The million dollar question is is there A standardized recipe for your home Breville machine we recently got a Question through our instagram from one Of our subscribers he asks in the Breville barista touch could you please Do what number to put the grind sitting On how long to grind for with each cup Size and portafilter and how long to Brew for each Thanks for the message kobe we’re going To try and answer that for you today Stick around [Music] Hey guys i’m jimmy welcome back to the Rtc youtube channel where we guide you Through all things coffee if you haven’t Already be sure to subscribe to the Channel hit the like button in the bell Icon so don’t miss out on future videos Today i’m here in the artistry roastery We’re playing with a breville or a sage You might call it and this isn’t a Machine that we generally endorse we Don’t even sell them it’s just a machine That we’re fully aware that heaps of People have in their homes and we get so Many questions about uh the best recipe And how to use them to get the best Flavor coffee now i’m used to using lamb Zaccos i’m used to using commercial Machines and when i get on a home Machine i just have to make some Adaptions to make sure that i can

Expect what i can truly expect out of a Machine you can’t expect Highest quality Best version of that coffee but we can Do our best and teach some tricks today I’m going to use our champion house Blend here at artisti medium roast Really easy to work with very versatile I’ve set up my own little recipe in this Particular breville touch And You know there’s a few different Variations of these machines so but i’ve Got my settings in there right now i Have my grind setting to six I’ve got my grind set to a nominal Amount of time because i’m going to Teach you how to minimize the variations Between your grind so that you’re not Dictated by having a hopper fall and Just how however much coffee lands in Your basket i’ve also got my Brew time setting to 30 seconds now i’m Not even sure that that’s the right time Because i’m going to slightly manage That manually so i’ve got it set to 30 Seconds that’s really the most time i’ll Do but i’m going to weigh my yield i’m Also going to weigh my dose i’m going to Bring in some of the commercial things That we teach And there is some other videos on that You can go back and you can listen to uh See the videos that luke’s talked about

Time in extractions they’ll be really Helpful for you at this stage um i am Going to use the single wall basket i’m Not going to use this dual wall there’s A whole nother video that we’ve got on Which basket to choose we’ll put all the Links below to relevant videos uh in the Description below I went through their guide i checked it Out see how they teach you they do Introduce this Razor tool i’m not going to use that one Because it really Questions how much dose you’ve got in Your basket so And we’ll spin some milk So let’s get started firstly Dose One variable that i can maintain is my Dose and a little trick that i do with This so that i’m not filling up my Hopper and kind of guessing and Whatever time i put in there i’m Actually just going to do a single dose Straight in the top And then i’m going to grind straight Into my basket and let all of that grind Out Once i’ve select Jimmy So that’s going to grind out the four 18 Grams that i’ve weighed in there now I’ve done some tests and i’m pretty Happy this grinder actually doesn’t have

A lot of retention so that was pretty Impressive for me this means that i can Weigh in That’s going to give you a Bit of spillage there Not ideal You can see by the clumping in my grind I’m quite fine that grind setting of 6 Is quite fine You’re changing your groin settings on The side but you can actually change Even more settings on him So change more settings up in the Chamber by taking out the burs i haven’t Done that i’m just going off factory Settings so um i’ve got it set to six I’ve got my 18 grams in there Potentially less because it actually Made a bit of a mess We’re going to use their little tricky Tamp here A little bit of pressure not too much a Little spin off And we’re good to go So what you are going to need is a Decent set of scales because this is Really going to dictate your flavor now I will mention that I i did lots of ran lots of tests i did So many dosing dose out and and it Pretty well worked out that 18 grams is The most coffee that i can fit in this Basket Where it’s not actually well i’ve got

Enough room for expansion i’m i’m not Under dosing and that’s giving me the Optimal amount of coffee in my basket to Get a good flavor now i drank every Single one of these coffees some of them Were horrible some of them were so hard To drink i just wanted to know what each Flavor was like so i landed on 18 grams Of coffee gives me a good amount of Coffee to work with and it can handle The pressure especially once you don’t Want to just keep going finer and finer You want to work with your dose as well So Let’s get that up there Chuck that in I’m going to tear off my cup I’m going to start my brew now My recipe that i came to was actually 20 Seconds So we’re heading up we got a couple of Seconds in we should see that drop Now i definitely found the best flavor Part of this shot was always in the First start of a shot so when we talk About Normal and we talk about a one to two Ratio i actually found that was somewhat Too much coffee in my baskets i really Actually want 30 grams of yield which Means i kind of need to stop that Brewing early and you’ll see that roll Up to that 30 grams that took me 25 Seconds

So My next adjustment Because i got 25 seconds the one that i Tasted earlier that i was most happy With was more like 20 seconds i found That whenever i use Domestic home machines I just can’t get the same extraction Time that i do commercially i don’t have Pre-infusion I don’t have good No pressure control in my head so i do Find that i’ll tend to run faster shots More than slower ones on the home Machine so you’ll find that the flavor’s Better for that So there we go we’ve got a 25 second extraction 30 grams of coffee It’s actually not bad at all And i can taste the nuances that i’m Used to tasting and champion those sweet Flavor profiles there’s a good body There you’re trying to get that balance There’s maybe a bit of a high acidity And bitterness there from going what i Would say over extracted if my recipe is 20 seconds and i got 25 seconds So i’m currently on six Next one Actually you want to speed up that Extraction so i go slightly coarser just One click coarser i run another shot i’d Keep my 18 grams of busk 18 grams of

Coffee into my basket i’d still weigh my Shot out So that i know i can turn that off when I get my 30 grams of yield And once i know That i’ve actually achieved that in 20 Seconds i could actually change this Setting to be a 20 second brew so that Tomorrow i could pretty well chuck that In do the same thing hit my brew and Walk away and i’m going to pretty well Nail that 30 grams of yield in the cup Again and that’s what these machines are Good for they’re built for Not necessarily consistency because There is always variations in coffee but They’re built for automation and speed And they just make your life easier so If you want to make the best version of Coffee of course upgrade to an even Better home machine go do a boiler go Into the more nitty gritty but you’ll Find that they actually become more Manual because you’re needing to be more Hands-on and and the more you learn About coffee the more videos of hours You watch And you see lots of great You just learn more about coffee you’ll Actually find that you want to break Outside of the pre-settings and the Manual The the way that they come out of the Box and you’ve got to learn you’ve got

To play and you’ve got to drink it all So Let’s also just Do some milk now this is one thing that This is totally out of my area um is Automation on milk so i’m going to chuck That in there i’ve got enough for my Small cup Hit that button and this Is Nice I just feel like i’m cheating a little Bit It goes against everything i Teach and stand for I did put a thermometer in an early one And i was pretty impressed that the Temperature was good and this is where If if you’re New to the home barista area this is Gonna this is potentially gonna help you Make a more consistently well-heated Milk and and froth but again you’re not Learning that skill as a barista and if You if you want to do that as a career Or really improve your skills or just Show off to your friends This is Not how to do it So Let’s have a look All right So there is our milk of course we’ve got To get that uh clean

Self-purging To be honest I’m actually pretty impressed with that Milk i’ve got to say i’ve seen a lot Worse on some other machines seems Something a lot worse out of Um baristas so Let’s have a look how she pours Yeah she’s pretty frothy i didn’t i did Put it on a latte setting Yep Helps if you can pour a nice little Pattern there And that is a latte if i got up in the Morning and i got to make a coffee on That i’d be impressed but i’m Not necessarily going to get that cafe Experience that in my flavor that you Might be chasing Because i didn’t get that full one to Two normal ratio i’m a little bit Lighter on so i would find that you’ll Really struggle to get a really strong Cup of coffee out of a domestic machine Because you don’t have the dose to play With Commercially we’re working with 22 and a Half grams of coffee remember so you’ve Got a You’re missing out a lot of Punch and body there But I’m not here to review the breville i’m Here to give you some tips on how to
