I really like your short videos. hope your channel gets more viewers. subbed!

[@davidh13]

Thanks Hoon! Just had to tweak the inner burr from 6 to 3, straight out of the box.

[@Razor1138]

Getting my 1st espresso machine for Christmas. This is helping me get ready for my Barista Pro. Keep up the good content.

[@martinmillev]

Thank you Hoon, having watched another video on adjusting the upper burr i was thinking that the middle ground would be a good base for a balanced range of grinds and then to hear you say that you also like the middle ground, I'm sold. Of course, subject to the type beans i think, some may require additional adjustment of the burr, but other than those exceptions a middle ground burr setting seems the most practical option. What do you think?

[@jimmyd9538]

Great video. My Breville Smart GrinderPro has the same top burr. I was getting channeling recently on my Rocket Giotto and suspected the grinder. After the adjustment the grind is finer and the channeling has stopped.
Hope to see you at the Tucson Home Show in late September.

[@ogruberoz]

thanks, managed to dial in after 3 shots. I think my supplier has changed beans or done something different maybe roasting a little darker. Changed from 3 inner burr and 1 grind to 2 inner and 10 grind to get the extraction back to 25-30. I was consistently pulling shots at 30-33seconds for years and then past 5 months its been at 20-23 seconds.

[@dodymemphis4270]

Could it happen that the inner grinder wheel get in contact with the outer grinder wheel when both are set so MIN?

[@garethbastow7325]

Have you a similar video with SB Breville changing the burr and grind settings? I have my inter burr at 3 and use 18g and I still get 58g out?

[@mohdkooji2572]

Thank you Hoon, I have an issue with my breville pro barista when grinding light beans too fine it gets Jammed, only grinds dark and some medium beans the right size for espresso shot to fine, so I can’t get the right Grindr size for lighter beans. Any suggestions. Thanks

[@DannyNagymusic]

Do you have to dial it in every time you use a different kind of coffee bean ?
Love your channel !!!

[@DannyNagymusic]

At what point are you deciding on changing the internal grind setting ?

[@Pearl3Drummer]

So different brands of coffee beans requires different grinder size?

[@ricardoburns]

How many second do you have for a double grind? Mine was 20 seconds but to much cancer out

[@ayupamungkas5013]

Thanks for this!! I’ll try this out, mine pouring so fast :(

[@JimNortonsAlcoholism]

Good one. Helped me pull a much better shot by going finer

[@gaz7777gaz]

Good video pal very informative, I have been pulling good looking shots but they taste like shit really sour or bitter I can’t tell the difference 🤪

[@halfmeout]

I had to do this on my express. Seemed ridiculous out of the box this needs adjustment

[@colorfulmusic7718]

thanks alot,,, i didn't know the hardware .... even I tried scale 2 in software...!!

[@sridharkancharla62]

The Barista Pro’s manual says the portafilter is designed to hold 19-22g of coffee. Does it matter that you’re using only18g? Is that why your shots are running too fast? Perhaps if you dose 20g, it’d slow down the flow and you’d get the extraction you want?

[@messthegr8170]

My portafilter cant take 19 g for sure

[@alachance2010]

Thanks!

[@micheleignozza5951]

Hello .. which differences there are between the sage barista express grinder and the sage barista pro grinder ?.. are they the same ? Is the express one’s fitting in the pro one’s?Thanks

[@HoonsCoffee]

There are the same grinder but Pro has more adjustment.

[@tjroebot]

@@HoonsCoffee Is it not just marketing? The express has 18 settings but in reality it is a linear adjustment across the adjustment right from 1 to 16. Yes there are 16 indents on the control but 6.5 is finer than 7 if you understand.

[@OceansideCreations]

Why not just move it to ten on the settings or even 20?

[@martijnvandervelden4809]

I get 18gramms out grinding in 11 seconds..
What can I do??

[@Presso99]

long way to learn

[@fredwilson1191]

It's the OUTER burr thats being adjusted when you remove the hopper and take that burr out. You always say INNER

[@jinrowang]

I think he meant INSIDE the machine burr

[@fredwilson1191]

Yes he does, but I wouldnsggest he be clearer about vocalizing it such as "to adjust the outer burr one has to remove the bean hopper to get inside the machine ".
Others have mentioned before about his use of "inner burr" when he actually means the outer burr which is accessed from inside the machine. :)

[@jinrowang]

@@fredwilson1191 Yes, that will be less confusing for all 😀

[@Presso99]

Hoon is right. Inner burr has 2 sets of burrs, one is lower and the other is upper. What was shown is the upper inner burr.

[@user-lx9rc7hg6l]

My burr is stuck and won't move, this is a brand new machine.

[@ahmedqannita3706]

Thanks, but such a waste of 11 mins of time for a 10 secs trick :)
Thanks anyway :)
