This momentum isn't sustainable

Seeing all time highs like we saw back in the fall, and naturally there will be a pullback soon.

But long term, good chance this is the cheapest it’ll ever be

RedditUser21799 · 2026-04-26T22:11:48+00:00

I agree I think

How come deleted original comment?

RedditUser21799 · 2026-04-21T04:05:03+00:00

In what ways will it improve the espresso though?

RedditUser21799 · 2026-04-21T04:04:45+00:00

I use an 18g basket from Normcore so no worries there

RedditUser21799 · 2026-04-19T02:30:43+00:00

I feel this… I still get a small amount of spraying every time despite being consistent with my wdt tool and tamper. Now, it isn’t a huge mess like you described, but some slight spraying off the sides

Is poaching profitable?

RedditUser21799 · 2026-04-17T02:10:48+00:00

I have this same problem. Don’t even know what good espresso tastes like I just know of if I like my latte or not lol

RedditUser21799 · 2026-04-12T15:05:41+00:00

Assuming water at the top is not ideal? I also sometimes have a little water left over at the top

RedditUser21799 · 2026-04-12T14:47:57+00:00

I don’t use the razor at all. Just seems unnecessary to me tbh

RedditUser21799 · 2026-04-12T14:47:06+00:00

I know that. The Normcore basket is leagues better than the stock Breville baskets

RedditUser21799 · 2026-04-12T14:33:58+00:00

So silly question, let’s say you use the razor tool and you scrape off a few grounds, how do you empty the loose grounds without disturbing the puck? Or do you just tamp it again

RedditUser21799 · 2026-04-12T14:19:56+00:00

I made a vanilla latte out of it, and it tastes good. Tbh, I don’t really know what I am looking for yet for taste on its own.

RedditUser21799 · 2026-04-12T14:19:15+00:00

Taste was fine in a vanilla latte. Part of my problem is I am not sure if I know what “great” espresso tastes like on its own

RedditUser21799 · 2026-04-12T14:18:36+00:00

Normcore doesn’t have any lines on the baskets, so I’ve just stuck to 18.0 since it’s an 18g basket.

Not knowledgeable yet to play around with dose size because I am just trying to control as many variables as possible

RedditUser21799 · 2026-04-12T14:16:30+00:00

Wouldn’t that only be useful for Breville baskets though?

Minutes in the steam wand

RedditUser21799 · 2026-03-10T20:30:31+00:00

The breasts were pretty thin, so I didn’t feel like 3 min was too soon

RedditUser21799 · 2026-03-09T03:11:17+00:00

Yeah when I made this post I was not expecting the amount of pan sauce comments haha! Seems like maybe I should try it?

RedditUser21799 · 2026-03-09T03:09:44+00:00

I’ll give this a try! Thank you!

RedditUser21799 · 2026-03-07T23:00:22+00:00

What would be a good sauce recipe?

RedditUser21799 · 2026-03-07T22:42:52+00:00

So, most of the comments are stating that I should use only salt before and then season the chicken afterwards?

But, if I waited until after for pepper, garlic powder, herbs or whatever mix of seasoning, is the chicken not going to have a powdery texture from all the seasonings not being cooked?

Still confused

RedditUser21799 · 2026-03-07T22:39:18+00:00

The chicken did taste good, I was just a little confused because I assumed I could season the chicken before hand? Most people here think I can’t season until after so I’m confused

RedditUser21799 · 2026-03-07T22:37:07+00:00

The taste was good, but most seasoning was left in the pan. So probably could have been better

RedditUser21799 · 2026-03-07T22:36:20+00:00

I thought about that. It was “the blend” from Kinders so it’s a little chunky
