance right :(
Hello there! Yes, your beans are probably too old - or in other words roasted too long ago.

Oh man... so you're timing from the moment you press the button? so pre infusion + proper extraction should take no more than 25-32s? to me that seems like a SUPER quick shot. I always time my espresso from the moment the first drop hits my cup. Or perhaps I'm doing it totally wrong? Open to everyones take on that
also. It simply boggles my mind how in the world can anyone set this to a 3 inner and a 13 .. and get the coffee running so smoothly and fast. Virtually any medium roast coffee bean at these setting would barely drip with my machine (proper pressure, same dose... OH perhaps with one difference - a puck screen)
This is a constant topic of discussion. I start counting when the pump starts, as that is when the puck is confronted with the incoming water and pressure. But to each, his own.
Only getting pre infusion pressure. How can I get more bar pressure?

Hi Tom, yesterday I discovered something strange: I tried to make a coffee with the single cup basket and the machine produced a large quantity of coffee, practically like a double. So I wanted to check how much water it produced, I made a dispensing (without coffee and without filter holder) of a single and then a double: both times the machine dispensed exactly 100 ml of water. To be safe, I restored the factory values and redid the extractions: always 100 ml of water, both with the single shot and with the double shot. Repeated the reset and the two extractions again, the result did not change. I expected that the extraction of a single coffee would produce about half as much water as double and not the same. I tried contacting Sage support but they couldn't tell me if this is normal or not. It's not a real problem because, fortunately, by customizing the extraction quantity this is maintained, but it's strange, what do you think of this?
Giorgio
Hi Giorgio, the water is measured with an encoder based water wheel. The thing is, these count different under no load, versus load. This is why when pulling extractions, the results in the cup vary, sometimes quite a lot, based on dose and grind fineness. When however there is no load (no PF inserted), it can count accurately, and will likely stop at a max of 100ml. I do agree with you though, that logically it would make sense that the single stop at 50ml. Cheers!
Thanks for the reply Tom. I
am convinced that under equal conditions (dispensing of water only) the programming of the single shot should be half that of the double shot. I also saw some videos on RUclips (of the basic Barista Express) that show that the single extraction is half the price. But I don't feel like sending the car for repairs (from Italy to Germany) just for this reason.😢😢
Can someone explain the yield concept to me? The manufacturing settings say we should br left with 60ml of coffee for a double basked. How he can say we should be aiming for something around the 30gs... I'm so confused
Grams and ml are different measurements. It’s best to go by weight not volume.
Hi Tom, I'm afraid I still need your help: I use my Express Impress with the manual dosage and inserting only the weighed dose of about 18 grams into the grinder. Of course the grinder keeps turning for few seconds empty . Today I felt like I smelled burnt rubber, is it possible that by doing so I am damaging the engine of the grinder?
Giorgio
Hi Giorgio, I can't imagine so. Sometimes motors smell though, when running. But I don't know more about that, sorry!
@@TomsCoffeeCorner Thank you for the answer, you are always really kind. I will try to avoid making it work empty as little as possible.🙏
Porque muele más café del que yo necesito, y no logro que el siguiente sea igual que el anterior. En cuanto a gramos de café molido, seco ?
Try pushing in the "filter" button for 3 seconds to lessen the grind time, and reset the amount of the adaptive dosing.
@@TomsCoffeeCorner Gracias !!!
Anyone can recommend a good coffee machine? This one is too big and would not look good in my kitchen. I have dedica ec885 but not very good espresso comes out of it. I'd like to level up my coffee machine
It depends on your market. What about a Lelit Grace?
A really stupid question from my side: With the dial on the right side you are changing the grind level, right? But what is it that you are setting up inside of the mill (which you should in the review, which you set from 6 towards 2).
The inner burr collar changes the burr seating within its carrier. The smaller the number, the finer it will grind. Hope that helps!
@@TomsCoffeeCorner understood! And the wheel specifies the amount / time, right?!
What settings would you use for Starbucks blonde espresso beans?
Probably like 95-96 degrees, and then vary the dose and grind a little to see what you can get out of them. Cheers!
breville barista express impress how to standby mode settings😊
I wish I knew! I don't think you can change the standby time...
thx@@TomsCoffeeCorner
My pressure gauge does not go above pre infusion ,whats wrong?

Anyone else have a clicking sound with this machine when using the steam? Almost sounds like expansion sounds as it heats up.
I'm having no success making a shot I've turned my inner grind to four and I've tried the outer grind at 17,16,15,14,12,10,7 when I've been below 12 it's come out choking it with tiny drips not making any expresso. I've been in the 17 and 16 it's come out with a 19 gram dose producing 47 to 60 gram shots and taking 30 to 35 seconds .
I'm using coffee from a roaster that was done on September 24th and it's October 25th I've gone through three bags of coffee no success
is there any way that you could help me? my pressure only ever goes just below the middle in the express oh range except when I've gone down to the 12 ground on the outside it doesn't get into the Gray. Is there a problem with the machine if the pressure is not getting higher than that? I've watched like eight different videos from people to try to understand what can be happening. I'm using the double shot basket single walled I'm not using the pressurized one because I thought these beans are fresh enough?
Those beans should be fresh enough. Why not try the 15 setting, and upload a video? Would be interesting to see.
i was wrong they were sep 18th so 1 month 1 week. I picked up fresh beans roasted 2 days ago and world of difference. The other beans just wouldnt work compared to the fresh. I have these ones t 14 with internal 5 grind setting and can get 19 grams producing 41 grams (customized the shot time from the factory after i seen its doing a 1:3 ration) and i get the 41 in 26 sec with beauty color and crem :)@@TomsCoffeeCorner
Hi Tom question - i got the beans that are only 2 days old from roaster from my other favo place today. I decided to try setting the internal burr back to 6 and start from there. I have tried the lower 8,9,10 setting outer grind and it doesnt produce good shots, and choke or take over a minut etc. BUt i have some good success at 12 when i do the auto dosing and they tase good, when i was doing the dialing in of measuring out 18g manually i did do okay at 10 setting. Just wondering why all the videos i see they are showing a grind size for like 5, 4,,3,2 and usually have inner burr set ot 4, 5, sometimes 6. The cmachine is getting into the esspresso zone, i am starting to worry i should be sending it back as i just bought it on oct 10 and have a 30 day return. I can send a video of success if that helps, i just want to know if a medium esspresso bean thats not oily (my coffee shop grind it at 3 on their grinders) is normal or seems off
@@TomsCoffeeCorner
@@nicolec4480 Hi Nicole, there's no reason to worry! Grind settings are totally different based on the freshness of the beans. If you are getting good results at an inner burr setting of 6, and an outer dial of 12, and you're in the espresso zone, then you are dialed in for your beans. Just keep it there, and fine tune on the outer dial as you like. If other people are using finer settings, that is probably indicative of using older beans, as they don't produce nearly as much resistance themselves. So again, no need to worry, as you are doing fine.
Thanks Tom, i appreciate the feedback. isnt it weird though that i also tried older beans - so my friend has same machine just not the impress, and he has a inner set at the factory so 5 with outer at 3 using a double basket pressure as their older beans he orders, i tried the same ones and couldnt even produce a shot on those settings it was a couple drips. I had to go way higher.@@TomsCoffeeCorner
Why do you hold the button for like 7 seconds when pre-infusing
Well, it will pre-infuse as long as you were holding the button down. I feel like it helps extractions to be more balanced, with a longer more gentle, pre-infusion.
Shouldn't you throw away at least one dose after changing grinder's settings? Did you do that off camera or you don't care if whole puck is evenly grinded?
I kind of feel it depends on how big of a change you're making. A minor change shouldn't require a whole dose to be discarded in my opinion. That being said, I don't remember if I tossed it or not in this video.
How is my pressure never move

***I’d recommend looking on google maps for local coffee roasters. That's the best way to ensure freshly roasted beans.
Cheers,

This machine advertised as 9 Bars of pressure, but I’ve never seen it goes anywhere near 6. How so? And don’t say that’s enough pressure because it’s not, if you use Flair before you’ll know the difference between 5 and 9 bars extraction.
Well, it's hard to say where the pressure really is, since there's no markings on the manometer. I agree that you can extract at 6 bars, as well as 9 bars though.
Is the machine really slow or is it me?
It's a relatively slow grinder, yes.
What the heck, the whole point of a built-in tamper is to make less mess, but this machine has a whole cutaway, the grounds are going to just fly everywhere anyway. Get the newest model of this machine that isn't cut open like that...
Lol, I just took the cover off, to have visibility of the process. Cheers!
@@TomsCoffeeCornerI didn't even realize that it had a cover! LOL. I just checked my machine and saw that you could remove it :D Nice.
thank you for your videos. Hello from France
