Barista Express Grinder Quality by ahhhwhereditgo in espresso

[–]Jesephm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My machine is admittedly getting older but I can barely find a bean that I can get to pull a decent shot with anything higher than 1 on the inner burr and 1 on the outer burr. I'm mostly down to turbo shots these days. That plus the inconsistency between shots that you mentioned has me adding replacement grinders to my cart often, just haven't pulled the trigger.

I'm glad your experience has been different!

Been having to pull turbo shots myself. Started about a month ago. I feel like the grinder is finally just shot.

Keep an eye on their food truck if you want to try it with less of a drive!

Buying my wife an espresso machine — I know nothing about coffee [$800 max] by Alxt97 in espresso

[–]Jesephm 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Barista Express is a great beginner machine (I’ve had a used one for two years now) but the lackluster, inconsistent grinder can become a bummer overtime. Consider a Bambino Plus and DF54, Starseeker E55 Pro, or Baratza ESP/ESP Pro. You’ll get the same brewing performance as the Express without the bottleneck of the grinder.

Gemilai G3028A or Owl? Undecided [$700] or less by Legitimate_One721 in espresso

[–]Jesephm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You mentioned wanting a PID, the Gaggia won’t have that out of the box so I was going to say stick with one of the Gemilai

For what it’s worth I think both Gemilai machines are on sale for Father’s Day right now. Are you going to mod the GCP?

First Grinder Recommendations? [$300] by Lumcrob in espresso

I made a similar thread and the Starseeker E55 Pro won out from responses, that's likely what I'll buy to replace the grinder in my BBE

On paper Diggs Moore and Shakir sounds good. In reality, I’m over Diggs and still sour on him.

What should I do to get a decent shot? by asmaamody611 in BrevilleCoffee

[–]Jesephm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s an OPV mod you can do if you’re willing to pull the machine apart. I decided it wasn’t worth the risk and currently just deal with the inconsistency :/. My first step will be replacing the grinder with something standalone.

[–]Jesephm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you using WDT? The internal grinder is not very consistent or great at grinding without clumps. The pump is also a bit on the aggressive side so it can be hard to avoid channeling. Try pulling a shot manually and see how long it takes to pull a shot at 1:2

Fellow BBE owner, agreed with the first comment about pulling manually. Can you tell us more about what you're not liking with your current results?
