I love that gauge 🤩
I think if you grinde your coffee finer it will get a better result

[@bryan_roam]

Thanks a bunch! 🤩 I'm glad you love the gauge! Spot on about grinding finer-it's a game-changer for sure. ☕😊

Great job on the video, keep going at it! I hear it's great to upgrade the basket and people go to 70ml of coffee with 18grams of coffee. I use it as you did an find the coffee to be quite good. However, I'm not dying for espresso but I absolutely looove long black so I add 80-100ml of water to that 36mls of coffee and it's delicious. Also, I like to use a light-roasted coffee so I don't get the crema.

Thank you so much for your encouraging words! I'm glad to hear you enjoyed the video. It's fascinating how people customize their coffee experience, and I appreciate you sharing your approach. For the basket, I haven't considered changing it yet, as it has consistently delivered great results for me. By the way, I'm always open to experimenting with new techniques, so I might just experiment with your suggestions. Thanks again for sharing your insights, and happy brewing!

I have the pico and the Lagom mini grinder too! can i ask where you got the pump for the grinder? as you know from experience, retention is a minor issue with the Lagom, every now a then a gram is left in the pipe. I'm still debating on the guage. Do you know a reference that list the types of profiles that are out there? Something like a database of Decent profiles would be a great learning reference.

[@bryan_roam]

Hey there! Great to hear you have the Picopresso and Lagom mini grinder combo too! For the bellow, I got it from www.taobao.com(chinese ebay), and it works like a charm. As for profiles, a comprehensive database is a fantastic idea! I recommend checking out www.home-barista.com/ where coffee enthusiasts often share and discuss various profiles. It's a valuable resource for learning and experimenting with different setups. If you have any more questions or want to share your experiences, feel free to chat more about it! ☕👍

Thanks for the video! Have you ever looked into upgrading the basket? I haven’t yet and have been doing some research and wondered if you had any thoughts?

[@bryan_roam]

Upgrading to a high-end basket, such as an IMS basket, always results in a better cup of espresso. However, I would prefer adding a puck screen as well; it's a cost-effective upgrade with significant benefits. The puck screen helps distribute water evenly, reduces the chance of channeling, and slows down extraction time, allowing us to grind coarser.

[@Shreybz]

Thanks so much. Will order the IMS la pavoni and screen then now… thanks for the help!

Practicing is more important than the gauge, I do pump a better espresso with creme without using the gauge. Also, when traveling, the gauge is a burden.

[@rhamaprasetya]

That leaking?

[@HieuTrung-ft8ft]

Can i wash the gauge, it is waterproof ? Ty

[@bryan_roam]

I will wash the chamber that the coffee went through; however, I will not wash the gauge. For the gauge, just use a wet towel and wipe it clean.

[@JPC326]

What is that nice diamond dosing cup ?

Pareceu sem controle ainda... melhor uma flair pra isso

[@bryan_roam]

Appreciate the suggestion! Funny thing is, I haven't had a chance to try flair yet, but your comment has me intrigued. I'll definitely give it a shot and see how it goes. Thanks for watching my videos and leaving a comment 🤹‍♂️☕️
Agradeço a sugestão! A engraçada situação é que ainda não tive a chance de experimentar flair, mas seu comentário me deixou intrigado. Com certeza, vou tentar e ver como fica. Obrigado por assistir aos meus vídeos e deixar um comentário! 🤹‍♂️☕️

The pico was meant for travel. All those silly accessories are absolutely unncessary. Especially when at home and theres an e61 machine.

[@bryan_roam]

agreed, pico is not made for home but for someone who is on a budget pico will be one of their starting point

[@techtravelpanda]

Too chaotic and no control. I think the gauge is too expensive. Good vid! Thank you!

[@bryan_roam]

Thank you for watching and sharing your thoughts! I appreciate your feedback. Happy brewing!"

[@mechanicalmonk2020]
