Thank you so much for the high praise!! Currently I am still getting more accustomed to the machine. After I am confidence with making drinks from it, I will definitely be able to share more videos with confidence.
I’m looking into some higher end prosumer expresso machines but my Breville took a crap on me and it’s out of warranty so Breville sent me a 25% off voucher for any one time purchase so I’m looking at that dual boiler and for that kind of money with the 25% off it’s hard to pass up. How do you like it? Is it exceeding your expectations?
I had a BDB before, but sold it and got an ECM Synchronika. Also amazing machine, but shot for shot, it made no difference. The only feature of the BDB I didn't like is the steam and being no burn. I'll probably get a BDB back again one day.
Thank you for this comment! Great to hear another happy (ex)owner. The HX machine definitely made better milk due to the better steamer, however I don't mind the slower speed of the BDB, it allows a bit more time for adjustment. I really wanna get a HX machine myself one day though.
@@XICups Out of curiosity, why a HX machine? I'm just not a fan of temp searching with HX, although the newer machines are better than what it was a few years back.
Great video! I have a BBE and have a similar issue with losing 9 bar pressure as I'm nearing the end of extraction. Any ideas of how to fix this? Thanks a bunch! Love the new upgraded machine!
Loosing pressure towards the end of the extraction is actually normal, this is how the machine pressure profiles to help with even extraction. If the pressure stays at 9 bars throughout the entire shot, then the shot will get a lot more blonde towards the end (aka under extracted.) So focus more on the ratio and time of your shot plus whether the pressure hits 9 bars after the initial pre-infusion. Hope this helps =]
Though I would also add that the 2nd shot in this video, although turned out better than the first, is still not a great shot, it dropped below 9 too quickly. In this particular case, I added another 0.5g of coffee to the recipe and dialed my grinder to be slightly finer and it did the trick.
@@XICups makes total sense! I'll keep my routine dialed in! Thank you for clarifying all that up! Best of luck with the new toy! Can't wait to see more uploads! Cheers!
@@damianhbk1 I'd like to add why it actually drops. This is because your coffee pucks integrity degrades throughout the shot while at full pressure. Therefore, towards the end of the shot it will be at its weakest and cannot provide enough resistance against the pump to hit 9 bar
@@adaz240 makes a lot of sense. Took a bit to figure that one out. I'm just glad there is nothing wrong with my machine knowing this is normal when pulling shots! Thanks for the input. 👍
Thanks for a nice review. One of the most complete on this machine that I have found. My only observation is that your constant hand waving in front of the camera is a little distracting. Other than that - excellent work!
great video. i already add on my cart gaggia classic and eureka grinder. but i change my mind i rather get dual boiler and use my old 60mm flat burr grinder. Thanks
First of all, sorry about the late response. Secondly I am happy that you found my video to be helpful. I really want to get my hands on a flat burr grinder down the line also
Could you please tell me how long it takes for a complete warmup? Was looking for an E61 group head but 20-30 mins of heating time is not an option for me. Thanks in advance!!!
