This is the best and most precise explanation of the difference between sour & bitter I’ve yet to come across. That 28 seconds alone (5:18 - 5:46) is worth a significant pay raise from the boss man.

Top tips. AND I would personally add the number one tip: cleaning your gear. If your coffee taste is getting worse over time then you’re missing out on cleaning your coffee machine and grinder. So: - clean your grinder regularly - clean your portafilter - clean your brewgroup - use a waterfilter if necessary

@oseasviewer7108 Месяц назад

Excellent video - as a strictly espresso (never milk or sugar) drinker sometimes a lungo sometimes a standard, I have never had a consistent coffee with crema - flavour has always been 'bright' or in my flavour expression sour and on occasion burnt or woody - now I know why: - grind, bean freshness and/or arabica blend, water temperature. If I could sit near the barista watching the extraction I would glean the fact that 90% of them in cafes don't know how to make a good espresso - their mistakes well hidden in milky coffees which the majority prefer and cannot discern when they drown their beverage in sugar. Thank you for a very instructive, constructive, clearly explained tutorial

Thank you for your thorough, detailed, and also simple explanation for troubleshooting espresso, as well as the why’s behind why things are so important to pay attention to! I’ve been a barista for well over a decade and have been on the hunt for well-encompassing videos that really cover all areas of learning your espresso, as well as keeping it detailed but simple. I was relieved to find your video, as you did a PERFECT job covering the things I want to convey to my fellow newbie baristas!!! Thank you so much, please keep it up!

So I just got a Gaggia Classic Pro. I love it. But I have a Gaggia MD15 grinder. It does not grind fine enough. I am ordering the shims. Until those arrive, I have to use more coffee to get the right flow rate. All of these espresso videos from Whole Latte Love, Lance Hedrick and others have been very helpful. Thanks much.

@Wholelattelovepage 6 месяцев назад

Hey ss, Thanks for sharing your GCP love! We do not carry the MD15 as it's right on the edge for espresso grinding. Upping the coffee dose until you can get a finer grind is the way to go.

@mrx-in4xh 2 года назад

Great video AJ. I like the systematic way you go through each variable, best video I saw on this topic. Few years ago I installed a PID in my Silvia and it was a game changer in terms of adding consistency to the process. I also kept detailed note book listing all variables, such as grind size, timing, etc etc for the various coffees I use. This might seem over the top for some folks, but it's fun to me, and now I can diagnose issues pretty quickly when I'm trying a new coffee bean. And coffee bean is the one thing that will constantly change, no two bags of coffee are ever the same. Cheers.

@Wholelattelovepage 2 года назад

With the level some people go to, that doesn't seem over the top at all. It actually sounds like a nice way of tracking your process and preferences. True that no two bags will be identical, but at least now you can reference your past experiences and get in the ballpark. AJ

@spencerstarr4131 2 года назад

Great video AJ. Very thorough. Could you and/or Mark revisit some flow control topics in the future? Loving my Synchronika with FC, but I notice some odd extractions at times-e.g. sometimes the 1/4-1/2 extraction will run faster than a regular 1 1/4 with preinfusion. Seems counterintuitive to me…

@Wholelattelovepage 2 года назад

Hey Spencer, there will be more flow control videos coming eventually. I will say though that shot timing kind of goes out the window when flow profiling. Your example does sound counterintuitive, but I've experienced it myself before as well. The best explanation I've heard is that the low flow gently and evenly saturates the puck, allowing for degassing and expansion of the grounds in a more natural way. Full flow/pressure right out of the gate, especially on a rotary pump machine that ramps up quickly (pretend you didn't do a pre-infusion), can force fines to the bottom and almost "clog" the holes in your basket. The abrupt pressure could also be "re-tamping" your espresso and compacting it further, slowing the flow through the puck. AJ
