3 Steps for Better Breville Espresso

You CAN get great shots with an entry-level Breville espresso machine. Don't upgrade before you've tried these tips.

ITEMS MENTIONED:

➡️  IMS Precision Baskets:

➡️  Puck Screen:

➡️ Espresso Grinders:

➡️  Naked Portafilter
I also highly recommend getting a naked portafilter for your Breville machine. It will enable you to troubleshoot extraction issues and if more fun to use.

If You want to use Bambino plus for light-medium roast beans you should pre-heating machine with 2 blank shots using single dose pressure basket. I saw this tip on Reddit and it's great.

I couldn’t agree with you more about puck screens… all videos i have seen says it doesn’t do much when indeed it is a major necessity for home machines to get a good puck at the end and most definitely a constant extraction from your coffee…

Thanks Asser! I wondered why the shots on my Infuser seemed to either choke or channel outside a pretty narrow range of grind size. I’ll give a precision basket a try. 🤞🏻

This is so helpful! I'm brand new to this and your way of presenting the information is easier to digest than a lot of the videos I've watched over the past week. You speak in general enough terms while also being specific about what you mean and what we should try, without becoming overwhelming. I also love that your equipment suggestions are links to cost effective options, not the everything-top-of-the-line suggestions I've seen from other experts.

bit shocked to see the breville doing that at the begining. have had my for quite a few years and didnt ever see that happen. All my issues were resolved when I got a very good level/ tamper. everything has been stock and I have had great results. But have loved by Breville. Now ready for an upgrade from the Breville

Just got an express today, and had the worst coffee ever😂 so hopefully some practice and tips will improve this over time.

You can easily unscrew the brewing head to clean it, works fantastic, philips screwdriver. Even with regular cleaning it can get super clogged on the inside!

I think these are the exact tips I need, but I use a oracle touch, which of course is different to the machines in this video

Blooming shots work great on the bambino (non plus) since the 3-way-valve is not active.

God video som altid! Fedt med lidt baggrundsmusik

What do you think of precision portafilters, they really make such a big difference compared to the standard portafilters of the Breville

[alias]

That glass you poured the shot into at the end looks fantastic!! Can I ask for a link please?

[alldayjack]

Other than the attached grinder, is there a major difference between the bambino plus and the other breville? Also, do either of those machines produce a “dry” puck, and should it?
I’m not sure which machine to buy.

[johnkrneta]

Please can you tell me if buying the J-ULTRA MANUAL COFFEE GRINDER would be a good option purely for making espresso with the Bambino Plus? Do you prefer the manual grinders for espresso? Thank you

[צביקיהירש]

Thanks!
What about temperature? How do you brew different roasting levels with no option to change temperature?
And do you preheat the portafilter? How?

[ViieeS]

What do you think about the basket that ships with normcore 54mm bottomless portafilter?
Do you consider the Baratza Encore ESP a good coffee grinder?

[pLaNbAKeR]

Why do you like the bigger basket if you typically use 15 grams?
