It’s been great watching your progress, I started at a similar time to you and my latte art has not progressed, very jealous! Good work and another great video!

And yes, when you have a bigger milk jug, you have more time to steam it. Go for it! :)

In coffee shops always only espresso! At home espresso, only when the coffee beans are good :D And when I have a grinder :D

My favourite drink and like only almost is espresso. I love milk, however, when I get a coffee with milk it feels funny in the stomach, so I just have them separately. I am all manual, car, grinder, also tamping. A tip to get it even is to set your thumb and pointing finger around the edge of the tamper, this would allow you to see if it’s even easier, and to ensure the sides are that way too at the end twist it and see if there is still an unevenness.

That latte mug looks neat. My drink of choice has been a latte with an extra shot although I'm beginning to switch to an espresso. Very much liking you choice of background music too.

Good luck!

Excellent heart! Love it!

That is way better texture 👌👏

That shot looked nice. The grinder I'm planning to get when I can afford it is the Rancilio Rocky, I'll probably go for a refurbished one, but it will be a while yet.

It's a cat

Nice job on the new coffee. Currently I own a timemore c3 esp and if I were to upgrade it, i’d get a Eureka Baby. I prefer manual grinders. Easier to carry, to clean, less likely to break, puts more personality in my coffees and most of all, cheaper. Can’t see myself spending hundreds of dollars for a grinder.

I am a newbie and my no means can give anyone advice. But i do find that getting a rounded, wider cup helps a lot with the pour. And maybe don't let that milk sit for too long. I find that the window of opportunity is really short.

Great video!

Last thing, I’m stuck with a “14-18g” IMS basket at present, but with a puck screen, 15g is pretty much the most I can use. I’m still waiting on my Bookoo scale to arrive, so I’m eyeballing my shots. They’re coming out well at present, but it’s probably luck! I do see quite a bit of channeling on this shot. I would suggest at the end of your WDT process, to lightly swirl around the whole surface of the portafilter (at surface to about 1/2 depth), to end up with the surface as smooth and even as possible.

Glad I found your videos! I’m pretty much in exactly your position. I very recently bought my first espresso machine, a Lelit Anna 2. I bought all the little things (WDT, spring tamper, tiny spray bottle/bean weighing container, etc), and have gotten my espresso decently repeatable. I’m likewise learning/struggling with milk steaming and latte art! I prefer straight espresso, but I’m learning for my wife’s sake. It seems the Gaggia might have a little more steam power. Anyway, I don’t have any advice for you, since steaming is difficult and I think you’re probably a little farther along. I wish I drank lattes, because I have no idea when I’m done whether it’s good or not! The ratio of milk to coffee seems pretty important. I would suggest getting a cooking thermometer to help you tell when your milk is hot enough. Anyway, I appreciate your struggles. Keep it up! It encourages me to do the same.

But how did it *taste*?

where can I get that mat under your espresso machine?

☕ Thanks for watching Day 16 of my Road to Home Barista! Today, I brewed light roasted beans from Costa Rica, and I’m loving the flavors. What grinder do you use in your setup? And if you could upgrade, what’s your dream grinder? Also, do you prefer this tighter filming angle or the wide angle from my previous videos? Let me know-I appreciate your feedback!

Hold your milk spout closer to the surface, your milk texture looks decent. You could also try to submerge the steam wand head more at the start and then pull up to the surface of the milk to aerate.

Why don't you extract into the cup you are going to be drinking from?

Do you live in Hungary?

I think when u pouring in deeper and narrow cup you should add more milk/get a bigger jug so u can get the closest jug to surface of espresso ratio, so the foam will able to flowing effortlessly

I am a double shot guy mostly, my dose depending on the roast level is between 17 for darker and 18 for lighter roast. Though I feel it’s a bit much and would like a 15 grams basket but not in the mood to order one as I’d just waste the one I have. Another thing i’d like is if it came with a single shot as well, to perhaps make a ristretto from time to time, not feeling that happy to water 18 grams just for a sip. Hope I make sense 😂

I see the after market tray and pipe. But have you modded the springs? I would def recommend it. Also after heating the machine, purge some water first to release harsh steam that may have built up, then add the group head. turn on steam for 10s, turn off steam, then pull the shot. Much more consistent this way.

I love my Swarksdesign WDT tool. Overpriced probably, but I've found the design to be really nice to use, it has made a real difference to the consistency of extractions, and I am pleased that I purchased it.

Hi, fun to watch as you improve as i'm doing the same at home but not filming it as you do! 🙈😁 I have a couple of suggestions to your workflow.... When you tamp and get coffee stuck on the edges, just knock the tamper lighty on the outside of the portafilter and the coffee will fall in towards the middle of the puck, then just do a light tamp again and your set! 👍 Next thing, about getting out the puckfilter. What works for me is that i lay the portafilter on its side and with a small towel in my left hand i tap the porta in the knockbox catching the filterscreen with the towel as it kinda just falls out and then just turn the porta and knock out the puck..! 👍 Hope that made sense...!? 😂🙏👍 About the milksteaming... I'm like 50/50 successful with the texture, often dont have a clue what i did different... 🤷 But i hope it gets better with more practise... 🙏 Keep it up fellow Gaggia user! 👊 Greetings from Sweden! 🇸🇪👋👍 /Henke

Welcome back! It’s good to get my RTHB fix again, What brand is your bean storage jar? I'm on the lookout for something to replace an old Illy coffee can that I'm currently using.

PID-ul de unde este cumpărat? L-ai montat singur folosind unele tutoriale de pe youtube? PS: vreau sa imi achizitionez si eu un gaggia iar pentru râsniță as alege un eureka specialita, tu ce râsnița folosesti, DF64?

Welcome back. The fun part about new coffee is the dial in process, hard not to waste. The way i do it is just be coarser and this way i can at least drink it and not waste much. Plus i get to taste different notes. I don’t like blends either, i just feel it’s an easy way for the roaster to pop in some worse beans and they’ll be drinkable, for that i’d just rather have the beans go in supermarket for people that don’t care as much and I stick to single origins from south america, my favourite being Peru, also liked Guatemala.

Hi i have pretty much the same issue with grounds sticking on the wall of the basket walls. I ended up by considering that my tamp doesn't perfectly fit with my basket, maybe that's something that is solved with better quality tamp and basket ? As I don't have money to improve and test, I accepted it: I thing I have other things to improve before that. And for exemple, I have questions about your Gaggia : 1/ It looks like that you have a PID kit installed. I was considering buying one, but I had a question: Can you tell me how long it takes for the gagia to harm and be ready to produce approximately 94°C ? Without a PID, I use to wait 15 min before it gets warm enough (and before I play with button to try to have consitency right before extraction). Is it the same with a PID, do you need to wait 15 min ? 2/ As your are using a Puck screen with 15g in, does that mean that your actual basket is a 15g basket, a 16g basket, a 17g basket ? Thanks for your video, it' a pleasure to follow your progress

the way the water comes out of that machine disgusts me. spraying the water like crazy. no good.

❤

Isn't a 17 sec shot very short? Idk if it works different in this machine or your particular recipe

Start steaming your milk a bit before the actual indicator light of the steamwand turns red. This way you’re able to maintain steam pressure for longer. What also helps is to fill you pitcher with milk right when you start your workflow and let it sit in the fridge until you start steaming the milk. This to be able to aerate better and steam longer

Everyday better

What is the purpose of wetting the coffee beans?

love the process!!! looks great

Takes way to long for me, but still really cool.

Tastes the same or worse then Folgers lol.

Since youre using a puck screen, theres absolutely no reason to rub the shower screen after you flush. Key thing to keep it clean is flushing for about 3-5s after each extraction. Also, avoid using the same cloth for everything... Have a separate towel for the steam wand/milk, as it tends to get dirty and smelly way sooner. Another thing is that your shower dispersion looks like a bit of clogging because of lime/calcification. I suggest getting an espresso detergent, doing some backflushes, and leaving the shower screen and group plate submerged in the solution for a couple of hours to see if it gets better. Maybe a full decalcification?

This shot looks superb!!

Beautiful!!

Coolness!

Super cool!!! 👍☕️

Get the subminimal flick wdt. I think its awesome and handy

Nice video!!! But please treat yourself with a fancy cup, so you don’t have to ruin the crema and the aesthetics of the rest of the video!! 😊

Nice
