5 profiles for dark roasted beans
If you've ever wondered “What's the point of profiling espresso machines?” and you're a fan of dark roasted coffee beans, this video will answer that.
We'll dial in 5 profiles, which go from fruitier flavors toward more traditional flavors. At the end, we show to edit a 3 stage profile to change the acidity and flavor balance with sliders.
Profiles:
- 80's - best for getting fruity flavors (raisins, red wine)
- Londonium (LRv3) - best for getting a full bodied cup without harshness
- Cremina - best for classic Italian espresso, big, strong, wake-me-up
- Best overall - best for milking
- E61 - best for balanced acidity
Note: this is filmed at the Decent Espresso Factory Cafe, and as this is a real factory, you can (especially at the start) hear pallets thundering around on the floor above us.
We made similar videos for 5 profiles for light roasted beans and 5 profiles for Medium Roasted Beans.
