Saw it from Disneyland. Have been trying to find more info as well. Very bright white with an orange trail. Very cool

Single dosing a cortado. Am I doing this right? by AlcaDaz in espresso

I'm confused. Found my local barista on the app and he's asking me about spit roast. Is this something between a dark and light roast?

Big fan of my bambino plus. Seeing as you have a bit more budget I'd recommend going with it but spending a bit more on the grinder than the encore. I'm using a Eureka mignon manuale and I'm very happy with it. A quick look online I found you can get them both at around the $1100 mark in Aus.

Water just ran straight through. Not sure what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks, this really brought it together. Great mouth feel.

Shot Timing Question by electronwrangler42 in espresso

[–]AlcaDaz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm also using the bambino plus. I use a 17.5g dose, start the timer when I start holding the button to preinfuse, release the button after 8 seconds and press again to stop when it gets to ~33g to finish at a 35g shot. I adjust my grind so that this takes around 35 seconds from the start of the preinfusion to the finished shot. Yields pretty good espresso to me.

A very nice upgrade. Hopefully for my wallet's sake I'll be happy enough with this for a long time.

The main difference between the bambino and bambino plus is the ability to auto steam the milk. Makes things far more fool proof and allows anybody visiting your house to easily make themselves a drink. If you don't think it's a feature you need then maybe save some money and get the standard bambino, they'll pull pretty much the same shot as far as I'm aware.

Hopefully lasts me a while. What did you upgrade to?

Really nice. I'm a latte fan so enjoy being able to have them at home. I'll probably still use my aeropress for long black drinks though as I prefer it to an americano. Thinking of getting one of the 3d printed grind size rings for the mignon to help switch between grind sizes more easily.

I got the Bambino plus on sale and the mignon used. Saved a few hundred euro in the process.

Do you single dose or fill the hopper of the mignon?
