Freshly roasted beans, a non-pressurized portafilter and DeLonghi Dedica is all that you need to become a coffee nerd economically 🙂

Thank you for pointing me in the right direction

Pretty weird situation. I don’t like coffee but want to surprise someone with a machine as a birthday gift. As a swiss, i really dislike nestlé and as an engineer, i like the ability to tinker around with the coffee

[MrRickytuk]

I normally use Illy Coffee beans as they are decent quality, much cheaper than fresh roasted and most importantly they grind consistently from tin to tin. Coffee roasters could give us a good idea of grind setting for espresso by using Illy classic as a benchmark i.e. go 10% finer or coarser than you would with Illy classic to get into the right range first time.

Get the sage touch Impress, it's not cheap, but it's fantastic!, so convenient, great coffee, I'd be lost without it now 😂😂😂

Kev i love how you have the much better portafilter Part 1919 on the Bambino and absolutely agree.. this machine should have come with this portafilter considering the cost of the machine. The basic one is just too cheap and plasticky... Surprised you didnt put on that 4 hole tip over the 1 hole on the steam wand.. just the cleaning alone of the 4 hole tip over the single hole makes it a much better experience.

I'm the "aluminum" kind of coffee drinker 😅...and would like to transition to more espresso-type beverages, without milk...I also prefer grinding store-bought beans right before use. I've been contemplating buying the Breville Barista Express (the original)...it's affordable mainly, and I live alone(not not much "coffee traffic" in my household). Would all of you recommend I go ahead and make the purchase? Thanks!

[teaurn]

Ah yes, Kev, 'upgradeitis' - can be very expensive to treat, as I found out last year!

Hey Kev, thanks so much for this detailed video. One question - you had the Opal Pod Machine in your line-up - what are your thoughts on it? I'm looking for a pod machine to replace my Nespresso Vertuo that delivers a good quality cup and see this one coming up a fair bit. Would you say it's on par with the Grind Pod machine? Cheers.

Hey Kev, can you review the Ariete 1313 bean to cup? Know anything about the brand? I believe they are owned by De'longhi but still go by the separate name?

[alanwainwright]

Nice video Kev. Check your typo at 1..53 Sorry I can’t help myself!!

[alancross]

Does anyone recommend a single dose hopper for Sage Barista Pro induction if so which one please?

[MagoMakes]

I leave more confused than when I walked in....

[JoEpunkt]

Hello Kev, as you seem „expert“ in sage/breville machines, I have a question (maybe an idea for a video). I cannot choose btw the barista touch and the oracle touch, and there is one detail I am unsure about: puck prep! Does the oracle provide a better puck because of the tamper fan (and the better distribution with it) or doesn‘t it matter? THX!!

[iris]

We got a sage touch press and we just can't get a good strong long black out of it. Should we just get a nespresso small machine for that or are we doing something wrong!!!

[mfsj]

Hi Kev,
What do you think of the Profitec Go espresso machine ?? I'm thinking of getting one!!

[chyphilip]

After watching this video and I still haven’t got any specific machine recommendations at all

[LaVieBoheme]

Definitely didn’t need to hear the word “milkies” at all but here you get it in droves

[nicholasmartin]

What language is he speaking? I just want a machine that makes an Americano from beans.

[Tusfpbx]

I have a Dedica. What is the best dial-in portafilter?
