What do you need to do, to make the perfect espresso? Well, you need pressure and heat. Good, freshly roasted beans and a good grind help to generate the needed pressure. Puck prep helps even further. Having a heat stable machine, delivering enough heat to the coffee puck, will help to unlock those lovely espresso flavors and textures.

@TomsCoffeeCorner
@TomsCoffeeCorner Год назад
I find the tamping pressure is not really critical, unless you cannot grind fine enough. I've seen many an Italian barista just super lightly tamp the basket. I think the grind and the bean freshness play the largest role, as well as the dose amount.

Tom I got the ECP3420 and returned it after 20 days it wouldn’t brew coffee it also would brew the coffee not hot at all. I ended up with the Breville Bambino instead. It’s double the price but well worth it. Even though the Bambino has a therma block I got a steel bottomless portafilter and the coffee comes out steaming hot. Statistically speaking the ECP3420 has quality control issues on about 8% of their machines sold on Amazon, mine was one of them.

Hi Tom, thank you for the video. I have noticed, that you started measuring time straight after pressing the start button. I have seen other people recommending waiting till first drops with the timer, which makes a big difference (around 10s sometimes). What do you think?
@TomsCoffeeCorner
@TomsCoffeeCorner Год назад
I start timing when I press the button because that is when the extraction starts. As soon as the water starts hitting the puck, there is an interaction between the media of water and coffee grounds, resulting in pressure.

Question about the bellow attachment for the grinder (I have the same grinder). I single dose with the hopper that came with the grinder and am considering buying the bellow. Is it worth it?

@kyndigvellanti

Something minor that i've noticed with demonstration videos that kind of makes my eye twitch (little OCD), is that most tampers aren't a perfect fit for the portafilter and tend to leave grounds floating on top of the puck after tamping and polishing...then being put directly into the group head. You could see this at 4:45. For my own sanity, just tell me you blew off the excess grounds LOL. Maybe prior to the view after tamping for a more clean look. Other than that, excellent video! I enjoyed seeing this espresso machines workflow.
@technovelodos
@technovelodos Год назад
The issue with tight fitting tampers is it's very easy to cause suction, when removing it after tamping. This results in the coffee around the edge of the basket coming loose, which then leads to channelling down the sides of the basket. IMO, the lesser evil is using a looser fitting tamper and having a few stray grinds left behind (but no channelling). For the OCD coffee nerds, it's fine as these things are noticed and accounted for (slowly removing tamper, etc.) but for the average person, having a looser fitting tamper will likely result in better and more consistent coffee. FYI, "polishing" is anther coffee myth - blind testing has shown that it makes zero difference and has the potential to disrupt the bed - so it only results in less consistent shots.
@kyndigvellanti
@kyndigvellanti Год назад
@@technovelodos I use a lever espresso machine (67' Olympia Cremina), and it's become a habbit to not allow free floating grinds to stand on top of a pressed puck (polishing becomes important and not just visually pleasing) as the piston can actually suck them up into the group head making the water muddy as fine coffee particulates can stay behind the shower screen after blooming from the hot water (byproduct of Fellini technique for pre-infusion or just slowly raising the lever in general). Having to do a longer flush to clear the water gets in the way of the workflow vs the time it takes to just blow off the excess grinds into the knockbox. Since this is neither a lever machine or using the aforementioned technique being pump driven, it really has nothing to do with the price of tea in China. In my prior comment, it was more about presentation, akin to wiping your feet off before you enter the house. Regardless of perceived practicality, it's just good manners.

@juribe2011
@juribe2011 7 месяцев назад
Hi Tom, It’s amazing how many different theories out there regarding this “issue” Are any of them valid? For example: “Crema made up of a few, large bubbles indicates a coffee that has been brewed too quickly and is probably thin-bodied.” and this….. “Crema The CO2 gasses that the coffee produces can affect this. If the beans were roasted too recently, the gasses will cause a lot of bubbles or a quick dissipation of the crema. Allow beans to settle and de-gas for a few days and try again.” The underlying assumption is that bubbles in crema is a bad thing. Thank you for your opinion.
