Hey, JaD, I followed your instructions with the Gourmia (my first such machine) and, I must admit, it makes a great cappuccino. With where I live, the economics of the area mean that this sort of thing is out of reach of a lot of people, but this machine is affordable and makes great drinks and tastes worlds above anything in a convenience store by leaps and bounds. Your review and supplemental instructions were very much appreciated. Cheers!

Hi, I work at Dutch Bros. You're right, an Americano is espresso with hot water. Our water specifically runs at 190° perminently. For our milk our regular temp runs at 150°-155° and anything past that is extra hot. I really like this machine even though there is some things I can't do, specifically tempature control and being able to set froth once you know how to play with milk is much easier then the dial
@kingdanett4043
10 ай бұрын
Oh also, tips for making your coffee taste like Dutch bros (for iced drinks) Small: 8oz, double shot Medium: 12oz, double shot Large: 16oz, quad shot Our scoops for flavor is 2tsp and most coffees get 1 scoup. Cooling the drink is exceptionally important. We get your drink cool fast by having a cup filled with ice and another cup we build the drink in, once it's done we pour the coffee back and forth and that makes the drink cool super fast. Another thing, try to use half and half if you get a breve, chocolate milk if you get mochas. And we use only Torani brand for our flavors.

For sure! I'm also very impressed by the performance, can't wait to try non-pressurized coffee baskets on this machine next week. And yes, the dial is very confusing, I usually set it at minimum, but I've found you can manually brew 1 or 2 espresso shots and then put a frothing pitcher and press the froth button, and catch enough milk/froth to get the right ratio of coffee to milk and foam, once in the pitcher you can tap and swirl the jug to get a more even consistency and then pour on your espresso cup. The machine surprisingly does achieve some microfoam!

I watched your other video, which saved me from the frothing disaster. I didn't watch this one until I had set up the machine. Yeah, it took a few times pulling the tanks to get it to prime. I guess if I'd watched this one I would have spent less time getting things primed. So far this has been a surprising little machine. I have a Gevi 20 Bar that I have been hand grinding for (Baratza Encore ESP due in very soon) and using a bottomless portafilter. That's still my go-to for nicer beans and getting serious. On that, I do the whole weigh the charge, WDT, leveler, tamp, and do the steaming with a pitcher and the wand. However, this seems like a pretty nice machine for quick cappuccinos for an Americano using ground coffee with the pressurized portafilter. I'll use this for when I want some decent coffee quicker. Which will probably get used more. ;) This machine will make it so I can have a few guests over and give them some "fancy" options without having to work so much. Lol. EDIT to add: Btw, the 51mm bottomless portafilter for my Gevi will fit and work with this. In case anyone is wondering if they can do a little upping their espresso game.

Moat of the drinks taste watered down in my opinion, I use finely ground fresh beans. I use the machine for shots of espresso that I drink straight with a touch of hlf n hlf or add the espresso to coffee. Cheers, not a bad buy for 50 bucks, but I think if you want better results, to go with a more expensive machine.
@TheLarryBrown
8 ай бұрын
Are you tamping the ground coffee? if not that could cause the water to run through it too quickly and get a weak result.
@TheLarryBrown
8 ай бұрын
What are the variables under the control of a more expensive machine that could give a better result? Pressure, time, temperature, design of the filter pod....that's about it. Just a dad measured the temp and it was as desired. This machine is 15 bar pressure. Assuming that's true, it's the same as an expensive machine...15 bar. Time is a question but I'm confident the times on the auto buttons are good, otherwise you could always control the time manually. So then the only thing an expensive machine could do differently is the design of the pod. This pod is the same as used in most any machine, I don't see an expensive machine having a better pod. Conclusion: This machine should do just as well as a $250 machine...but anyway this is not a $50 machine....this is a $150 machine. I think your weak results are coming from some combination of: * not enough ground coffee or too much time/water on the pour * Grind is too fine, * tamping is too hard or not hard enough, * your coffee beans don't taste like what you expect, * the exact same coffee will taste better coming from a $750 machine than it does coming from a $50 machine, let's call that "The expensive Italian machine effect." Purists will complain about a plastic flavor coming from plastic hoses that are absent in an expensive machine, but you aren't complaining about that. You can see in the video that dad got good crema, that's a good indication of good/proper espresso. Are you getting crema as good as shown in the video? If so, I suspect your espresso is coming out good and it's your bias and expectations that are a problem. If not, then you are not getting the same results from this machine that dad is getting, meaning you're doing something wrong. What brand coffee are you using? Who is grinding it and how and when? What type of grinder? How old are those beans? How do you think you have the experience to know how to tamp properly? From where comes the espresso that you think is good? How is that process different than the one used by this machine? My own opinion: Other than the "plastic" issue, this machine should be able to make espresso as good as any expensive machine.

Not recommended to use flavored anything with your coffee equipment. Better to just make plain coffee and then flavor it with a shot of syrup in the cup, as dad did here. That's because those coffee flavorings are very strong, smelly, and cloying and may leave a permanent aroma on your equipment. That said, almond milk, sure that will work but may not foam as well as hoped. Be aware that milk substitutes are sweet and so don't add any sugar until after tasting the final mix, and then go easy on the sugar. Milk substitutes, yes. Coffee creamers, probably not. That's because coffee creamers are designed to only use a small amount per cup of coffee and this foamer will put way more than that. I think that would come out inedible.
