Excellent demo and instruction thanks. I'll get back to messing about with it.
I just got one from Amazon because I applied for a job at Able Coffee Roaster’s in Huntington Beach, California. Thank you!
Thank you for the delayed explanation and tips. I just got this machine and I’m in love with it! I learnt a lot from this video. I love how you talk about all the settings and make it so easier to understand. 💖
Thanks for the tip on the internal burr adjustment. It helped a lot.
A tip back for you: the razor can be used after you tamp and it will not only set the height of the cake (so it doesn't stick) but it also levels it.
Brilliant video. Thankyou.
Just got this beautiful machine today. Excited to try it! Just curious on how to go about descaling the machine.
This is a great explainer, thank you! You can really tell that Allie knows her stuff, and she did a great job presenting it really clearly.
Hiring people who actually know the products they’re selling? You don’t say!
Thank you for the help :)
Helpful video!
Great setup video for beginners to the Barista Pro. I'm loving my Breville Infuser I got from scg in March. I have it with the Smart Grinder Pro. 👍
Thank you so much for this demo. It helped a lot. Wondering if anyone else had trouble with a “too swollen” filter after soaking it. The cap would not fit on so i had to let it air dry for hours before it would even begin to think about snapping on. Even at that i had to work at the prongs to latch into the grooves. 🤷🏻♀️
You need to put the single basket in to do a clean cycle
Does using the 2 cup of water button versus the 1 cup of water button affect the taste of the coffee? I am just learning how to use the machine, thank you!
Good video, thank you :)
Best video ever!!! Mines finally perfect! ❤
Thank you so much. Very well explained and certainly covers the basics on how to get your best shot of coffee. Thank you for doing a close-up on how the shot pours out. It helped me a lot as for some reason I always thought that it not good if the volume is too low 🤷♂️. Since I use different beans then you do it’s just a matter of fine tuning a bit more. I wish Breville would’ve done most of the tuning before shipping it to me but the factory settings are way off. Thanks again!
After 6 months of use I thought I’d post an update on the settings that work well for me.
Burr Grind - 5
Grind aize - 4
Grind amount - 12.5 - 13
Pre-infusion - 24-30sec (depending on how many coffes I’m making…tends to fluctuate a bit)
Coffee beans - Lifeboost medium roast.
Great explanation!! Can you please do more video using this machine??
Hi can you do a video of all the possible drinks you can make with this machine pleaseeeeeee I just got one today and just learning 😄
Do you still need to use filter if you use bottled water ? Also can you used flavored beans ?
what button(s) do you press to get automatic dosing? Can you give a lesson just on the buttons and readout?
Just click it in once for auto, hold for manual. I presume you’re referring the grinder section?
I had no idea the filter wasn't for water hardness. Thanks for that.
Hi I’m having trouble with the coffee puck sticking to the machine instead of staying in the portafilter after pulling a shot? Am I doing something wrong?
I just got this machine and this video was extremely helpful, thank you!
I got one to these videos r so handy
Did you get the hang of it yet? I’m on day 2 and ready to give up.
Ready to give up what do u need a hand with?
Confused what the difference is between adjusting the grind with the knob on the side (1-30) versus pulling the grinder blade out and adjusting
I would like to increase the temperature of the shot but the instructions are very confusing. How do I make that adjustment?
Hi can i make a longer cup of coffee with this machine?
I couldnt pull this 😄 i think the kind of coffee beans affect this heavily
What color is the one you are using? Champagne?
I have that exact machine ! I never get "pucks" from the portafilter....it's alwats sludge...and I have to scoop it out with my finger. Banging it against a "bang box" doesn't do squat ! I've been using a full dose...not sure what else to do. TIPS ?!?!?!?
Is it 16" tall with or without the hopper? What is the height with the hopper?
Does that black back flush disk go directly into the portafilter or into the one cup basket first
According to the manual, it should go into filter basket: “Insert the cleaning disc into the FILTER BASKET in the portafilter.” The instructions in this video seem to be wrong. I tried doing the flush without the filter basket and the “cleaning” water was pouring out of the portafilter. It also took 4 flushes to completely dissolve the cleaning tablet (according to the manual you should repeat the flush if the cleaning tablet is not completely dissolved after the first flush). Doing the flush with filter basket required only single flush and the water was not pouring out of portafilter but went directly to the bottom reservoir.
@@jpny4750Thanks so much, I just wanted to make sure something hadn't changed and now i was doing it wrong.
I do swear by Ally and Gail. Thanks again for the response.
Thank you!. how to make hot chocolate, cold coffee, Frappuccino?
Hi i have problem in flush in first use,
It stops after 3 seconds and no water comes out
Cool video and cool CZcams channel 🤙
Great timing Allie and Seattle! I've had the UK equivalent (Sage Barista Pro) for a touch over a week now, and this is a really useful video. It's good to get confirmation that I'm doing roughly the right things, but more than anything it's been really useful to confirm the size of the dose. To confirm, I end up with about 17 grams going in after distributing and levelling!
Great timing indeed! Ordered on Friday, waiting delivery :D The black one :DD
Can you tell me what settings you are using? I just got my machine and don’t know if I’m doing it right or wrong.
@@elijahwoods5108 it very much depends on the beans - the ones I have in at the moment are: 20g dose, grind setting 8. Pre infuse for 7 seconds, and click to stop extraction at 35g in the cup which equates to about 40g when it's finished giving 2:1 ratio.
Just as an FYI, in the last hour I've just changed beans and dialled in again. Same roasters, and same roast level, but these beans seem to want a grind setting of ~11-12 to get a 30 second pull! So, lots of variation there.
Please confirm the burr setting for the last shot.
I thought that the grind (fine vs coarse) was determined was not done by adjusting the grinder at the top but using the adjustment on the screen. What am I missing? Thanks
Adjusting on the screen, is within the limits set on top. So if you notice the coffee is still to coarse while the setting on the screen is the finest, you have to make a adjustment on top. Once you have found the correct range with the top setting you can leave it alone and only use the screen setting.
@@Duk123123123123 thank you, I was wondering about this too
@@Duk123123123123 I agree but was wondering why she changed the top setting to 5 while still at 13.
Why is there water in my Portia filter after I have used it? Many thanks
Can anyone tell me if I'm supposed to pour out water from tank after use? Or do I leave the water in. It won't waste the filter faster will it?
Don't pour out the tank water.
i have this machine !! ive followed a lot of what youve said but i do have a question, i tried pulling a double shot but the machine automatically stopped at 15 sec instead of 25 like yours, what can i do about that ?
Grind finer. The finer, the more pressure. The more pressure, the longer the extraction.
@@bliblablubb0712
No. He needs to set a custom pour time. He said it stopped automatically. Changing grind size won’t do anything to lengthen the pour.
@@larjkok1184 There is no custom pour time at the Breville Pro. It’s volumetric. The pour time is simply the result of pressure and amount of coffee. The finer the grind, the more pressure resulting in longer extraction/pour time. Same with amount of coffee. More coffee equals more pressure for the water to press through the puck, resulting in a longer pour time.
Hi! Great video...
I have a question about water.
Is it better for machine to use distilled or spring water i.e. bottled water?
By better I mean... does it taste better and also is it better for machine’s longevity or it builds less scaling ?
Filtered water is the best.
fml. I can't know if this guide is good because there's no dislike button. fu google
Yeah stupid decision
There are browser extensions you can get that will bring the dislike button back esp on Brave browser
Chill, coffee break. You’ve had too much caffeine.
@@Bob-bm6fn no. fuck youtube
The woke only like to see positive feedback. Stupid decision CZcams
I’m a little confused on adjusting the grind size. There’s the adjustment knob that shows a faster or slower pour, and you demonstrated actually taking out and adjusting the burr itself. Is one method preferred over the other?
Also, the numbers, in seconds, on the bottom of the display that you’re able to adjust... is that for the duration of the grind?
These questions may seem strange, however, I have a neighbor who was just gifted this machine without having any instructions or manual. I’ve been trying to help him, but my machine is totally different having an E61 brew group with a heat pump & boiler. Thanks
She should have never gone into adjusting the top burr. She said she was at 13 on the normal grinder setting. She should have just said to go down in numbers on the regular settings to get the grind you need.
BTW, this really isn't a setup video the Barista Pro. She's actually giving you a general idea on how to make coffee in any espresso machine.
@@crabjoe Do you actually have this machine? The default setting that the machine ships is quite off and you will almost 100% have to adjust the top burr, probably more than once. Then you can play with the side adjustment when changing to new beans.
@@4tehlulz yes I do own it and I'm having to consistently adjust the top burr based on the beans I use. Its a PITA!
@@4tehlulz WOW, this is very interesting. I have been going to level 2 and I was worried and wondering how come I'm so far away from the default setting.
@@bmntech My top setting is down to 1, at which point the side adjustments started making sense and actually help me fine tune the coffee I was extracting.
If you keep reducing the ground it wil be a loose ground, thus the water goes thru too fast.
What is the number under the word “amount” i am really confused about what that number means. When you first open the Breville pro it says “13 seconds” what’s this mean?
Can I ask why you adjust the burrs before adjusting the grind size?
We wanted to show you how before everything was covered in coffee.
Seattle Coffee Gear I appreciate that, however to newbies it is a bit misleading as surely you wouldn’t be doing this straight away without trying grind size first?
My Sage Barista Pro starts at 8 seconds and is finished at 15 seconds, for a double shot. Whats wrong with it?
Im having trouble with the volume of shot. I have set the time duration in the menu then set the length of the extraction required but after saving the volume, it sometimes stops extraction too soon or it doesn't stop when required and just goes on and on until you have to manually stop the extraction. Is this due to grind size?
I had the same problem and spoke to Breville. I didn’t realise you had to actually pull a shot to program the shot. I was trying to do it just from the menu. It makes perfect sense now but to me the manual isn’t clear.
how many ml need to have 1 cup and 2 cup
fascinating that some people use scales to make an espresso....
I have the breville barista express. The single wall double basket gives underextracted shots no matter what i do (finer grind, freshly roasted coffee, harder tamp, more grams of coffee). I gave up and used the double wall which gived consistent shots. Thoughts on why this is the case and what i could be doing differently?
Have you tried brewing at higher temperatures?
Allie Kraft he’s talking about the single WALL basket though. Not the single SHOT basket.
Allie Kraft I will try that thanks!
Great video! I have the Breville Barista Express. I don't think I have the silicone insert for the cleaning tablets. Is that necessary on my machine? Thanks again for all your help and expertise.
I'm looking into purchasing a Breville because of the many great reviews. However, I am feeling a little hesitant because I've noticed some warning reviews that Breville equipment gives out around 12 to 18 months. Have you heard of these issues?
Mandee O brevilles are appliance level machines that aren't made to last. 12 to 18 months is generous given the quality of these machines. Get a Gaggia Classic Pro or Rancilio Silvia instead
@@rickastley885 People are buying these machines for the features that the Gaggia and Rancilio don't have. Not everyone wants to spend 15-20 minutes every morning to make a coffee, this heats up FAST. I get that the grinder isn't perfect and there are issues with it, but to say they all break after a year isn't true - I have friends with Breville machines going strong after 5-6 years, cause they take care of them and clean them on the right schedule. So instead of pushing someone towards a machine that has little in common with a machine like the BBE or BBP maybe make a suggestion that doesn't end up costing way more (You gonna casually recommend a Niche Zero for a grinder?)
brcguy h
@@brcguy 100%, people say the same about super autos durability. My sister has one that's been going strong for I think 8 years now and I often read people saying it lasts for a year until something gives out. Other than exceptional random bad luck, it seems it's really a matter of the user taking care of the cleaning frequency and needs
I took off the grinder to adjust it and now I can't locked it back..too hard..can anyone help me?
She said she was making a latte toward the end. What size cup was that?
It looks like a not-neutral cup.
Does this machine allows you to make 2 or 3 coffee back to back without shutting it down to reset?
Yes! You can make quite a few!
wife bought it, and asked me to set it up ....ahhh!
How’d you do? I’m 20 shots in and still not getting it right.
You need fresh roasted beans for best result. Costco bean doesn't cut it.
i just bought the Breville Barista Pro espresso machine. should i adjust my grinder ?
Hi! I'm getting a really small amount of coffee when grinding at 11 seconds, even on default grind size 15..
I have to crank up my grind time to 18seconds with a grind size of 16 and just getting about 16grams of coffee..
Is there something wrong with my machine? Or every bean is different?
Every bean is different. I think this portafilter prefers 16 to 18g only. Aim for 17
Same issue, 13s get only 7g
The internal burr adjustment is NOT recommended right off the bat. It was intended as something to be done as a last resort, or as something you could do if you just could not achieve the desired results after many attempts. I have the Smart Grinder Pro (2 in fact), and I have Never had to make this adjustment.
00:25 Lady, the reason I'm watching this video is to avoid reading the Manual.
I have avoided buying this machine because of the smaller port-a-filter. 17 grams is not nearly like 22 grams! How is the taste difference between this and the larger port-a-filters?
I'm not even sure you'll get a smaller or weaker shot. 54 or 58mm is the diameter, not the depth. Theoretically, the basket that holds the coffee could hold the same amount of coffee as a 58mm portafilter. It's just going to depend on the depth of the basket.
@@crabjoe
Theoretically you're right. However, in practice, a 58mm portafilter is bigger in both diameter and depth, so it holds more coffee volume. I saw in another video that a deeper cake is more prone to channeling issues and requires more consistent tamping skills. Since the Barista is targeted at beginner and not pros (despite the PRO in the name) Breville decided to go with a smaller portafilter.
I hope y’all reply soon. Just bought the barista pro. I understand it gets very precise. But all these numbers get me confused? Is there a way to explain it for dummies lol? Maybe I can call and have it explained to me?? I hope so!
Yo compre una igual hace una semana y ya me gaste 36 oz de granos de coffee . Te recomiendo un distributor /leveler & tamper y un espresso dosing funnel para que haga más fácil y consiente el shot.
I am having trouble with sour taste in coffee
No matter how fine I make the grid it only brews up to 15sec. I’ve done everything you did in the video. Went to settings as low at 7 grid size with 13sec and it always stops at 15sec. Yours go all the way up to 25sec. I’m not sure what else to do. Wondering if there is something wrong with the machine. Just got it last week. What else should I do?
I can't say for sure but try checking your settings and restore back to factory settings.
Same problem here as "Danuta" my brand new one stopped at 15s. I'm not sure this is a factory brewing time. Do we have to custom the shot and re-program the single/double buttons. Anyone please clarify.. thanks
Do custom shot
When i have done my latte there is almost no Coffee in my cup :/ and there is still lots of water in the handel basket :/ like it will not get thru the puck... Do you know what im doing wrong?
Most likely you need to grind a little more coarse. It seems like you grind is very fine right now and the water doesn't go through.
@@paolocoppa3435 stop using pressurized basket?
You didn’t purge the steam spout after steaming, you could get back flow of milk up to the heating element.
Highly suggest doing a purge after each milk steaming session.
Also, were you touching the milk frothing pitcher while heating? I understand it’s best to get the temperature of the milk up to where you can barely touch it…
Sounds like you already know everything so what are you even doing here?
use a fking thermometer. not your hands.

It looks like the Acaia Pearl. I would recommend to use the silicone mat that comes with it to protect the surface from scratches.
@@phosphor8416
Holy crap. It's almost $200. That's a quarter of the Barista's price. LOL
I don't know how good it is, but is 0.1g that significant in the consistency of a shot? Can anyone taste the difference of 0.1g, assuming all other variables are the same?
@@itsm3th3b33 The dose (how much you weigh in) influences your pressure profile and the extract you get... so if you would like to stay within a certain (taste) range, you can use a 1 g-accuracy. If you wish to optimize further and be more consistent, go for a chap 0.1 g accuracy scale - available from 19 Euro.
@phosphor8416
That's all theoretic.
1g is like 4 beans. The question was: can anyone taste the difference of 1g dose?
Sure, a 0.1g scale would be better, but a cheap scale, even though it displays digits after the decimal point, is just not reliable.
No consistency/repeatability: the same amount of beans will weigh different numbers on different days.
No accuracy: 18g of beans may read 17.0g in the cheap scale. Does it make you feel better if it read 17.1g?
@@itsm3th3b33 Google: How much does a single coffee bean weigh? On average a coffee bean weighs 132.5 milligrams. Which is 0.1325 grams or 0.0046738 ounces.
How can I make one decaf and then a regular coffee? Is it just a case of changing the beans and flushing?
Or you have one pre-grounded and put it directly in the portafilter so you don't have to change the beans
Please please tell me what I'm doing wrong... I'm doing grind 9 for 12 seconds and it seems to be fine at about 17g. When I try to get a shot it is only running for 13 seconds..... please help, I'm getting through coffee at an alarming rate....
Your grind might be too coarse. Set it to finer (lower number). Also, maybe your tamp is on the weak side (apply more pressure).
You need to set the pour time by entering the Menu.
My barista pro is only grinding one shot worth even when double is selected, it is also only pulling a shot worth of espresso when I push double, how do I fix this?
reset it to factory default. Someone may have messed with the "custom option" at some point and it changed the double shot duration.
btw the "shot selected" has nothing to do with the grind. Thats what the little knob is for. My settings are grind number 4 and 14.5 seconds for a double shot. just turn the knob clockwise to increase duration.
Okay I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. I've watched about a dozen videos and I cannot get consistent shots....sometimes I get a good one and I program that as a custom shot, but the next day it doesn't pour it the same.
Each morning I heat up the group head and portafilter, run a few beans through the grinder to grind out any old retention.... I then single dose my beans with a scale on my preferred grind setting that I thought was a good dial in, using only fresh coffee.. I then use a distribution tool and an auto tamp to be consistent. ..then I'll hit my custom shot which should be timed from my previous dial in session to be nearly perfect (getting a 1:2 ratio in grams of output between 25 and 32 seconds)..but yet it will pull wildly different each time. What the heck I'm trying to do everything the same as much as possible so why do my results vary so much? I feel exasperated and about to give up on this machine.
Are you using a Barista Pro or some other model?
By custom shot, are you referring to saving the brew time in the Single or Double button?
By wildly different are you saying that the saved brew time is not observed? Or referring to the taste of the shot?
J Y I’m using the barista pro and yes, saving the brew time in the double shot button....the brew time is sometimes widely different even when everything else remains the same and I’m pressing that custom double button. However i recently switched coffees and re did my dial in and this coffee seems to extract more consistently so i may have fixed my issue for the most part. :) any tips are appreciated
Jordan S
All I can tell you is that both the single and double shot buttons are volumetric. Even though you program it by time (how many second) it will stop when a certain volume of water is dispensed. You can confirm that buy weighing your shot every time. No matter how many second it took, the final volume of the shot should be the same.
And yes, you have to dial in again each time you use different coffee.
Hey Jordan
You arent alone. Im in the exact same boat.
Been trying for 18g in 30 to 36secs as per the Lifestyle lab video
How can I get my milk to look like Allie's?? I always end up with too much foam or not enough and she made it look effortless!
Stick the rod to the bottom of the pitcher and no longer that 30 seconds.
once you have the right amount of foam put the wand slightly deeper to finish warming it up
Coming from a barista, it just takes TONNES of practice and trial-and-error! Keep trying and adjusting your method, but generally, make sure you have the milk wand 2cm deep in the surface of the milk - too close to the bottom and the milk will be loose, too close to the surface and it'll be super foamy. There's also plenty of videos on here that explain it better. Hope this helps!
Can you also make normal coffee with this machine? I am very interested please let me know. Thank you
This is espresso only
You can't make drip coffee but you can pull an espresso shot and then add water to make an Americano, which is similar but has a slightly different taste.
I really want to program my double shot button to 28 seconds, but it cuts out at 26 seconds when I'm trying to program, so I always ends up pulling manual shots. What am I doing wrong?
Grind finer
@@jessywerner6817 it's on the finest setting. I want to know why when I'm in program mode I can't set it beyond a certain limit, but on manual, with the same grind, no issue
@@catliciousoz did you adjust the burr beneath the hopper?
@@jessywerner6817 yes
@@catliciousoz @alliekraft
You didn't clear the steam nozzle with water after frothing the milk.
Can I use a naked portafilter with this machine?
The problem is the Barista Pro brews espresso @ 260 degrees and no matter what you do to try and pre warm it it wont work.
than its just about making sure its easier to extract by using a darker roast or grinding finer right?
I bought this a couple months ago but something was wrong with the protafliter. I would literally have to use all my force to turn it. I sent it back and I only got on cup of coffe out of it. Was mine defective?
Bradly Miller mine is two days old and it was super hard to turn on the first day (like, it wouldn’t turn at all and I kept checking to see that I had inserted it correctly or what it was banging up against). But after a few tries it turned with a lot of force and it’s been getting easier since then. I think it just needs to wear in.
Too much coffee in the filter makes it hard to turn. I reduced the dose on mine and it is much easier and still get an imprint on the top of the puck.
Same here. The trick is first to heat it running a does of water only.
@@iangadget3848
You definitely don’t want an imprint of the screen on top of the puck.
I love how she showed us how to set the grinder AFTER we put coffee beans in it 👌
I had to take the ones that fell through out individually. 20 minutes waisted. But thanks for other tips
We bough one today still dont know how to use it 🤣🤣
Yeah that nob on the left side adjusts the grind finer/coarser idk why she took the entire burr off the top, unneccesary
I use bottled water. No need for filter.
so much for the setup
Why are there no videos for a single cup of coffee not double
In the modern day, a standard coffee is a double shot - it's what you get in cafes etc
I just want to make a drink, I am regretting buying this. I mean Jesus can I get a cappuccino!
Skip 22 min of the vid
Her in-dose was 17g
Her output was at 25s, she used volume to measure the out and doesn’t explain how many grams
24s is total time. I was always taught it's 25-30s from first drip. So with 8s pre-infusion that's a 16s pull from first drip!!!! Way too fast.
The steamer for this one is terrible, it's actually just mike warmer!
I was going to buy this machine as pods are quite expensive and I use 2 at a time but I don't have this kind of time also my Nespresso machine is a lot cheaper. Thanks for saving me a whole heap of money.
Where's Gail??????????????

Very helpful video. Also I tried to make a challenge for myself, to count how many times she said “SO”. So, after 100 times I just give up.
STOP THROWING THE COFFEE!!!
THE HUMANITY!
wasting coffee FeelsBadMan
This is insane. Literally everything on my machine is incredibly tight. Couldn’t get the burr out without feeling like I’d break the machine. My fiancé can’t get the portafilter head set on the spout at all, it takes nearly all my strength to put it on even with her holding the machine. Even the wheel to adjust the grind size is hard to turn. The water barely flows through on a 10 grind setting with 18 grams of espresso. Tried going to the 12 grind setting and it took 52 seconds to reach 20 grams of espresso. The grind was really not that fine either. Plus it’s extremely loud... very disappointing for a $800 machine.
Did you get it from us? Sounds like you're having trouble.
@@SeattleCoffeeGear I did not, I purchased through Amazon. I’m a newbie when it comes to this equipment but if you say it sounds like I’m having troubles, I’m definitely going to return it and get a new one lol.
Honestly hard to say. If your new it’s not uncommon to have a ton of problems that aren’t at the fault of the equipment, espresso is t easy. I’d follow your gut, if it seems like a hardware issue perhaps return it.
Id say you’re too heavy with the tamp.
Applying 15-20 kegs pressure as per the instructions is nuts.
Get a palm coffee distributor/tamper. Confirm your coffee dose with scales. The distributor/tamper will set the level the same every time so the only other variable is grind size to get your 30-35 second pour.
@@larjkok1184 Worked. Got a palm tamp and it changed everything
Ok i knew you knew nothing about the machine when you said its gunna fill the boilers and stuff..... There is no boiler, its a thermoblock, it doesnt need to fill crap, also dont store your beans on top, they oxidise and go bad. The grinders in the machine arent perfect but the bullshit About changing to single wall after your an "expert" is dumb. This machine will also NOT heat the portafilter at all because it doesnt heat until water flows through the head.
Also, dont phuck with the top burr grinder, use the side knob first. if that fails then go to the top burr grinder settings.
Coffee is not placed whole in the mill to be fresh. The required amount is placed in the mill for one cup
Why are some of them so expensive? I just looked at the price of this at $1200 it’s pretty par for the course for a premium product but they also have ones for $4000. That’s the price of a car. It’s for the home kitchen not a coffee bar!
Because it has premium quality (brushed stainless steel) and ability to make great quality of coffee
A good photographer can use the most basic old camera laying around that no one wants and take a good photo.
Give the absolute most modern and most expensive camera and put it in the hands of 99.99999 % of people and the photo will still turn out, well, just a snap shot. Ha ha
A few times I have poured wine and the person has complained or said that the wine was "corked". I took the glass back and the bar team poured it back into the bottle and took it back to the customer and apologized, then poured it out of the same bottle and the feedback was always "thank you, much better".
I am now convinced that corked wine becomes good again after the aeration and second pour....... (◐.̃◐)
this video is about espresso machine and you're talking about camera lens? you're in the wrong video buddy...
One other comment ( sorry to beat you up) but gee- you filled up the tank with tap water? That would ruin my coffee before any shots were pulled, and ruin my machine as well.
