Any suggestions for a Breville Barista Max espresso machine? I cannot find the correct grind setting (1-30). I wasted a lot of coffee and it is very frustrating...

Thanks for being so clear & mentioning the grind amount. Couldn’t find a video that mentions this, also, thanks showing us your trials & errors. Appreciate it! ☕️

Mine is not flowing it barley comes out I've tried 18g and then 17g then went fine grind and then more course..

Have been struggling to get a finer grind even when at 1 on the outside, had no idea there was an inner grind setting. Watched heaps of videos and this is the first time it’s mentioned…thankyou so much James

This video is awesome. The machine finally makes sense. Thanks James

Oooh I need to grind way finer to get pressure. I've been using the double wall to get pressure but it doesn't make the coffee taste much better.

The amount of coffee you should grind into your basket depends on what roast level your coffee beans are. The lighter the roast, the denser (heavier) the coffee grounds are, the less volume it will fill the basket, and vice versa. 20g of dark roast coffee takes up more space (higher volume) than 20g of light roast coffee. So 18g is a good middle ground for the stock basket. As far as tamping pressure goes, the extraction and flow rate at 30 lbs or beyond has very little to no changes at all, so even if you tamp at 50 lb, it really does not matter. A way to look at it is that you want to tamp until the coffee grounds can no longer be compacted. That means you can tamp as hard as you possibly can, and you should be fine.

Why dont they put the inner grinder to 4 as factory reset?

The best video for sure

machine as of 5/24 utilizes a double boiler and comes with a funnel and cleaning accessories.

NEW SUB HERE! Love your channel! I can't seem to figure out how to get my Breville Barista to actually get into the Espresso Range! Yes, I purchase coffee beans from the grocery store and it's from a local Coffeeshop that roasts their own coffee here in Austin but now I have heard not to use 1 month+ old coffee beans ...so NOW I'm wondering how long the coffee bean bag had been sitting at the store. It's an organic brand and the 2 lb bag deal is the STEAL DEAL so I been buying this bag for over 10 years! (Ruta Maya Coffee in Austin, Texas... if you want to know) so that's what I buy and I would say that bag lasts me the whole month so I'm still not sure if it's the bag of beans I buy or just me needing to find that perfect grind setting. and sad to say I've never removed the grinder the way you did NOR have I ever seen anyone say to do this! What the heck? So there's another Grinder setting INSIDE the hopper and not just on the outside???

Too much talking

This was the best video I’ve ever seen in grinding. Thank you so much

Thanks for creating this informative video! I'm curious if you could provide some insights on the "program" button/feature, if you have any. Thank you!

I wish I saw this video first when I got this machine. Thank you! Now I just wish I could find one specifically for decaf beans...

Whilst I would agree that some of this is good advice the key part of this that this chap is missing is that you need to weight the output, otherwise you are just guessing. start on a 2 to 1 ratio - weigh out 18grams , grind then extract your coffee but put your cup on a scale and aim for 36grams over 25-35 seconds as a starting point. THEN you will know if you have a good extraction. You also need to put your Barista express in manual mode, so you control the start / stop - Press the programme button and then you can press the double cup button to stop/start the flow. One last thing, this machine ony gets really good espresso when you let it heat up for AT LEAST 15 minutes, I leave mine for approx 20-25 minutes. The difference in taste is night and day. Edit - also you dont need to touch the amount knob, just hold the portafilter in until your beans are gone, it will grind until you let go.

How long does the extraction process run? Mine has the right pressure but it doesn’t run for 20 seconds which is what the manual states. Good video

I had no idea there was in internal adjustment to the bur grinder! I've had super inconsistent results with seemingly no reason. Thank you for illuminating the full function of this machine!!

I am having trouble with the amount of espresso. I have the same scale and the hopper is totally empty when I start. But filling it up with 18g totally overflows my double, non pressurized portafilter. 16g fits well, but I want to make sure I am doing it right. What is my problem?

8:43 oh wow, I think using PLA for food containers isn't the best choice.. I think PLA isn't healthy and some fibers could get into your coffee.. just my two cents from the bottom of my heart. Thanks for the video!

Thanks man. This video is really helpful.

To reduce mess from overflowing coffee grounds - set to single cup filter size - grind - tamp lightly - grind again and tamp appropriately. Virtually no mess!

Thank you so much James! Your explanation helped me 😊

Thank you for this James I just got my machine a couple of days ago. Almost cried, I just couldn’t get it right - it was either sour or bitter and I didn’t know how or what ‘dial in’ meant, adjust grind settings,etc. It was just all too complicated for me. FYI, I used a Nespresso machine/pods before this, so imagine my frustration! 😂 Now that I’m a bit more ‘educated’ I’ll be playing around with it a bit more and sacrifice a bag of beans in the process 😅 More importantly, you kept it plain and simple - very helpful for a newbie like me.

I've watched about 50 videos,this is this is the first one that explains everything in a way I could understand. Thank you!

Hi James, I bought a Barista Express second hand, but great condition. I cleaned the burrs (not the inner yet, as I'm lacking the tool to unscrew the hex nut.) but my shots are still running through on both inner and outer grinder on 1.... Fresh beans, proper tamp, changed the water temp to higher. 21 grams, so maxing out the basket. It's only an extra 5 seconds I'm seeking, but I'm lost what else I could do....

What kind of dog is that? He's so beautiful!

Excelente video para los rookies como yo. Ajusté mi grider en el interior y ahora tengo un cafe perfecto de Puerto Rico

great video

Great video, thank you!!

If your a pro go with a scale? Why scale when you can tamp and know exactly how much coffee you have

Thank you very much for this detailed video!!!! Just bought this machine and thanks to you're explanation dialed in real fast for a great shot of espresso🎉

Can I use this machine to grind coffee bean for a pour over or French press?

Dude! You rock! Thank you so much!

Thank you! much simpler way to start dialing in a shot.

What about water level? My breville doesn't produce as much water now on a double shot. The machine is now 3 yrs old.

I'm having no success making a shot I've turned my inner grind to four and I've tried the outer grind at 17,16,15,14,12,10,7 when I've been below 12 it's come out choking it with tiny drips not making any expresso. I've been in the 17 and 16 it's come out with a 19 gram dose producing 47 to 60 gram shots and taking 30 to 35 seconds . I'm using coffee from a roaster that was done on September 24th and it's October 25th I've gone through three bags of coffee no success is there any way that you could help me? my pressure only ever goes just below the middle in the express oh range except when I've gone down to the 12 ground on the outside it doesn't get into the Gray. Is there a problem with the machine if the pressure is not getting higher than that? I've watched like eight different videos from people to try to understand what can be happening. I'm using the double shot basket single walled I'm not using the pressurized one because I thought these beans are fresh enough?

Very helpful, thank you!

Have the stl (3d print file for muggles) for that funnel ? :D great vid thanks.

Watched tons of videos yours is the most helpful. Thanku. No one else talked about what grind numbers they used

Knowing about adjusting the inner burr was a life saver! Thank you eternally

Crazy the machines are preset to work…. Very frustrating trying to get it perfect but good video on the steps

For anyone wondering... during my quest to find the perfect machine for my budget, I saw that the majority of negative reviews came from people who didn't even bother to learn how to use this darn thing. This video did indeed help me make my decision and helped me set it up. For its price range, it is hard to beat. Is it 'endgame'? No, but it does deliver tasty shots that stay as consistent as your methods. Even with stock tools. I'm fairly confident that once I find the bag of beans that suits my taste buds and make a couple of upgrades (bottomless filter/calibrated tamper) I'll be set until I have enough for a better machine. I work in a lot of different homes and have seen this machine on many counter tops but do not see a scale, timer, I see pre ground beans, and before making the purchase I'd ask what their opinion was and sure enough it was; it sux. It will if you don't use it right lol.

Breville has recently added a funnel to the package, works great. This is for australian model i just bought today.

Why don't you use scales and a timer!? This machine is programmable.

Bro thank you just got one and tuning it now!

So what if your espresso is horribly bitter at 1:2 ratio and it's that way anywhere from 20 to 30 seconds? I can't seem to get a drinkable shot from my new Gaggia classic pro.

How much water do you do for an americano?

Thank you so much. I really appreciate it. I learn a lot.

I followed your video, step-by-step, and the issue I’m finding is that when using a non-pressurized and moving closer, and closer to fine on the grind sized and burr I’m losing all pressure and my shots are only pulling at the beginning was seven seconds and now two 10 1/2 seconds but again no pressure at all. Why would you suggest this and how was yours increasing pressure?
