9Barista, two weeks in

I have had my 9Barista about two weeks, and I think I am getting better at it.

I use single-origin coffee, freshly roasted, and I grind it with a Niche zero, set on number 12.

Like or comment below. I would be interested in your thoughts and suggestions.

Watching that cup fill is so delightful.

Came here for the coffe, noticed the AGA. I am a fitter, based in Canada...lol.

after 3 weeks of owning the 9B - I've enjoyed more espresso than I have drunk in the previous 30 years.
Still not sure if that's a good thing-;)

such a gorgeous machine. Sadly out of my price range I would love to have one of these for my home.

Nice video, I’m planning to get this in the future, so I won’t have the bad feeling of leaving my espresso machine at home if I travel somewhere lol

The niche zero steel thingy that u grind into can actually fit perfectly into a porta filter, so place the porta filter on top and flip it for less mess ;)

Is that a Tias kettle for making Swedish kokekaffe (in the background on the left)? Do you like making Swedish kokekaffe? What is your favorite coffee bean?

Looking forward to a time when I can come and try one of these.

How do you clean it?
Plenty videos online but No one covers the cleaning

Beautiful setup ! What kind of stove is that? I might have to save up for this fantastic brewing device! have you made two pots back to back? How long is the cool down and cleanup?

Your timing perfectly nails what's mentioned in the instruction menu!
You can shorten the time by heating up the group head while grinding and tamping your coffee, if it is consistently about 4 min.

… why sir have you chose not to use the diffuser… ???… i use my wacaco picopresso for travel… however would love to improve my home espresso experience…

I use the same procedure and with the Niche Zero, setting 18. What setting do you use?

This extraction has lots of crema, for some reason I’m not getting crema on my extractions y tried many different coffees and nothing any advice ?

Thanks for posting. What ratio are you getting? It seems that most people end up with ~40g or just over of liquid.

Im having trouble with mine.
I hvae got the total time on the stove within the 3 to 6 min range but extraction is always really fast, like under 15s. I have been grinding the recommended 18g using comondante c40. Recommend range for espresso is 10 to 15. I have tried even as fine as 8, with no effect. I tamp quite hard probably more than 5kg of force. Idk would tamping too hard cause it to extract too quickly?
I going to try 20g @ 14, 6, and maybe even 18 and see if there is much difference, a little extreem but idk, I feel stuck.

I set the niche to 0 mark and the espresso wouldn't appear, instead the top head gasket starts venting water. Dialed back to 13, then it's ok. Still trying out the optimal workflow though
