Beginners Guide: First Cup of Coffee - Breville Barista Max and other Espresso Machines

How do you make your first cup of coffee with your new Breville Barista espresso machine. I have made a beginners guide for you here. The espresso machine I have used here is the Breville Barista Max, and it is pretty much same system with lots of other espresso machines from Breville and Sage.
I hope the video is helpful!

what settings you recomend to grind the coffee? MEdium? Fast?

[@AlmostNordic-bk4rf]

I just have it around medium. With the beans I use I don't see the big difference between medium and slow. But when I did fast it was like it had a significant negative impact on the taste. So I go with medium!

@@AlmostNordic-bk4rf thanks Happy Medium is always best

I strongly recommend adding water or milk after the espresso shot has finished pouring instead of letting the shot run for so long, and you should time your shot so that it is stopping at around 25-34 seconds roughly. If you let the shot keep running for the time you did which was about a minute and a half it's going to introduce not-so-great qualities to your coffee. All espresso shots should never pour for longer than a minute because that means it's over-extracting. Just a suggestion :)

Det er altså ikke en sage :) ked af at sige det. Alle steder siger de at det ikke er samme maskine. Anyways ser power lige nu har den til 3000. Hvilket vel er ok deal. Hvordan med kalk? Skidtet skal vel også afkalkes!? Vi har ekstremt hårdt vand her hvor jeg bor. Og har smadret en delonghi på lige lidt over 2 år.
