Eureka Atom 75 Lelit Bianca Espresso Workflow
Great review ! Just used mine on a road trip. Love it. Anyone successful getting through USA carry on(tas)
Can i use this to install my pid which i got from shades of coffee?;
@@armaanpasha5865 it should be mostly fine double check the Instructions with the shades of coffee though as you go through
@@JoeyVaracalli thanks so much
i previously though auto coffee makers superceed manual ones so much... now i have one, the trouble of washing the brew unit and finding coffee ground here and there inside the auto machine, makes me realise how much trouble one saves with manual machines....
@@nikeroy9018 yeah manual makes better as well if you use a non pressurized filter basket
I received mine today and I love it! Perfectly tiny, great for my small kitchen 👍 Taste is nice too! Way better than all the bitterness in most cafés! And I really do appreciate the good design and amazing packaging ❤
That’s awesome yeah we still love ours as well
Not fitting the coffee cups I don’t really think Falls under a con cause some people don’t have the space
well yeah i think thats a good point just something I wanted people to make not of. not a huge con more of a slight negative for those that may have tall cups is all
Dude Google tripod ,JFC. Video is unwatchable due to camera person.
Yeah you should give him more shit. 💩 it was really rough I think he was trying to be artsy but it’s just ended up sucking. Luckily this is the only video like this
I reference this video back every time I clean my machine lol Thanks!!
Ahh so it's not the pressure it's the grind.
Correct
@@JoeyVaracalli I bought a Sun Beam coffee grinder and it does it quite fine. But what i find is that the pressure on these machines are no where near as good as the ones in even a Gas Station. You need to spend money on an Italian one. And they are very expensive. Or German ones are good too.
@@JoeyVaracalli Dont overfill, or press the coffee in too hard. The pressure doesnt allow it. Do a fine grind if you can, and fill the double shot handle half way up with coffee, set it as a double shot anyway. And it should be good. You can always stop it when you think its done. Mine usually drips out because i pack it too fine and tight. But i like a thick black espresso
@@barristanselmy2758 how many bar are you reading your sunbeam generally espresso is pulled between 9 and 12 bar
@@JoeyVaracalli It goes up a bit higher on the pressure gauge a little bit beyond where it says Perfect range.
Is this the EVO model? I bought the EVO and it's advertised as 9 bar. After 8 months I just can't get good espresso. It's generally bitter and just awful. Thanks for the video!
No this was the standard model but I changed the spring out to make it 9 bar. Also bitter bad espresso is generally controlled by a lot of other factors other than the machine itself
Quick and to the point. Thanks!
One of my local shops serves klatch coffee and I buy their 2lb bags for $40. Fantastic stuff, but I am still partial to Blue Bottle Coffee.
yeah if I could get it at that price that would be my daily. blue bottle is great if you can get it fresh
you should first purge some water first ,,,,,, air in the system
Yup that was the issue. I was able to get it working after
Those yellows not matching make me feel uncomfortable lol
bought the non-grinder version for $50 😂 it's my first time making espressos and I can tell its not the best and the seller included a high quality non-pressurized portafilter. It's tedious to get a consistent espresso but overall not too bad. I definitely recommend upgrading the portafilter and it's a much better experience
Yeah the portafilter is super cheap aluminum not good for espresso
🔥
Why would you make coffee before you've done the whole set up and run water through it first?
Love baby we gotta make stuff
You need to sort out a better mike
Yeah I did after a few videos it’s all good now.
Is it make lateé or cappuccino?
Yes it can make a cappuccino
Does the quickmill lise any power when you use the thermoblock to pull a shot whilst steaming? Compared to just doing one or the other?
It uses electricity yes. But the pump doesn’t lower its pressure or anything like that
This is a very helpful video. I've referred to it several times and made one modification to the procedure. I use distilled water in my machine to minimize need for descaling. That said, I use an empty distilled water container to mix the descaling powder with water and then pour the mixed solution in the tank. Easier (and more thorough) than mixing the solution in the tank. Everything else as detailed in the video. :-)
That’s awesome glad it’s been helpful to you
Kötü işcilik
I love the mignon series i have a zero but espresso range for the coffee i use is like 2 lines past burr chirp. I wonder what is yours set at. Its one of the best grinders build qualities are awesome but ... small range for espresso.
Yeah I love the mignon series purely on looks and build quality. Also how quiet it is!!!! For espresso mine is normally set someone between .5 and 2
@@JoeyVaracalli yes, the build quality is awesome! It make the workflow so much easier. Thanks for the reply! Have a great day
@@carrscoffee thanks. Stay tuned I just toured the eureka facility so I’m posting that video in a couple days
@@JoeyVaracalli I will be watching! Love the videos ! I'm looking at another Eureka grinder right now called the Drogheria mcD4 for my up comming coffee shop. If it's anything like the home grinders I think I will be happy.
@@carrscoffee well the atom 75 grind by weight looked unreal when I got to use it. Coffee house setup dream honestly
Did you fix the issue? I’m having the same issue
You should have read the dam instructions.. you just made a great machine look bad ..all your fault.
Super helpful. Learn't alot.
Stupid video
All sounds good. My prob is, it's very long. My kitchen here in Europe is small. So trying to fit it in... is a real prob. A real shame. As I could do with a machine like this. I open to suggestions for shorter machine...
Yeah is it ok if it’s wider
@JoeyVaracalli wider is ok. Length a problem.
I want to add a VST basket to my legato. . I have a naked porta filter. Should I use ridged o ridgeless ? 58mm or E61:?
You have very little experience with a SA and it shows. It also clearly shows you were compensated by TK. Does seemless mean lower qualy but stupid proof?
Dude how much did they pay you to "review" this?
I didnt get quite get the brand and name of the coffee beans used in the meticulous shot…can you provide it?
Dude, that’s a lot of flavors in there huh?
Need to invest in a fill light or reflective disk to bounce light onto your face/machine .
Yeah I bought one not long after this video
How high off the counter are your cabinets? 17”?
What is the grind size you use for Drip?
I use 2 that’s where I felt like it gave best results but I didn’t find a major difference between the grind size on the drip since it’s in contact with water for such a long time
@@JoeyVaracalli Thank you! I used the default of 4 and felt it was alittle sour. I’ll try 2. Appreciate your videos!
Thank you for the review! I owe a TK-01 and am overall happy with it. I was just thinking about a TK-02 but the fact that you don't have access to the brewing unit is no-go for me. The TK-01 allows you to take the brewing unit out and rinse it clean etc. I can tell you that there's a good chance you will have a little mold in some corners of the brew unit or the space it's in if you don't clean it for a couple of weeks. It's coffee and you have water & heat involved in the process. I don't understand why they would seal it off?!! 😕
Yeah it’s definitely a complaint of mine not sure why they did that. I will say they seem like they took a lot of time and effort on making sure the self cleaning works well but it’s still dumb cause mold can grow
Hello, I’d like to ask if you’ve tried the version of this machine that has an Iced coffee feature instead of americano? The coffee it gives is extremely hot (no temperature control) which makes sense but now in retrospect it feels like a quite useless feature to have? As I am not sure what differentiates it from the normal coffee option, and since I guess adding ice to an espresso shot works too.
I have not used it but if the water temperature doesn’t change it’s the dumbest feature I have ever heard of lol 😂. My favorite way to make an iced americano is pull a shot over a ton of ice and steam the espresso with ice till it melts a bunch of the ice then top with more ice. Makes it almost like a nitro cold brew it’s pretty cool
@@JoeyVaracalli yeah I feel silly now, I didn’t see the americano version at the store I got it from however But do you not fear that too much ice waters down the taste completely? That’s my main concern and why I used to let coffee cool down lol not so practical
@@nctsgrass I do it all the time at the end of the day what matters is the amount of dosed coffee vs the amount of time water runs over the puck in my opinion
@@JoeyVaracalli oh okay, thank you!
10:59 link please or name
Are you talking about the name of the barista or the product. The product is meticulous
Hey I just bought a Mara X what size is the E61 head gasket 8.0 or 8.5, the standard gasket is so stiff would like to replace with Cafelat Silicone gasket ?
If it’s the same as the lelit Bianca it’s 8.5
this is my favorite blend of all time. the 2022 contract is exceptional. I get 5 lbs bags every few months and use it for everything. drip in the moccamaster, shots from the decent, aeropress on a hike. i'm a sucker for milk chocolate top note medium roasts and this one is the top of the top for me.
Great tutorial!!! Trying to understand the manual was just not working. Your instructions are very easy to follow.
looks like a lot of fun, I'm not into art I stir my Latte anyway :)
Nice 👍. Yeah it’s fun trying to learn new skills
This is an infomercial for the DF64
interesting is the second ThermoJet, will it heat portafilter also? something to watch for, especially if will be introduced for other breville machines
449 regular price at Costco right now
Just bought one yesterday for $549… WTH Costco
Nice video fun and informative, nicely done
Hey thanks I appreciate it
Does the Libra work with a 54mm bottomless portafilter
Yes just have to adjust the portafilter holder
what you suugest more gaggia classic pro with opv mod or sage bambino ?
Hard call the gaggia would cost more so if you have the time and money I’d go with with that but honestly the bambino is great
hmm, dit you use the one cups inlay? normally (i have the sage dual boiler) normally there are always 2 cups at the same time
