The Espresso Guide For Beginners 

I love his vids :)

It just like some toys for us😂🤣

Now you will appreciate the right way!

I’m looking at buying a home unit for making commercial grade (or as near as) code for my home bar. I’ve already bought a Heineken Blade draft beer system which is as good as it gets short of installing pumps and coolers etc., so begins my quest for a coffee alternative rather than “just put the kettle on”. I’ve been looking at the likes if Gaggia’s Classic or a bean-to-cup alternative like their Anima. The only problem with the latter is the lack of variation compared to grinding, tapping and general experimenting. I’m not wanting to spend hundreds and hundreds and have even considered buying used (there’s always people out there bought these units thinking they’d be making Costa & Starbucks at home and failed.

@@markinson72 If you want to experiment, look into a Flair Pro 2 manual press and a precision hand grinder. Less money and more control than entry models like Gaggia or Rancillio. Once you get a good understanding not what you want, you can go to a 1k+ machines with PID and flow control. But if you just dont want the hassle, Breville combo machine produces good results.

Yeah sucks when you think you are going to watch a video from a guy you like, only to find out its a infomercial.

ye, but its not the finest art. for example in germany you would be taken down, if you didnt mark this video as sponsored.

You can tell he didn't learn from Linus Tech Tips

You've never watched Wendover Productions or HAI then

This is smooth?!

Mee too lol

I got a Japanese anime cartoon thing :S

@Michael 👀 A _small_ token of apology, I suppose.

ooooh nestle owns Nespresso? That's why it's called Nespresso...

CheesyQuokka YT Yeah corporations tend to be vain like that.

did you happen to work at Blue Bottle? I used to work there and we did the same thing - dialing in every day for our espressos and drip coffees depending on how many days post-roast we were

I want this quote on my shirt.

More espresso cookie

"I'm still depressed but now I'm fast"😂

Anna Taute though preheating is recommenced, having the espresso as hot as possible is not a good thing. Beyond a certain temperature (I think 94 degree C) the coffee grains will burn and the result will be very unpleasant. Preheating is good because if the portafilter is cold the hot water being pumped will immediately lose a lot of its heat to the cold metal

Their new model the barista pro has a much better heating element I hear.

this is for home units and commercial espresso machines not just the brevile

Thank you im going to try this on my cheap machine

Having the portafilter hot before a shot is a MUST. Game changer when i figured that out

easily solved by obtaining more espresso

@@AronBagel I always say, I drink espresso to cope with being depresso

lxn espresso no depresso

Probably shouldn't drink high caffeinated drinks if they make you depressed.

@@ManginaHole I mean that espresso takes away depression because it gives me dopamine

Hey, thanks! You just saved me from a sad mistake.

😂

Now who’s gonna teach him how to say “origin”?

I'm gonna get depresso if ppl call it expresso

Its correct in french to say expresso so i dont think its that bad to szy it

Get a better job

@@ordinaryopinion4081 Why would you say that to someone? I am a coffee lover and would enjoy the atmosphere and people.

I'm looking into becoming a barista but I know nothing about coffee (just looking for a regular job, not like a career) and I'd like to know if there's some advice you could give me before I get a job as a barista?

Thanks for sharing your insights as a barista! It's great to hear that the video aligns with your expert knowledge and experience. Keep up the great work at your busy cafe!

SAME IVE BEEN LOOKING FOR BABISH COMMENTS

@@sigh.sy.s lol me too

Amen to that! 👍🏻 I just had one look at that tamping...I just thought: "🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️, whatever..."

2 years now 😢

he even built that machine himself. He's amazing

Been thinking of getting a bambino

same.

Me too lol I got a Gevi any luck on good videos?

@@mollyobrien8531 i just got a breville infuser. i enjoyed artisti coffee roaster channel. the video i saw was “in your espresso machine which portafilter basket should you use?”

@@amandan3386 thank you so much 😊 I’m excited to try different things with it, I just got my latte syrup and ground blonde espresso from Starbucks ☕️

This won't fix a coarse grind

lol yeah

Yes

Omg yes....

It was fine for any beginner.

He makes videos for coffee professionals and amateur coffee enthusiasts. This is for complete beginners. As soon as we start talking brew ratios and ext% things get dicey

Look up some La Pavoni shots. Swear its like porn

Watch Brothers Green. They do a lot of that.

check out struggle meals from tastemade! there're a lot of meals for under $2 dollars per plate!

try egg everyday

Try photosynthesis

Something with potatoes and cabbage works well when you’re on a budget! Cabbage works well with a lot of Japanese recipes ☺️

I have a lot of favorite coffee, espressos but no money for food, I am a normal person in Bangladesh.

Lisa Boban It is the perfect beginner Machine because it eliminates the need to also buy a 200 dollar grinder, comes with everything in one pack. Perfect, but not the only option. :)

Espresso is an expensive hobby, that's just the truth, because it's so concentrated every variable matters, so you need a quality machine and good technique

@@YaamFel I agree with you so much. After a year of buying so many types of beans, investing in a manual burr grinder and in a Bialetti Brikka I came to the conclusion that it's not enough if you're serious and now I'm considering buying a good machine so I can really play with the extraction and make good latte art. It's not a cheap hobby by any means, but it's worth it.

@@JoshuaWeissman not everyone has 600 dollars just lying around for a fancy coffee machine

Lido E + Flair Signature Pro can get you some mind blowing shots for less than $600

Kinda miss voting daily, then switching off WiFi and voting again using my data connection, then switching to my wife's phone's data, then again when I go to work... Did I mention I really want you to win? Why? Because your approach to cooking is refreshing and your style is entertaining. My whole family (wife and 5 kids ranging from 2-18) enjoy when I put your new videos on the chrome cast... My point? I want you to succeed and I think everybody else does too. Keep up the great work. -Some fans in Iowa.

James Middleton I love you guys. Sososo appreciate this sweet message James. Thank you guys for being so supportive of my work! ❤️

Thanks for sharing your experience! It's always great to hear from someone who has firsthand experience with a product. I'll definitely keep your tips in mind if I decide to get the Breville. And thanks for the recommendation on the Traders Joes espresso, I'll have to give it a try!

👌

I dont know what you mean. Never been to a Dutch coffeeshop outside of America, although I did go to a shop called Caffè paradiso and it had some fowl espresso almost like motor oil. It claimed to be dutch

ze Dutch coffee shops sell weed dude

@@AbaddonAtTheGate oh haha. I guess that's why the coffee wasn't too good

🤣 save some money if she asks you for specialty coffee> would love to help with that: Vibrantry.com/collections/25-percent-off

Perfect machine for home :) had the Express, upgraded to the dual boiler but it's not worth it, the express is perfect

We have a Jura machine, it’s is so nice, my whole 8 ppl family uses it

That's the most back-handed compliment I've ever heard.

We 😊😊😊

But at least he's better than those expresso guys, right?

If you really feel a passion for coffee I would recommend watching Chris Baca and James Hoffman on RU-vid. They are two of the most knowledge people on RU-vid about serious coffee topics

Did you survive?

Uriah Siner thanks my man 🤙🏽

Dude is OBSESSED.

Allison Parks it’s his profession

James Hoffman preaches from the Coffee Bible, his followers dedicate their lives to making the ultimate coffee, his vids will not inspire newbs. On the other hand, Joshua (in this vid) is opening up the chance for newbs to consistently experience great coffee & his advice is solid. I can safely say that because I've done the rounds Nespresso swill, through to semi-commercial Italian coffee machines, & am now settled with a Breville Oracle. Josh's advice about sourcing beans from the best roasters goes a long way to coffee nirvana. Weighing each brew batch (I highly recommend the Brewista Smart scale 2) & adding them to an empty bean hopper for grinding also adds to freshness & consistency. The thing to note is that with a coffee machine that's easy to use, will pay for itself in no time because you'll actually use it. In our case, my wife & I only have the 1 coffee a day & our AU$2000 Oracle paid for itself in way less than a year going by coffee shop cappas costing $4 each ($8x365 days=AU$2920). Woah!!! Something which Joshua didn't elaborate on was the ease & quality of the milk micro-foaming with his upper-level Breville. My wife suffered my slow learning curve of making the perfect cappa, can now knock them out without me holding her hand. Follow Joshua's advice & you will enjoy magnificent coffees with a clear conscience, in that you haven't shelved elaborate but quirky ego machines.

@@CNile-se9xw Very well said

You can also just whack the portafilter on the counter a few times....

My thoughts exactly . Glad to see non coffee pros make decently accurate videos on coffee

Ya boi has a TikTok?! Oh hell yeah!

A lot of delonghis only come with pressurized baskets. Easy to check as they’ll be the ones with only one hole to let the coffee out. Those are made so the grind is not as important (you can even use preground coffee) and it’s easier to pull a consistent shot with some crema but the flip side is you won’t get a nice espresso like at a proper cafe. He didn’t cover it in the video but worth noting!

Elijah Brackeen who isn’t in love with babish

If you can grind up beans fresh and let them steep for a few minutes, that really makes a difference. Don't grind the coffee too fine, though, or it'll slip through the mesh and end up in your cup.

@@MCVessels yea only have a blade grinder, so I have to be careful with the last sip, unless I want a surprise. 😅

THANATOS IXU me at Starbucks working

That unfortunate to hear. A nice local cafe should have passionate owners who share their love of coffee with the baristas

Adam It’s often not the people who work there, but the people who seem to be entitled to their coffee.

@@atombriones1805 I good cafe should also harbor a positive customer base although this is much harder to control you are right

@@myaq6457 Its ok most Starbucks "baristas" dont like coffee and dont know anything about coffe. How do I know? Because they never clean the steam wand after every use and it leaves this eggy nasty spoiled milk after taste.
