What's the ideal dose for espresso?

Oh. I was using 20g ion 40g out at 45 seconds

Help... im 18g in and 36g out at 30 seconds on my Quick Mill Pippa and all my pucks jam in the group head?! The coffee tastes great, i have tried removing the portafilter earlyer and later yet i still get messy puck jams.
Should i try less volume of beans?

Nice explication, NICE GIRL, but change your HAIR STYLE, YOU LOOK LIKE A BROOM 😁

This was incredibly helpful, thank you!

I need the first track name... ;-; Great vid.

and what about 51mm portafilters? I couldnt fit 18g in it, i have to go with 14-16g

I'm confused because if I'm trying to get a 1:2 ratio then I would need 28g for a double shot if a double shot is 2oz (56g). A basket wouldn't fill that much though. So what's the dose to get 2 ounces of espresso?

How about home espresso like De’Longhi with 51mm double basket portafilter? How many grams will it fit the best? Should hit the target around how many seconds? Anyone had best pulled?

I bought a DeLonghi machine and I thought that that was it. But soon after I found out that this espresso thing is incredibly difficult to learn 🙈
Maybe in the past they didn’t think that much about these things, but they just prepared espressos and drunk them 😄

Hello i have a delonghi with a single basket that takes 7gr of coffee. Now i bought a IMS bottomless basket that uses 15-17gr of coffee will that be too much coffe to take at once for someone used to a expresso of 7gr?

I use 19g and pull 36ml

She is very nice, calm and articulates well. Great info as i am also trying to optimize my experience....

Such a wonderful video. Thank you so much

One question that I still have is how does grind size impact the flavor of the shot. If the primary factor is extraction timed the grind size changes, it would seem that there would be different flavor profiles would be extracted from a very fine grind to a more course grind. I have not seen any videos that test for this variable. I assume that could be done by testing different shot sizes to determine if there is a flavor difference between grinds. It would seem there would be an ideal grind for every roast.

As a VO actor, I appreciate your speech speed and enunciation. Very easy to understand 👍🏼

Great video, one question : everydingle time i see a video of how to make the perfect expresso at home people uses 16 grams of coffee for a shot WHY ?? at a coffee shop for a shot you use 7.5-8 grams of coffee.

Me: I've seen dozens of these videos. What are the odds that this one will make a difference? (Adjusts pre-infusion time) - What just happened?!?

I’ve pulled shots as a barista at a local coffee shop and now starting my own business from home using a Chefman espresso machine. I bought Lavazzo espresso italiano, pretty strong but should I use 7-10Grams for one shot then?

When using pre infusion, do I start the timer when pre infusion starts or when the when I start pulling the shot?
Also they said in a previous video that yous should time your shots to the lost drop, but sometimes it drips for couple of seconds, so should I take my cup early or finish pulling the shot at 23 seconds?

What about 51mm portfilter ?

What is going on with that hair.

How often should you decal your machine? Great tips on how to get a good cup of esspreso.😊

i watch many videos spend a lot of time coffee money everything so complicate i have headache
everyone want a perfect coffee why can t make it simple

Informative! But why the irritating music?

Who the hell weighs the fukin coffee brahh?? That’s the most stupid things I have heard

16g is the best for me. 54mm bottomless portafilter on Sage Barista Express

When is there too much dose in your basket? Is it a problem if the puck has marks of the brew head? I see that when I lower my dose I get channeling, but if I increase my dose I touch the group head.

That was interesting and helpful, thank you. My new machine arrived today and I prepared with loads and loads of videos and pages of info. I got some somewhat decent result even. What I wasn't prepared for was the heart rate of a hummingbird in heat. I tried a lot of coffee today 😵‍💫

I accidentally increased my dose, and like my shot pull for over 45 seconds, I got a little bit more espresso, but it tasted fantastic. Since then, I’ve been pulling longer shots, say around 40 seconds (after decreasing dose) am still pulling great shots. I’m using a lighter roast.

It's because what my original basket recommends 😄😄

Like my comment if you like espresso...

whats the lowest you can go in 18g basket?

Excellent summary!

I find light roast coffees very unforgiving. I roast and stop just before first crack finishes on a lot of coffees, and it is always a fight, but a good shot is very rewarding

What's the ideal dose for espresso? Depends on how strong You want it and the type of beans.

The ideal dose is 7 grams of coffee and it should take about 30/31 seconds to fill a 3rd of an espresso cup while the coffee should come out consistently resembling, as we say in Italy, a rat tail. You can control that by measuring the thickness of the grounded coffee based on the hardness of the water, the humidity of the air, the machine pressure, and the temperature.

I have a Sage Bambino plus, I use distributor and all the modern tools available at the moment, 18.5 grs of coffee and with the naked portafilter I still get some channeling...Arrggg

Very clear explanation, thank you.

Wow, just tried it. 16g in, 30g out. Absolutely delicious. No bitterness, no sourness, just smooth and delicious.

Should I use 18 grams or 20 grams for a 58 mm portsfilter?

This is really informative!

I have a dark roasted robusta beans which is extremely bodied and creamy. But it is very unbalanced, there is too much bitterness and no acidity whatever i try to dial it. I dont know it will be constant or not, yet the last time i brew, i used 15gr and it ended up very fast extraction time in 15 sec. The time was frustrating to me but the was suprisingly good( nice crema, tastes of little acidity at last, still well bodied , balanced bitterness ). Do you think should i grind more and keep the extraction time above 20sec? Btw i use gcp with stock springbar.

I find 18g to weak in a milk drink, is that just me?!

What does is recommended for 51 mm basket non pressurized I tried 14 grams of coffee and am getting way to much liquid out like 70 to 100 grams and am going way over 30 secs. Water is sitting on puck also.

I am opening a coffee stall right now ! thanks a lot for info

I finally understand - the puck height is important! :)

The intro had my curiosity but the rest of the video had my attention.
