How to Use Breville Bes870XL? A Tips for Beginners

The primary factor for espresso to have a good taste or not is our personal preference. However, freshness and types of the beans, coarsens and fines of the grind including tamping pressure are also affecting factors. There is no specific amount to get the best taste, even if you already have Breville Bes870XL at home. You are required doing some experiments by varying those factors in order to get the best taste based on your personal preference.

The experiment may not be as easy as it seems especially for beginners in espresso making. Bes870XL may be a good product, but without knowing how to use it, you may never get your personal taste. That's why this article is going to tell you how to use this machine at home. Let's see the entire process.

Adjust the Grind Size

It stands to reason for beginners who plan to adjust the grind size. Again, there is no specific size. The point is the size of the grind will affect the water flows when the grinds come through the filter. Either the grinds can be well filtered or not, your espresso taste will be affected. So, to make sure that you have the best taste of espresso from your Breville Bes870XL, the grind size needs not too fine or powdery, but it is fine enough so the extraction can be optimized.

Filtering the Grind Beans

Let's say that you already get the required grind size. Now, you are ready to put the grind beans into the filter.

When you are at this step, beginners may find some difficulties. Fortunately, this newer model of Breville Barista Express has been equipped with dual wall technology enabling you to get a distinctly rick cream. You will get the best results if you can set the grind setting properly and use fresh grind beans.

How Espresso Tastes Weak?

Beginners must do some mistakes to create the best espresso with Breville Bes870XL at the first time. Over brewing may happen. In fact, the brewing period once the pump is already started only takes around 20 seconds. Around 7 grams of ground coffee can create 30 ml of espresso. If you brew the ground coffee in the filter for more than 20 minutes, your espresso will taste weak. Otherwise, it may occur due to the use of a coarse grind. This is the common errand when the first time using Breville Barista Express Bes870.
 

To Avoid Weak Taste

In order that you can have the best taste of espresso, the brewing time has to be carefully counted. 20 seconds will be enough. However, weak taste may also occur due to the too coarse coffee grind. To avoid this, make sure that you get a grind that matches to your Breville Bes870XL.

When you find there is no sufficient water in the filter, the espresso will taste weak, too. So, decide either you want to make single or double shot. Single shot requires 7 grams and double shot requires 14 grams. Less than the required amount creates weak taste.

Basically, BES870XL is easily used. Mistakes may happen for beginners. However, by experimenting and learning from the previous mistakes, you can create the best espresso from your Breville Bes870XL.
