I dont think you wver said how much milk you should be using. You had a photo of a pitcher with the level of milk, but pitchers are lal different sizes.
It's the same theory for each pitcher size. We mention this starting at 1:25
Could it be the grinder?
100% could be!
@@clivecoffee any you may recommend? I tried everything from newly roasted coffee, to new tamping tool and WDT, and even new filter basket, but seeing your coffee ground, I believe it is the grinder. I even tried to slightly wet the beans before grinding, but it did not improve the sputtering. The consistency was definitely more liquidy.
Failed to mention the puck screen also keeps your shower screen clean.
Totally. That is probably the only benefit. You'll still have to scrub the shower screen eventually because coffee oils will still get through.
Thank you to who ever commented the easy fast answer Jesus Christ this answer is impossible to find without watching a lot of talking. No one’s holding anyone to it but a general easy answer is difficult to come by.
I think the tamping stations are more for people who just got into espresso, and aren't used to pressing the coffee. needing a way to always get a similar press
True! Just not really going to have a huge impact on your espresso outcomes.
Love this - thanks!
I'm so torn between ordering the black or the stainless
The stainless is the classic look, but the black is just 🔥
Je n'aime pas cette méthode, j'ai l'impression que je vais abîmer les éléments du broyeur . . .
Vous ne l'endommagerez pas. Utilisez toujours une bonne technique.
Ido so badly want this machine. It is my ultimate machine
Let's get you one! Reach out to us at hello@clivecoffee.com
Very informative video. Could you please let us know which digital scale you are using under the group head?
Thank you! The Acaia Lunar scale: clivecoffee.com/products/acaia-lunar-scale?variant=7781661540380
Hey there is continuous dripping from the OPV valve on my day old bianca. Do i need to return it? its slow dripping but still annyoing. My machine also makes a constant hissing sound (pressure like) thats not too loud but there.. takes a while for it to go away even when I turn the machine off
Hey there! Please reach out to the vendor from which you purchased the machine. If it was Clive Coffee, you can chat, call, or reach us at support@clivecoffee.com
@@clivecoffee Unfortunately it wasnt clive, thanks for the reply though, can I just get your insight on whether the OPV valve shouldnt be doing that? Thank you :) Regards
@@AM-zu1xi Anytime! I wish I could give you advice for your machine, but unfortunately I cannot. If your machine is a day old, it's still under warranty, so you should reach out to the original vendor for all tech help. Good luck!
I love the ECM machines
Us too :)
Perfect, thanks!
Same mourning routine with my GCP. Two great machines when you know how to use them.
Very nice!
The way you do it you should in my experience have three shots at three different temperatures. The machine heats up until the light goes off but doesn’t stop there and notoriously runs too hot. So I always pull the shot right after the light goes off. Means purging a whole lot and wasting a lot of water but it’s the most consistent I found.
Also not purging water from the steam wand before steaming gives you a lot of water in your milk. At least with my machine (V6).
yep! there is some temperature surfing required which we go more into depth in the companion blog on our website.
@@HGH44309he does purge water in the video.
Why do you say it's especially important to use fresh coffee etc for a single boiler machine? That doesn't seem related to the number of boilers in the machine.
yes, you’re correct that it’s not related to the number of boilers a machine has; that’s not the point being made, especially with the information that follows that comment. Since this video is meant to show you what it’s like using, dialing in a setup, and living with this, it’s an always an important point to make right away. you’d be surprised by the amount of people who do not know this fact and actively do not use fresh coffee. and since single boiler machines are typically at a more accessible price point for most folks looking to get into home espresso, it’s a great tip for beginners!
Great video! I own the Rancilio v6 and like it. I am curious about the basket and espresso ratio. You say 15 gram coffee but the shot is 40gram in 28… so more of a 1:2 ratio? Shouldn’t it have been 30 gram espresso shot?
Better to be more fluid when dialing in rather than sticking to numbers to the exact digit. Really depends a lot on how the coffee tastes as well.
Thank you 🙏🏻 Would you recommend the Mignon (any model?) over the Rocky grinder?
@@SuperFrederik88 100% I personally single-dose so I really like the quality and the value of the Eureka Oro Single Dose. Check this blog out too: clivecoffee.com/blogs/learn/eureka-espresso-grinder-overviews?_pos=1&_psq=eureka&_ss=e&_v=1.0
One of the grinders not mentioned in that blog because it's new to our lineup is the Mignon Zero. Worth checking out: clivecoffee.com/products/eureka-mignon-zero-espresso-grinder?_pos=1&_psq=zero&_ss=e&_v=1.0
Hi, my duo is 2 weeks old and I am confronted rather often to the problem that my.programmed buttons don't stop anymore at all, mostly after the morning espresso pulls and then after a couple hours of "pause" during the day. Any recommendation what may happen within this time why the programmend buttons don't wanna keep consistency? I try to be really exact in my prep before pulling the shot (1st again of the afternoon..).
Hey there! Please reach out to the vendor in which you purchased the machine from for any technical help as they would carry the warranty.
Great video. THANKS
Cheers!
So you choose the ratio based on preference and dial in to taste. What if ive done that, and get a sour shot at one time, and a bitter one 2 seconds different? Time to change the ratio?
Yep! it takes a lot of practice, tasting, and troubleshooting.
Pucking a brew recipe is making me pull out my hair. Are you saying the ratio is more or less your choice? So i just choose? Cuz ive vhanged this ratio 3 times now and im not able yo get something as sweet and creamy as ive had at other cafes
Yep! You choose your brew ratio. It's best to not change so many variables and just change one at a time, for instance, your extraction time. Or make grind adjustments. It could be that you don't really like the coffee.
I have 6 of these machines and I’ll hold it down for 3 seconds or less and it just turns off.
Hold what down? The power button for at least 5 seconds to get into programming mode? If you have questions please contact us.
Great video! And love the room where it is filmed, very high quality footage ;) Doubting between Lelit and de ECM Mechanika 6 Slim or even the Profitec pro 400/500. Help me please hahah. Which one shoudl I get. I mostly drink milk-based drinks, around 3 or 4 cappuchino's a day. Soo perfect milk frothing and learning Latte art is what I really appreciate.
I would go for the Lelit Mara X. The best steaming experience out of all three.
@@clivecoffee thanks, nice to get such a quick response of you😁ready to see more of your videos
@@JaspervanderKamp Cheers!
Why is it a „Zero“ in comparison to the other Mignon? Just because you can blow through it?
The Mignon Zero is called that becuase it has low retention because of it's single-dosing workflow.
@@clivecoffee But it is the same machine like the others. There is nothing different, is it?
@@benehubar2423 It's almost the equivalent of the Specialita, but the Zero does have a little bit stronger of a motor.
How often should Flojet pump be kicking in? I have mine setup with pressurized tank and usually it will toggle on every second shot or near the end of shot.
That sounds pretty normal to me.
Good video.. I was able to rebuild my E61 easily. However, some of the parts were different from the ones I pulled from my Rocket Mozzafiato V. Make sure you don't discard the old parts before you are done. I just cleaned the old parts and put them back in.
Love it!
I use 11 grams for a single shot of espresso
Great! Completely fine for single-shots.
When installing the camshaft lobe must be sitting on the bottom valve ? Evey one else says the camshaft lobe must face out front towards the front of the machine but when I do that the camsahft is stuck and dosnt move
Interesting. We made this video specifically becuase people have a ton of trouble with the cam shaft part.
why everyone in America makes ristretto and call it espresso? wtf?
Becuase ristretto is a different size. It's still espresso.
Hola , este molino funciona para una pequeña cafetería ?
No, it will not be able to handle it.
I find 6 seconds too short to get the heat that's too hot to touch. Is my steamer defective?
I'm not following you here. Please clairify.
@@clivecoffee I mean, u said 6 seconds to steam whole milk. In my steamer, after 6 seconds steaming with whole milk, the pitcher is still not too hot. I hope I explained that well.
@@MarcyTrinidad Depending on which espresso machine you have and it's steaming capabilities, it can take up 15 seconds, 30 seconds, sometimes up to a minute to properly steam milk.
@@clivecoffee Thank you. Yes, I think my steaming wand is not as strong so it took about 30 seconds. Thanks so much! I have watched this video a lot of times already!
@@MarcyTrinidad Cheers!
Solved it! On the newest model there are 3 dots on the upper surface of the top burr. You need to align these 3 dots with the 3 screws of the lower burr. This gives perfect alignment and the grinder is now working! Thank goodness! Gin and tonics all round! 😀
Perfect! Cheers.
I followed these instructions today from beginning to end and now I have power to the grinder but the burrs are not turning. This isn’t my first grinder and bought this six months ago. Any ideas?
Please reach out to the vendor in which you purchased the grinder from for additional assistance.
Too kind of you, waiting for us to buy new espresso beans! 😄 Subbed! 😊👍🏻
Thank you for the education, made the greatest shot today 18g Dose 30s Grind (fine) 30s Extraction time 25g Yield risteretto 👌 Flavourful, Dark thick and delicious ☕
Amazing! Love to hear it. Happy shot pulling.
Flush for 20 seconds?! Crazy talk.
That's just for the fast heat up mode. It makes it ready to pull shots after 12-13 mins. If you want, you can disable fast heat up mode in the advanced PID settings and wait 30 mins if you so choose.
I like the video but why don't you ever look at the camera to your left? As a viewer it makes me feel like you are avoiding me.
Glad you liked the video!
So bitter can't fix
Why grindtimes are longer when single dosing?
because there's no gravity assist from having a full hopper of beans.
how can singledose take 20 sec?
this grinder is not optimized for single-dosing and we haven't sold it for about 6 years now.
May i ask if a espresso is a shot or a double shot?
double-shot
@@clivecoffee and what is it called when we split the double shot
@@Mispelledluis a split shot.
@@clivecoffee can a cappucino be made with a split shot or a double shot
@@Mispelledluis It can be made with both. It depends on how you want to construct the drink for how much espresso you want.
It should be absolutely necessary to point out that food-grade grease must be used !!! People can get sick by using machine grade grease !!!
that's correct and it's exactly what we use in the video.
nice.. my issue is.. I have hand grinder... If I fill with 18 grams it over flows... if I adjust the grind size it flows far too fast.. if I reduce the dose to 16 grams I get inconsistent shots... does the grinder have a massive effect on the shot .. as adjusting from one click to another.. means either too fine and blocked or too fast a pull.
Yes, it does have a large impact on your espresso outcomes. Using a hand grinder isn't ideal when grinding for espresso, especially since yours is giving you wild results from just one adjustment to to the next.
Can’t decide between this in the Rancilio Silvia
Great! You should give us a call: (888) 557-5320
I want to know, what is Quad shot espresso, how to yeald it's??
A quad-shot is simply 4 shots of espresso. Pull 1 double-shot, and then repeat the process again for the next double-shot.
I have about a 10 year old Rancilio Silvia. Anyone got any ideas as to why the flow of espresso slows after taking 3 or 4 shots from the same puck of coffee? Instead of taking a single espresso shot & filling my coffee cup with hot water, I just pull another 3 or 4 shots from the brew head. I would normally take it in to my wonderful espresso repair shop, however, with a divorce and cost of living sky rocketing I just can't afford a $400+ bill right now. Besides, each time I have taken my Rancilio in for regular maintenance, they are blown away as to how great of shape it is in. I think using reverse osmosis water in it makes the difference, I never use tap water. It had it's last maintenance only 2 years ago tops, so I am not sure why I am having issues. I backwash it on a regular basis and it was just recently descaled. Any advice?
We don't reccomend using the same puck of coffee more than once. Using RO water without remineralizing it will eventually erode your brew boiler.
@@clivecoffee Thanks for the info, but I was recommended by the repair shop that services many of the area restaurants in Edmonton AB Canada that using the RO would help preserve the machine?? I guess like everything else in life you can find info that is completely opposite.
@@jenniferpepler5843 Since RO water has zero mineral content, the water will just corrode your boiler. It's not an opinion as much as it is chemistry.
@@clivecoffee That is really interesting! I would have thought minerals would cause deposits and unwanted erosion. Mind you, can't say I have given it much thought until now. I recently moved and our tap water is high in salt among other things. I would presume that that isn't any good either. It is causing issues when running dishes through dishwasher too. If not RO or tap water, can you recommend another bottled water option? I think I can get supposed spring water, but I don't have a lot of trust in water bottling companies either. lol Thanks for your help!
@@jenniferpepler5843 If you want to use RO water, you can still use it, you just need to remineralize it. This is a great product: clivecoffee.com/products/third-wave-water-packets-12-pack
Thanks for the video. You didnt talk much about time....does this imply that you should only be driven by ratio for strength and by grind size for taste, and the time will be whatever it is, based on grind size? I thought the ideal was to aim for around 30 seconds?
It's ideal to aim for an output.
It is very noticeable that the handle is a flat black and very cheap appearance. I struggle to think of a machine that does not have polished black knobs and handles. What is behind this choice? I have also noticed that the dial is difficult to read, a problem associated with having white characters on a pastel background? Was this a deliberate FU to older users or was it just not thought out?
The paddle looks much different now and is polished, and the gauge is hard to read in the video because of the way the lighting is hitting the face of it. It's not difficult to read at all! clivecoffee.com/products/lucca-e61-flow-control?variant=39908236722264
@@clivecoffee This is better than in the video but not yet as polished as what is on the machine.
@@BillColeExperience yes, it is not, but it's close! cheers.
I’m using Lucca v2 machine and pulling 18gr in 27-30 seconds but still can’t figure out if it’s too sour or too bitter
Acidity hits the tongue front and sides of the tongue right away and makes your face pucker. Sourness means too much acidity. Bitterness usually leaves an ashy/woody unpleasant aftertaste or a drying effect on the palate. Check out part one of the video!
You and me both😅
Hello there. Is it possible to adjust the single and double dose by finer time granularity then 0.05 seconds, e.g. 0.01 seconds?
No, there is not.
Thank you for answering.
