I just bought the breville barista and trying to use the same bustelo beans but my espresso does not come out good, can you please tell which grind setting are you using on the inside one? You said the grind number is 16? How about about inside the grinder setting number? Please help, thanks !:)
Hi, Yoandy. I'm traveling at the moment and can't check the machine. However, I think the burr is set at 4 or 5. I've found that this combination (4-5 on the burr, 15-16 on the outside grind setting) and grinding for 17 seconds does the best for us to make a double shot on our Barista Pro. Keep in mind, for a double shot you want the extraction yo last between about 22-30 seconds. If you are way off, you need to adjust one of those variables (burr setting, grind setting or grind time). I've also found that switching to other beans requires adjustments. Other beans will grind coarser or finer depending on more or less oils remaining in the beans.
