Did older models of the barista express have the handle for the steam knob? Or did you add that on afterwards? I like that aesthetic so much more than what I see on Amazon now :(
Excellent video, I just changed to the Barista Pro (after having great milk with the Express) and having a little trouble with consistently steamed milk for latte. Hope to settle in shortly
Is it normal (1) that it makes this "tik, tik, tik..." sound during steaming and is it normal that (2) so much water comes out of the steam wand? I bought the impress recently and am a bit worried about both these things.
I am using Barista Carl's Blend for practice too (same machine as well). However I found out that BCB is a lot more tolerant of steaming mistakes and flows in the cup quite better than milk. I have a much harder time achieving the right consistency with full milk 😐 Is BCB holding me back from getting better at steaming?
How many seconds do you aerate for? I’ve heard 3-6 on the BBE, but I’ve also seen a video of someone doing it for 25 seconds and the milk came out really good for latte art 😩. Send help
Hello! thank you for the video, this is very clear and details. However, i still find it difficult to get the perfect steamed milk. i have tried to follow, but when i tried to pour into my coffee, the foam is all at the end of the pouring and quite thick. What's the mistake here? was it that i do it too fast (less than a min) ? i have learnt the latte art last time, i can make the latte art with the guidance of my teacher, then now i have my own coffee machine (Breville Barista pro), so i wanna practice it again at home. please anybody help me to advice.. thank you in advance!
❤❤❤❤ mükemmel video o kadar çok video izledim ama bu video gibi yardımcı olan olmadı. Baristalar ve anlatanlar püf noktasını göstermiyor. Böyle yap şöyle dursun yok. En İyi anlatan sizsiniz. Mesela 20 saniye gibi öpücük olayını göstermişsiniz. Büyük makinelerde buhar güçlü olduğu için 2 kere kısa süreli öpücük yetiyor. Ama barista express te 20 saniyeden aşağı olmamalı. Videoyu her seyrettiğimde sakin ve odaklanarak öğreniyorum. Çok teşekkür ederim. 🎉❤❤❤❤
nice... maybe now i can finally make a silk milk... my fail and success rate are really broken LOL I mean, i did some nice silk milk already, but not consistent i want to be LOL
I seen a few different 3/4 holes steam heads. Some with close holes like this one, and some with wider spaced holes more outward pointing. Is the foaming technique any different from these and a single hole, or is position and everything else the same?
This video was without question the most informative and best video to help me with my latte art and steaming milk. Thank you very much for making this video.
What if after inserting the wand to the right level and position, turning it on - GENTLY - and then FULL, you get LARGE bubbles breaking the surface - instead of the FINE, DENSE foam you're supposed to get?
@@jakobw135 I'm not :) If theres large bubbles it means the tip of the wand to too far from the milk and not too close try bringing the milkjug a bit up (fully submerge the tip) then slowly adjust by bring the jug down
