This is my twelfth video with the Sage Barista Express Impress, and in this video I'm experimenting with full geek mode, and a bonus in-between method.

@richardhindmarsh9396 months ago@coffee_kev may i ask, i have just purchased the sage barista impress after watching your videos, great vids btw thanks so thanks! Ive also bought y id="hidden10"our beans this weekend) in auto dose mode my machine grinds 15 grams of coffee into the single walled double shot basket, ive done a manual dose of 18grams but there is simply no way 18g will fit and still maintain any gap between the puck and the shower screen. Your videos suggest this machine use an 18gram double shot but mine no matter how hard i try only grinds 15g. Can you please advise, am i doing something wrong?. ...Expand2

@paulanthony58015 months agoOne thing ive noticed is that i cant get the same shot or yield time or taste with just 18g. I have to go to 20. When i use 18g the basket looks too id="hidden11" empty. Im not sure if i have the correct grind size as maybe thats it? Its a medium roast but i have it set to 5 burr and 5 internally. Maybe i should set it to 8-10 burr to possibly have bigger pieces to fill the basket? Its just i see all these baristas with the sage express impression getting my results but with only 18g and i can help feeling that i could possibly get better coffee. Im using fresh beans an all that. ...Expand

@onthetrail20211 months agoYeah whats the make of the bottless porta please? 2
@
@SeriouslyTechy7 months agoInstead of slightly tamping and pulling out, could you not just attach the dosing funnel and then place that inside the holder? I have seen people do id="hidden14" that to grind into the portafilter and take it out without the grains flying ever where. You then wdt it, distribute it and then put it back in without the dosing funnel to tamp it. ...Expand
