Breville Barista Express vs 1zpresso JX-PRO

Use hot water and steam to clean. Chris Monroe/CNETAs long as you remember to empty the puck of spent grounds from the portafilter immediately after pulling a shot, give it a quick rinse, then flush hot water through the brew head, the machine is good to go. The drip tray is a cinch to remove and empty too. ConclusionBrewing espresso with the Breville Barista Express takes time, effort and practice

The one Zed Presto Jx Pro That's a mouthful. Yeah, we thought, would this be able to be my 300 espresso grinder? I mean, I was actually really impress...

I don't think this is essential for a latte, but if you drink espresso your first cup will be lukewarm unless you let the machine fully heat up (which is long after all the lights are on). - The default recommended settings on the grinder are working like a charm, so we probably won't mess with them much. We are using whole bean Starbucks espresso. - The manual doesn't explain the grinder mechanism very well

The mechanical action is very satisfying as it crunches through the beans. It's also nice not to have electrical appliance noise at 5 AM. I have not taken it apart for cleaning and frankly don't intend to. I figure if you're grinding a few times a day, every day, then it should be keeping fresh grinds in the gears as you go

Buying those same 62 drinks at Sbux would have cost $415 (not count tip I always leave so actually closer to $500 for 62 triple venti Ice lattes at Sbux costing nearly $7 each + tip. So I figure I when just considering supplies I used $30 in beans and syrup and at around $4 per gallon, I have used maybe another $20 in Milk so $50 total in supplies about vs. around $500 for buying the drinks at Sbux including tip means I paying 10% what I used to and have saved $450 ($150 less than I paid for the machine) in a single month on the drinks for me and my daughter. As I started off saying, it does take me 15 minutes from start to finish of cleanup to make those two drinks but it could be half that without cleanup every time but I also never wait in a drive through line

I think they're just repeating what they've heard from somebody else. It's a little bit the same as when the Android phone started to become better th...

Shot looked good, smelled good but had too much of an acidic sour taste to it still in my opinion. I’m using a breville barista express and filtered water, letting the porta filter heat up before and using a scale and timer for everything. Am I missing something else here to make the taste more enjoyable or maybe I’m just not a pure espresso drinker?

I had this epiphany as well! Got the 1ZPresso JX Pro and was shocked by the sweetness and clarity of aromas I was able to pull from the coffee.

The expectation for a great tasting espresso is quality water, give our well water source we purchase water for cooking and consumption. Would be nice if there was a better way to recover the dispensed water after use to be reused but since the tray also traps grounds, it's useless for reuse. For now I save this for watering plants.

I was using it occasionally because I've got a really great, you know, 65 mil flatburr grinder and so why would I need to use this? And what I've actu...

For me that's hitting the espresso jackpot each and every time! What about you? Are you interested in dialing it in too? https://www

For almost the exact same drawdown times (3:05ish on the encore 3:00ish on the jx) the clarity and separation of flavors was much more pronounced on the jx pro. Additionally, the encore's brew had almost a bitter aftertaste that was not present at all on the jx pro brew - this was really noticeable to me and. I did expect the jx pro to be better, but it exceeded my expectations, and I think its reasonable to assume that the regular Jx (which is actually the same price as the encore) would perform similarly for v60.

The temperature of the latte will be the temperature of the milk. Unless you want to pre-heat the cup before the whole process, you want the milk as hot as possible, but not so hot that it will alter the taste of the drink. Everyday usage: 1. Wait 20 min or so for the machine to pre-heat

I am having quite a hard time finding a good Kettle to buy. Seems like the consensus in this sub is Bonavita Variable temp control but it's sold out everywhere can't seem to get it..
