Brewing an espresso with light roasted beans using an Olympia Cremina 

Thank you very much for your kind words. I have just tried to make a video that could really shed some light around light roasts extraction

Thank you mate 🤗❤️

Thanx! The screen should be 49.5, it is the one sold by bplus.biz like "premillenium size"

Please post this question on lever fever FB group, I can't post the pic in here

It is common when using light roasted beans that have a very delicate taste. However, the basket used is the Strietman /ims 18gr precision basket

Please check out my article about Cremina mods at www.thelevermag.com

The Olympia Cremina is an awesome machine. With the Pressure Profiling Kit, you have full control on the pre-infusion pressure and time and the pressure you pull your shots to with the profile you desire. You can even add a bluetooth Smart Profiler and with a compatible bluetooth Scale (i.e. an Acaia Lunar) you have full control and can record all your shots. And when you pull a great shot it feels great. It's footprint compared to many other prosumer machines is small which is ideal for home kitchens. And the quality of build (especially with the new ones) is amazing. I bought a new 2021 model late last year (after 6 months of researching and deciding what Espresso machine I would buy and watching the two James Hoffman's RU-vid videos on the Cremina and SMART Pressure Profiler) that finally decided it for me) and I love mine. James Hoffman's video on the Cremina is spot on.

Interesting point. What output volume would you expect for a long?

​@@claudiolevermag I am looking for a 1:3 ratio at least. Maybe 1:4 if that is possible at all. Currently working on a La Pavoni Professional (14-14.5 gms in) , although I would think a similar method could be used on yours?

@@ablissfuldecline sure, first thing make sure you have properly adjusted the piston throw for best output. I suggest you to join this my group : facebook.com/groups/LaPavoniLeverOwners/?ref=share_group_link or this facebook.com/groups/LeverFever/?ref=share_group_link

@@claudiolevermag Okay certainly. Thank you

@@ablissfuldecline you bet I will take a video about a lungo
