Barista Express

I did almost like you did for my first setup I got a Breville Infuser and Baratza Encore ESP pro. Reason why I got the Infuser over BBP (Breville Bambino Plus) is because I wanted the expresso machine with PID controller for brewing temperature control so I could dial in all kinds of roast and it’s

I was espresso making nerd mode for a few days hahaha. Thought about many things… When you choose high-end machines, it’s about… How serious you want to be since you will spend a lot of money. If you want to be serious like nerd then Decent will be the machine since you can change brew temperature d

Se não eles não precisam de um hobby novo, ou não estão para merdas e só querem um café, alguma bean to cup delonghi por 300 euros. Caso contrário, breville bambino plus e um DF54. Vai dar trabalho e vão ter que querer aprender mas podem fazer café de outro mundo. E também vão acabar por gastar mais

The BBE does have adjustable PID so that could be a factor. Try pulling a couple blank shots first to warm everything up, one might not be enough. Temp stability was an issue for me when I rushed shots in the morning on my old Breville infuser, and the shots did come out more dull/flat on the same b

But what about temperature stability? You get 3s warm up, but then portafilter and grouphead is cold. So all the warm water cools down before it extracts the coffee. That's main reason I didn't want thermocoil based machines. (They tend to use lot's of plastics to avoid cold metal issues).I don't th

Sounds like you noticed an improvement on the cup quality which is what I'm looking for. I'm working with a Breville Barista Express but not trying to break the bank while I look for machine that checks the boxes. I would like something with flow control but its good that there's an add on mod I can

Are you steaming milk? If so, as the BBE is a single boiler thermoblock system, you might find, like most of those type, the boiler has to super heat for steam and it can take up to 15 minutes apparently for these machines to get back to brew temperature. Your water is too hot to brew. If that is th

Here is my experience. When I had Breville barista express impress. Back to back shots are hard. Still I was managing to have decent shots (such as warmup machine for 20min, warm portafilter and manual mode to extract:pre-infusion). I decided to upgrade my BBE impress to HX e61 machine. I already sa

Fwiw- I have a breville barista express. Bought it as a solid starter machine to test if I would really make lattes for my wife and me every day. By the end of the first month I realized I need a double boiler. I pull two consecutive double shots for us, and when I go steam the milk the machine some

Surely by now you've put a smart plug on it and had it switch itself on 15 minutes before you get to the machine.😅😅😅 I'm using a Sage/Breville Barista Express for a few weeks while my Meraki has gone back to base for a steam wand fault, but I truly miss the fact it had a program to switch itself on
