Hi guys,
Im sort of new to this so unsure if im putting this in the right group. I have Breville coffee machine (150 bar) which I bought a few years back. I also have a the EM480 burr grinder.
Question 1: Im wondering what sort of temperature does the coffee need to be when its extracted through the machine?
Question 2: With different grinds on the EM480 will I get a different temperature when extracting coffee or should it be the same from coarse to fine grind?
Question 3: Would a higher bar machine affect the time to extract coffee? Is there higher bar machines out there?
Question 4: What is the optimum bar pressure for a machine? What machine would you recommend? Would the bar pressure affect temperature?
Whats actually happening is when I test just the WATER from the machine WITHOUT the coffee grind, I get a temperature of 70-75 degrees. When I extract a specific COFFEE (7 grams thats ALL i can stick in the portafilter basket!) I get around 38 to 40 degrees? A bit too cold for me!
Though its not the same with all coffees, some are in the 60 degree range when extracted. Mind you I DO NOT keep the coffee beans in the fridge and grind just few minutes before extraction. Would tamping and how I put my grind in the portafilter basket be a factor with temperature?
Can anyone point me out to a website that are worth checking out on HOW to make coffee?
Any help would be gladly appreciated.
Cheers
Jacek
