The Cay | Espresso Meets French Press
As if espresso didn't have enough variables, it's time to get back into the wild world of the manual press. Which of course relies on you and your understanding of coffee brewing dynamics to produce a proper cup. But today, we've got our hands the unique and under-the-radar Cay coffee press. Its like a French press meets espresso, but the question is will it work?

The UFO Dripper is a new conical pour over brewer that aims to bring those familiar clear and bright cup profiles while also being more consistent than the widely popular Hario V60. This claimed consistency is credited to its wider 80° angle and deeper air channels. ↓CHAPTERS↓ [00:00] Intro [01:24] Standart Sponsor [02:11] Build & Features [03:59] Brewing & Tasting [06:31] Final Thoughts Learn ...

Sonic S7 | The Newest Challenger On The Lever Market
7am before work routine? Wow 😂
Seems like a reproduceable 20s shot is 33% more efficient workflow for cafes... without a sacrifice in taste and a small sacrifice in body. I'm suprized this isn't a thing and wonder if this science is why Ground Control works as espresso.
strange, that you didn't mention the health benefits of a paper filter.. coffee always increases cholesterol, except if you filter it with a fabric or paper filter..
I don't do paper, simple to have less waste. My stainless filter kept me from using hundreds of paper ones. Like wine, I think coffee needs a tiny amount of sediment, and I like the oils.
I had a La Pavoni and never could get a decent cup of coffee from it. I ended up going to a "semi automatic" and prefer this to a (manual) machine that requires such a lot of input and adjustment.
I just use a 20$ mason jar sealer, far superior to this :) and you get a fun POP PSssssst in the morning when you open your jar of coffee xD also a lot of coffee bags have a one way valve, so I wonder how it'd compare to have the coffee just stored in the bag it comes with (as long as it has a locking thingi) and pushing the air out. also the entire thing is vacuum. so if it was off-gassing it'd just break the seal or stop it. I'm not sure how it'd work but I don't see how a vacuum would stop it if not help it?
You lost me at espresso is better
DA ASMRO!! ❤🎉
Waht is the overal dimension??
THANK YOU !!! Just tried 3 pressures on my Izzo Alex Duetto IV and WOWZA...on 3rd try I got THE ONE. Such phenomenal balance with touch of sweetness. I'm so happy right now! The machine came around 8.6 bar and I turned up to 9 bar. After your video I tried 7 bar, 7.8 bar, and landed at 8.1 bar. I make frothed milk drinks with 2:1 ratio between bean weight and shot weight. I almost always use a medium roast. My grinder is DF64 Gen2 with SSP Cast Lab Sweet burrs. I so appreciate this video for encouraging me to experiment. Better espresso than I even imagined possible. I thought I was there (already) when I upgraded from Breville to this semi-commercial machine! Trust me, that was a huge jump. But I've made another giant leap in taste today! Yay 🎉
i like some dark roast. a couple of nice ones
3ks for sharing your studying
Brewing 18 grams for a 270 gram Switch… is the 02 large enough? As always, great vid.
As a cuban I am probably offended
for $900 aud vs $40 used or maybe $50-$100 for a new bialetti
That sickening e-lectronic fake drum(?) noise as your background track(?) made the whole otherwise-very-good vid nauseating to watch. Felt like I visited a cheap old transistor Disco Bar from 1975 - Ick!
Can we talk about how to make a glossy crema?
That is a nice clear concise video. I have just gotten this machine from a friend. I have spent a few hours playing with different grinds and amounts but end up with the same result, absolutely no pressure at all. 5 seconds to pull and no bars. What am I doing wrong?
wow, new recipe again, let me try this
I cant believe your cc1 still works. Mine crapped out in no time. The guts were made out of pot metal. I couldnt find replacement parts. 500 bucks shot to heck.
What's the OG show/movie the clip is from? Can't find it for the life of me.
The show is called Nanalan
@@Sprometheus lol thanks.
So its between this 064s, the DF64V(or is it V2?), and the Gevi...Which one? The one? I can get for a better deal :-)
Butter in my coffee no way I want to drink that.
Do you have to grind finer to use with flow control?
Lovely and elegant! How much do you like the Lagom 01 102mm?
Have you tried it for moka pot and any recommendations on how many clicks? I’m using a C2 handgrinder and found 12 clicks to be best for my moka pot brew, but not sure what it would be on the Timemore Go though I reckon it will be lesser clicks. If anyone has tried and can recommend, please feel free to add on your thoughts!
Everything’s perfect except the size and form of the spoon..
Sharpen your blade.😂
Please when you make Asmr videos have a soundtrack without music please. It can get too loud and mess with the "ASMR" sounds.
Maybe back when you got your Lunar it didn't come with the feet? Mine came with two sets of feet one for easy sliding the other is grippier padding which is what I used. You need to apply them yourself. It is kind of annoying how the Lunar is so sensitive to small changes even after playing with the sensitivity settings it didn't seem to change much. But I think I got used to it. The espresso auto timing start and stop mode has been the most reliable/ smart on mine vs Hiroia Jimmy which would often get confused when espresso flows too slow. Cheaper scales sometimes have an auto start timing feature but not auto stop so you gotta remember to pay attention and stop it manually. I believe the older black mirror scale was like that not sure but they may have improved that now.
If the semi-auto machine goes away could you see the distinction becoming super-auto vs lever machines ? Super auto for 95% of cafes for convenience and repeatability and the the remaining 5% make "manual, oldschool, handcrafted" coffee that still heavily relies on barista skill with lever machines?
I love my dark roast coffee. I used to drink medium roast but have graduated to the dark roast and brew with a vintage glass PYREX stovetop percolator (usually on weekends) then during the week I want it faster and brew with vintage Farberware electric percolator (made in America vintage)
Do the portafilters go bad? My 2 cup filter will not pass coffee any longer while the 1 cup filter does. There any method to clean these filters? Do they lift up under pressure, I have only been rinsing them after use for past year then 1 filter stopped passing the coffee...
I love your consistent and insightful methods. Very helpful.
Well, the judgment has come in from Amazon customers who actually buy the machine and not paid influencers. The jury agrees that the machine is rubbish, the case is closed.
Wasn’t paid. Still use it in my kitchen, no issues thus far. But do whatever you want.
@@Sprometheus Of course, I forgot, all of you youtube influencers live only on thin air, despite that you look unusually well-fed, who do you think you are fooling
2 single did you say one for steam one for brewing
Looking forward to getting one for my coffee shop
Cant wait to try this recipe! Im about to place an order for a switch. Which size do you have and recommend? Thanks!
I ONLY need to know ONE thing about this machine and it is: regarding to espresso TASTE, how good (tasting) is the coffee (espresso) that this machine can pull. I already know that it can be VERY thermally stable throughout the shot. But, can it compete with much larger machines like the Lelit Bianca or even the Linea Micra? (regarding espresso taste only). I know that the steaming won't be as good as some other chinese out there that have two thermoblocks for steaming (one for steaming and the second one to get a dryer steam), but maybe that's ok for me. I care more about the espresso TASTE.
Please compare after AT LEAST 20 minutes of warming up. It's NOT going to give its best if not properly warmed up.
UA-camrs always with their 'DoEs iT StIlL CoMpeTe in 202X??' It's not like they're inventing new beans, is it?
It's been 3 months since this video dropped and still no long-term review of the Sailor Moon shirt
Let's dive into the Oxo Compact Cold Brew. Like to know what you think.
What would be a good grinder to pair with this espresso machine?
Very helpful to this newbie that received the Switch’ as gift.
I'm just waiting for the Chinese to come up with a Decent killer, strange that it's taking a while considering gaggiuino and Kafmasino shows how cheap you can make a machine similar to a Decent.
My shots average 2 minutes 😢 what could be my issue?
Does any one recommend the cross land ?
An Americano is just inferior to a well made pour over. It just does't make sense. You can have a long coffee drink that is just better with less effort....this is a drink I don't get. A pour over is complex but thin, an espresso is a but one dimensional but rich... an americano is one dimensional and thin... so why would I want one?
Reviewing a scale...not checking if the scales are accurate. Amazing.
PERSONALLY, IT WORKS FOR ME WITH LOW DOSES (14G-17G) AND SHORT TIMES (23-28S). GENERALLY WITH 1:2 RATIO
