Dialing in Espresso with Sage / Breville Barista Pro & Barista Express
In my sixth video in this series on the Sage Barista Pro, I'm talking about (and demonstrating) how to dial in, specifically with the Barista Pro, and Barista Express.
If you want to skip the waffling ;-), scroll to the bottom to see the time codes, or watch 00:55 for the bit on finding the choking point, then go to 10:06 for the dialling in action.
By the way, if you're in the UK or Europe (including Ireland, Germany, France, and most other countries in mainland Europe) see: https://coffeeblog.co.uk/sage-applian...
