It’s not

i have a j ultra like in the video and it’s not hard at all. if you are doing more than 3 shots back to back maybe, but otherwise it’s just a moderate level of resistance.

im an espresso guy but my whole set up is much more budget than most people on youtube lol

@@GuccioSaltarelli why did you remove the rubber thing on top? The scales look cooler with it and it's also easier to clean

@Rundik just a personal preference I guess

Couldn't agree more! Good Brothers is great and you should definitely give them a try! Also I bought it on Amazon for both the saucer and cup it was $50.

Very good. I wanna try more but the shipping was so expensive lol.

Unfortunately not. Cheers.

Pretty much 2 times a day since August of 2023. I have a manual grinder I got about a month ago and only use it for light/medium light roasts and this for medium dark and dark roasts. Cheers.

This is just a Neapolitan blend cuz in Napoli they traditional use a blend of 80% arabica beans and 20% robusta and that’s what this blend uses.

@@GuccioSaltarelli True that! This does appear very light brown on the screen though.

@@thebarak they are dark but they aren’t super super dark like how beans in Napoli are but they aren’t as far off maybe as it looks

I’m not sure but it’s one of the free ones on iMovie lol

It’s a blend I believe and I think some of the blend features Ethiopian beans I’m not sure what else is in here tho.

It’s true that I usually find about 1/6 of the water I put into the chamber not be used for the total brew cycle but I don’t find it to be an issue because you are using like 100ml of water to brew like 8-9g of coffee which is an extremely high ratio. I would recommend this product for sure for espresso as travel but it’s never gonna be as good as a home espresso machine unfortunately.

This is the 1Zpresso J Ultra which is my manual grinder and for my electric grinder it’s the Turin SD40v2

For dark roasts I do 92 Celsius and for medium I do 95 and light I do 97 degrees Celsius

This place was really cool and the beans weren’t bad. I always love supporting local coffee shops even tho I buy way too much coffee for my home use lol.

No itd 20g in a 20g basket. I have a 20g VST basket that I use!

My bad, I read the box wrong!

@@RyanOJohn all good bud! Cheers!

I honestly like both. For pour overs, they just aren’t as strong. I like espresso light or dark because it’s a strong punch of flavor. Pour over is a lot more subtle.

same

Glad you like it! Normcore has great products!

Gaggia isn’t bad but it’s just not great unfortunately due to the no PID. I think if you can wire it yourself it’s worth just upgrading it but if not, sell it and buy something better like you stated! Cheers!

@@GuccioSaltarelli Thank, I am autistic and maybe ADHD and I can't multi-task therefore I am looking to simplify the art of espresso making. I like the look of lever machines.

@@1967davidfitness very wild comment tbh but I think if you have a big interest in lever machines you should invest in one and see if it’s for you and if not return it!

Let me give it a look! Thanks!

I suppose it would be a bit sour, kind of fruity like "syrupy", "molases-like" citrus

It would be a mixture of a classic dark roast like dark chocolate and roasty with a balancing citrus and fermented flavor since it’s naturally processed. It also has that heavy mouth feel that dark roasts have. It’s everything I love about dark roasts and Ethiopian beans in one delicious coffee.

Thank you! Cheers!

I’m not worried about the bars as much, I’m more so worried about the extraction and after tasting it if I went slightly finer I think the flavor would of been a little more full but it was a good shot regardless

It’s really delicious and in my experience I enjoyed it more as espresso than pour over but I think it’s just I like intense flavors more and pour overs are lighter. Cheers!

i like more of the intense flavors so im still a 1:2 guy for this because its surprisingly light and not nearly as acidic as other light roasts. so usually i like more of a 1:2.5 aswell for light roasts, this happened to be great at 1:2 for me! glad you are enjoying it as well!

What setting did u have your grinder on ? I’ve been struggling with that brand of hand grinders on lighter roasts

@@bernardlim6469 which grinder do you have

www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0C7DYK1QL/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Pro tip, start the grinder before adding beans and pour them a little slow

No with the fellow canisters you have to turn the top on back and forth until the lid pops and it takes usually about 10 seconds. This helps keep the beans fresher for longer and the whole point of the canister in the first place!

Amazon but it’s hand painted in Italy

I try to get what I can without breaking the bank

Always

thank you!

I've tried about 6 different coffees from Good Brothers and reordered several ones they have frequently and its always been a big hit

yeah i deff enjoyed a higher ratio usually 20 in and 45 out. with roasts like this that are light/medium-light, i enjoy about the same. but for darker roasts i enjoy like 19.5 in and about 35-40 out. the thicker body and mouthfeel is important for me.

I haven't tested it but if you are asking about for the machines water flow, mine is standard, i haven't touched it from how it came out of the box

they are great!

It’s my first manual grinder that’s of high quality but it makes great espresso! Highly recommended!

@@GuccioSaltarellii have a built in grinder (sage barista touch), thinking of getting a new grinder.. (in Europe).. eureka mignon lineup maybe. Alternatively there is this solution, how do you use them now? Electric or manual ? Both ? A manual grinder would be able to store it, cheaper than a eureka, but takes more effort. I think I’m a dark roar kind of a person, have been able to dail in fresh beans yet :(

@@zwich I use my manual grinder for lighter roasts because my electric grinder doesn’t do a great job with it. The grinders are around the same price but the quality of the manual grinder is much higher but not nearly as convenient. I think my electric grinder is great for dark roasts and good for medium roasts but not good for lighter roasts or medium light. Hope this helps!

Thank you! It’s budget but it’s very functional lol
