Excellent video. Appreciate the comparison, much more info gathered than what was in the title!

[Mr.Giterdone]

Beauty! Answered the exact thing I was looking for! Thank you

[sejlrice]

Thanks, and this was very helpful. I'm going to pick up the distributor, but can you tell me what kind of coffee scoop you are using? I love the shape.

[AlexRJDagger]

Can you reshare the distribution tools please

[marjusfieral]

Hello, Thanks for sharing this info. Could you please let me know which is the best grinder set adjustment for the inner burr and the grinder set for new sage barista express machine. Thanks

[BillyBlakeington]

Where can i get those espresso glasses with the houndstooth print

[haroldskelton]

Thanks for making this helpful video my friend! One thing I don't understand though. You carefully weigh out 18 grams of coffee, then distribute and tamp it. However after that, you scrape a random amount of coffee off the top using the scraper. So I'm wondering why you bother to weight out the coffee. Aren't you really dosing by volume (using the scraper) and not by weight?

I’m new to this as well. I just ordered a 5lb bag of fresh roasted medium roasted coffee. What is your inner burr setting? Is that dependent on the bean/roast? I’ve had better luck with the dual wall, but it’s too fast of an extraction. Being too fast, I understand to go finer in the grind. But I’m also using lavazza preground espresso coffee. My new beans (soon to arrive) are from Black Rifle Coffee; the AK47 roast.

[gotbjoking]

Was this the latest model with the down rated 9 bar pump and seemingly unmatched pressure gauge? Or the older 2020/21 model with the 15 Bar pump. I ask because I have the former and I can only get the gauge to move into the espresso range if I use the dual basket. So the amateur basket! The single filter struggles to get off the floor. Would love to know?

[henryyoner]

Why would you weigh the shot when you use the razor and scrap off approx. 1 gram

[liusvanishernandez]

What is your grind setting? I have a breville pro

[ddiesel]

should the grind settings for the Pressurized and non pressurized baskets be the same?
or should the grind for the pressurized be much coarser?

[normanmunns]

I'm using a 51mm non pressurised basket and filling with fresh ground coffee beans
I use a wdt tool, then a a decent sprung loaded tamper, making sure its tamped at 90°.
I tried at least 4 times pulling a shot and every time it sprays sprays out from all directions with no crema.
Cant understand where I am going wrong.
I have watched at least 4 diffetent youtube preceedures and have followed them rigidly.
I've now reverted back to a pressurised basket and given up.

[gurpreetsingh]

Which brand of coffee beans did you use?

[patelnirajkumar]

I don't get 12 O'Clock pressure, I have setting 5 grinding and I get about 10 o'clock pressure. what am I doing wrong? Plus the difference between single and double filter size button that is pressure clock dial, what is that for? I set it to double and I am getting nicer coffee, and when I set single I get bitter tasting coffee.

[barbraune]

Why you throw the best coffe in the world into the bin? how much gram u put in? Wich Ratio?

[gonzaloalvarez]

Hi, you had one thing wrong with de presurized basquet, theres a little nob that should come with it, to disperse coffe evenly through both holes. When I dont put it on, it extracts exactly the same as on the video... messy

[perseus]

Lowering the volume of the background music would help at times, imho. Cheers

[tracteratos]

if you are weighing the dose, why use the razor?
