9Barista Espresso Maker
Показать описание
The 9barista Espresso Maker is one of the smallest devices that brews true Espresso. I went for it instead of the lever machines for its size and seemingly easier workflow. After some months of use, I am quite satisfied with the results, although it took more trial-and-error than I originally expected.

My final setup is 18g-20g of coffee and 9-10 clicks on the Comandante grinder. Lower doses may work but less easy to dial-in.
The most tricky bit is the heat (with an induction stove). My current process: start with medium-high heat until gentle bubbling, then drop to medium for the rest. The first stage needs to be hot enough to keep the bubbling within 5 min. The heat setting at the second stage affects the brew time.
Some early pitfalls:
- Constant medium-high heat: the shot would be done in about 1 min after the first bubbling (3 min total time), brew too quick, usually too acidic as Espresso, but fine for diluted drinks.
- Constant medium-low heat: the bubbling stage would go way beyond 5 min, and at 7-8 min it is unclear how long it would still take. The brew may never happen before the upper chamber dries.
