I don't really see how this would work any better than using Aeropress cylinder and filter without using the plunger. Perhaps the larger diameter creates more surface area. A bit of a faff in my view. Having watched this vid I won't be buying one of these @ $70 CDN plus tax. Thanks for the review.

I'm a just a bit lost...why are you setting the shot for an espresso on the 'short' button? Isn't that for a ristretto? Being new to coffee in general, I am getting a tad confounded by what seems to be an inconsistency in terms and values: Oz and mls (surely if everyone stuck with mls...I mean what is an Oz - weight or volume, and I can easily visualise mls?), a nespresso ristretto is 25ml, espresso is 40ml, yet real espresso is 30ml, a double is 60ml, and now this video is discussing an espresso weighing 25g - but what is the volume? And if an espresso, why not use the espresso button to set it? I have a Creatista Pro and the default espresso setting is roughly 40ml (but with a slider to go up and down - why and for what purpose I don't know). Any help via a response here would be helpful. I did start out with a Bambino Plus and Smart Grinder Pro, bought two bags of local roasted beans, went from grind setting 15 down to 1 and in IMS baskets weighed 18g pulled consistently rapid sour shots. In a hot sweat I gave it up!. Still lost!

This guy have nothine good to say a think he has no No taste butts😡

So are we saying we have to go to a Baratza Encore ESP to get nice expresso?

would the finest setting grind fine enough for double shot Americano's with miik?

I think you should have rinsed out your mouth first before tasting the 2nd

very useful, I'd love to know how something like a Brita gets on I'm the taste test too. I ask because tap water unfiltered tastes pretty nasty where I live, chlorine etc.

I have this machine but can’t drink neat espresso as too strong. I add a bit of water but finding it a bit tasteless. Any tips how to avoid this?

Chaff has ZERO discernable flavor impact on your cup of coffee. I roast coffee and have plenty of chaff. I put 3 g of chaff, FOUR CUPS of it to getv3 grams & poured 300 mL of water over it. I then let it steep for 4 minutes. What the chaff didn't absorb I poured into a cup. I had about 160ml of chaff water. It had virtually no flavor. It was like a thrice brewed bag of tea; VERY WEAK. There's NO WAY this can impact the flavor of your coffee. The CZcams influencers need likes to keep the algorithm swinging to their content. This vid is algorithm food with no other value.. Chaff affecting coffee flavor is complete B.S.

Beats the DeLonghi KG89 in grinding speed and quality

I wonder can we make an alternative cap to make the Aeropress XL cap similar to the tricolate

Bond does enjoy the finer things in life. The coffee isn't for Bond. The coffee is for M. M doesn't have a clue about the finer things in life. Bond can't be bothered to make M an expresso. That's the joke of it all. Spilling the weak watery mess onto the saucer is the joke about it all. M doesn't reply with anything about the coffee Bond has made him. M replies with 'Is that all it does?' He doesn't know about coffee. As for the grinder the set dresser clearly miss and matched bits and pieces to make that grinder. As most things were put together for set design. M doesn't even know about Sherry. Connery being Bond explains to M in Goldfinger I'd say it was a 30-year-old fine, indifferently blended sir with an overdose of bon-bois.😂

Extraction up to 7 or 8 minutes ... you're having a laugh!

BPA free is meaningless. There are other harmful chemicals contained in plastic apart from BPA - you should know that!

ALL DRIP FILTERS are a nonsense! It takes too long for the coffee grinds to pass through the filter using just gravity. If you use coarse ground then you need to use a far greater amount of coffee than other methods like a french press for example. Move on, absolutely nothing to see - or hear - here, as the say in the movie industry.

Can I ask, what machine do you use in this video? Would love the temperature control functionality.

Fab. I have been thinking about producing some mare's milk myself. I'd be interested to know if you drank raw or pasteurised. Pasteurisation literally kills milk. If you want the best milk ever, get in touch with Fiona at The Calf at Foot Dairy. She produces it in jersey mixed raw milk with the calves kept at foot. It's fabulous.

This truly addresses the real problems of this world 😅

I dunno, I find it all off-putting. The total control. Why do we need to align coffee with "Trust", it's more of a religious experience when done right. I think James Hoffman and Morgan Eckroth did it best.

Glad I found this video. I bought this Eddie pitcher and I find it extremely hard to pour- it just made my latte art way worse. Did you get used to it after all?

brew the chaff!!!! do same side by side but pour over. Try CuteBabySeal below's post grind technique. I have some really small beans, And I reckon their chaff from the crotch to bean ratio is high. I'll try one of these techniques tomorrow. Doubt I have the patience for the fingernail manner.

Have you tried reusable capsules, selecting the beans of your choice etc? It feels like an under developed part of the market with the popularity of the machines; it would be interesting to get a review of different reusable capsules.

Just bought this grinder and its fine enough to brew turkish style. My only complain grinder itself is too heavy

I’m pretty impressed with the static control in your grind/beans. Mine tends to get super staticky and drives me nuts when I forget to add a couple drops of water. Do you have any recommendations on dial settings for the common brewing methods? French press, aeropress, v60? Also, how often do you clean the grinder?

I think as soon as you are adding in scales and faff then the essential idea of the simplicity of using a pod machine is lost. I would only buy one for the "lazy" procedure of popping in a pod and pushing a button (I am currently a full coffee nerd using both a Niche grinder and a Sage BBE or a Hario switch for filter). This seems to be the least expensive way of getting close to "proper" coffee with no faff.

Those who discovered the de-chaffing importance, please check the AirMill grinder design. If you have tinkering skills maybe you can adapt its innards to your actual grinder. Imo, such separator should exist available for any grinder, as an adapter between portafilter and grinder exhaust. Would be probably the greatest accessory in this niche ever.

He definitely ground way too coarsely and pulling the shot too fast (or like you said, severely under dosed the coffee). The other funny part you didn't mention, is when steaming the coffee he submerges the steam wand, but also submerges the other pipe which is aimed towards the drip tray it's just for the emergency relief if boiler pressure builds up too high it will release steam.

Most of us have pressurized baskets so the moka setting should probably be fine for espresso like drink

What a faff! Can't see any benefit in this kit

Without watching the video, I'll make a guess that, no, it doesn't replace the Aeropress. Why would you want to replace the Aeropress anyway. It's one of the easiest, most cost effective ways of brewing a nice cup of coffee.

Your sound levels are out of control. I have to turn the volume way up to hear you speak, then you turn music up and blast my ears out. Unacceptable.

It seems to matter a LOT to me. I dechaffed coffee for the first time yesterday and the difference it made blew my mind. There is also a much faster way to dechaff. Grind your beans, and then step outside. Blow softly on the beans and any chaff on the top will quickly fly up and go everywhere. Toss the beans a few times and repeat until you can't see any more chaff. Once you get a routine going, you can remove almost all the chaff in just a couple of minutes. I expect I won't always want to do this process, but if I have the time and the motivation I am absolutely going to do it. I tested this technique again on 4 different cups of coffee this morning, and even my wife (who is not a coffee afficianado like me) could tell the difference.

Nice, but replace the AeroPress? Never.

jeez...you'd have to nuke the resulting coffee in the microwave by the end of it. or use a quality insulated mug! 😬

Thanks for the video. I’ve been curious about the Tricolate. Concerning the Aeropress: The designer/maker of the Aeropress actually intended that bypass water be added to achieve the desired result.

Pretty fair grinder! Not fair!!🖖

I've been using the same version of Tricolate (v5) for about 5 months now. I found that I get better results with several things in mind. 1. go for 1:10 to 1:12 ratio. you usually don't get good results with a high extraction ratio unless you use really high-quality beans. and high ratio extraction usually results in astringent cups due to too long brewing time. you'll get better results with a total brewing time between 2:30 to 5:00, depending on the quality and roasting level of the coffee you use. (darker the shorter) 2. make sure to level the coffee bed as much as possible. 3. wwdt(wet weiss distribution) makes the final cup more even. my recipe for medium roasted Guatemalan SHB washed is like this. 20g of coffee, grind just a little bit finer than v60. 200g of water at 88 celsius. 00:00 - 00:45 *slowly* pour 40g to bloom 00:45 - 03:00 pour 160g then wwdt. keep the lid open after the pour 03:00 finish, add 40g ~ 100g of water to your preference. you intentionally add the water to the evenly extracted, no-bypassed result, so you can control the level of dilution that happens unintentionally in v60 and other drippers with bypass. resulting in the same ratio of v60, but more concentrated cups from Tricolate.

This just looks dumb. Like the opposite of a clever dripper. A dumb dripper.

Time to ditch coffee

by the time the Tricolate finishes brewing, an Aeropress could've gone and make a few cups more. i aint saying this tool is useless, it's just that this brewer and the Aeropress functions differently that it shouldnt be compared, but complement each other.

This is agonizingly slow, even the reviewer pulled it early. I can not see this even being close to replacing the Aeropress... And yes, im one of those 'weird' people that likes their coffee hot!

10 minutes? The coffee is gonna be cold by the time you get to enjoy it.

I have not been able to get a good cup out of this device. But after seeing this I'm going to go back and try again. Thank you for your video.

Looks like a good product, if you’re not in a hurry

Very good video, thanks. Does the lower quantity of coffee used in the pods (5g), mean that it is less caffeinated than an equivalent weighted (25-30g) drink made using an espresso machine, from 12-15g coffee? Cheers

Great video! This is the first time I've ever heard of specialty coffee for Nespresso machines. Sadly these brands aren't sold in the Netherlands where I'm from. What I'm wondering is if there are any specialty coffee brands that sell in the Netherlands (or at least are based in the EU so I don't have to pay all kinds of import taxes etc.). I'd love to hear from you or anyone that knows!

I saw a comment on Home-Barista saying that the grinder is a Gaggia Sirio.

I know this video was uploaded a long time ago but it'd be nice if you linked the products or websites in the description not typing into a URL bar is a big deal but it'd be nice to link the stuff you're talking about in the description
