Espresso brewing on Giotto / Mazzer Super Jolly and back flush routine

[hugecookiemonster]

@CoffeeSlave01 Ok I will check out your other videos. I have a 1 group commercial Brasilia Roma Cappuccino.

I only have a video of my Gaggia Classic up at the moment but will get one up of this machine.

Regards

Chris

Good video!

Do the Rockets really take that long to steam milk?

My machine steams in less than half that and the boiler is only 0.2 litres bigger than yours.

[CoffeeSlave01]

@hugecookiemonster. Thank you. This video is from before I changed the steam valve and stearm arm. This Giotto is from 2000 and a lot has happened since then. I have another video in here with steaming after the replacement. The newer Rockets have much more steam power.

[winelover215]

Is your machine plumbed in?

[CoffeeSlave01]

@winelover215. Yes and with drain from drip tray.

[TheSampleLife]

i love that you have great equipment, but also how you keep everything neat and clean, this is a very good habit to get into as a barista!

[CoffeeSlave01]

@TheSampleLife. Thanks mate!

[jferbie2000]

You have a really nice setup.

[CoffeeSlave01]

@jferbie2000 : Thank you!

Hi, do you back flush after every shot or just once a day??

Cheers W

[CoffeeSlave01]

@valicourt . A quick water back flush after each consecutive shot(s). Chemical back flush once a week.

Whats with the music, much prefer to hear the sound of the grinder and espresso machine. Would also liked it more had you zoomed in on the pull.

[CoffeeSlave01]

@TerribleTony. Yes, I know. Original sound had background music with copyright, so it was taken out by YouTube. Check my other video - they have original sound ;-)

[markpianoman]

Sweet set-up.

[CoffeeSlave01]

@markpianoman. Thanks mate!

[fodera6]

Sweet. Thinking of getting an SJ. Found a great deal when buying one with a machine. Now I am trying to decide between VBM DoubleDomo and Isomac Mondiale. Happy pulling!

[CoffeeSlave01]

Thanks!

I'd pick the VBM in a heart beat.

[CoffeeSlave01]

Yes it's simply wiping grinds off the rim of basket.

[jackal2513]

nice equipment

whats all that repetitive stuff you do with your fingers around the basket edge ?

wiping the grind away from here takes one single movement and then its done ???

[fodera6]

@jackal2513 Are you referring to what he does BEFORE tamping? If so, that's referred to as the Stockfleths move. He already mitigated the tendency of the Mazzer doser to "throw left" by rotating the PF during dosing but he can further ensure even distribution with this technique. It has definitely helped me reduce channeling "donut" extractions by producing a slightly heavier distribution along the perimeter. Also great if you downdose.

Hi that's a Mazzer Mini hopper you on on the SJ?

Did it need to be modded in anyway or?....

[CoffeeSlave01]

The Mini hopper fits right in. No modification neccessary.

I love my Giotto and it is the best investment we've

made. Friends & family always love when we treat them for a espresso, latte or a cappuccino.

Recently, the other side for hot water is plugged up somehow and I hardly ever use the hot water.

I may need to have it serviced.

have had it for years and still operates beautiful and will NOT live without one!!

If you love espresso coffee's this is the best thing to have in YOUR kitchen.

[TheLeftHand77]

Probably time to descale.

[panhead88]

do you work for them? :P jks

you should upload some vids id love to see them,

[t30sxh]

Nice vid. How's the Super Jolly?

[CoffeeSlave01]

Thanks!

The Super Jolly is second to none and built like an tank. Check out the SJ mods in my latest vid.

[felixthalen]

This is great, you got great routine and feeling.

I can't see if any latte-art turned up in the cup, but I would take it alittle slower on the pour :)...

[CoffeeSlave01]

Thanks!

No latte art was intended as I'm still struglin' with it. Will get there eventually ;-)

If interested check out the newest modifications to the setup in my latest video.

[coffeeforcaffeine]

That was sweet dude, nice vid. I have a Giotto on order. Can't wait. Thanks for posting those smooth caffeinated moves.

[CoffeeSlave01]

Look forward to the Giotto! It's one of the most temp stable prosumer HX's and requires only very short cooling flushes. I take it your getting a Giotto Premium or even the new Rocket Giotto. Steaming on these are much improved over my old Giotto.

[jmhere07]

no probs its good to find vids like this on youtube there seems to be not enough coffee demos on youtube lol but cheers agin

[jmhere07]

nice vid demonstration :)

[CoffeeSlave01]

Thanks mate! Glad you like it.

[panhead88]

awesome vid!

loved all the little things that some people dont do. i.e flushing the steam wand and water, also cleaning the wand and drip tray after use.

at least some one knows how to take care of this little beauty.
