========================================
Ever since quarantine, home-brewing has become my daily driver. As it was harder to reach our local cafés, I started dabbling into espresso-making and fell quite deep into the rabbit hole.
The first time I spotted the Noon East Coffee Maker, I couldn't resist its aesthetically chic and retro exterior. Best of all, the attractively affordable price point was what sold me. I've had the machine for a month now and thought I'd share some in-depth review, honest pros and cons about the machine and how I worked around them in order to try and achieve cafe-quality drinks. Bear in mind, the freshness of beans, a quality grinder and good technique are huge factors in achieving this as well. Check out my feeble attempt (LOLOL) at breaking down and explaining how I steam milk in order to create latte art for my drinks.
Disclaimer: I am in no way a coffee connoisseur nor a professional barista. So please don't come for me with your pitchforks! haha XD Let me know in the comments section if you have your own tips! It'd be swell to share and have us all learn from them too!

brewing tools mentioned in the video and extra accessories:
⭐️ Noon East Espresso Machine - JandAonline
⭐️ Bottomless Portafilter, Baskets and 2-in-1 Tamper and Distribution Tool all in 51mm
- shopee.ph/neouza_go.ph
⭐️ Stainless Steel Pitcher - shopee.ph/spring2.ph
⭐️ Timemore C2 grinder - shopee.ph/timemoreph
Not mentioned in the video but I would highly recommend you replace the C2's original stainless steel burr with their Titanium Coated Burr if you're using it for espresso on a daily.
========================================
Edit: I've been getting a lot of questions about the bottomless / naked portafilter.
Here's the exact item name and link to the portafilter. It comes with a free 16g-18g basket:
NEOUZA 51mm Bottomless Portafilter for Donlim,KCB,Petrus,KONKA,Gevi,Noon East Coffee Machines etc.
shopee.ph/NEOUZA-51mm-Bottoml...
⚠️ WARNING ⚠️ Make sure it's not the Delonghi version and always ask the seller to confirm if you can use it for the Noon East.
TAKE NOTE: You will need an ESPRESSO capable grinder to be able to use a bottomless portafilter. Use a burr grinder. Avoid blade grinders. If you’re on a budget, i suggest you start with hand grinders. Most of them are even more capable than electric ones without having to rob a bank. 😆 Best to ask seller first before purchasing.
I'll be posting another video soon on maintenance. Stick around for that! Really appreciate all of your kind words. Didn't think my video would reach alota u! Thank you so much!

I would appreciate it if you can do a more close-up video tutorial for frothing milk using the noon east machine and what is the difference if the pannarello wand is used 😊 More power to you and kudos to your content, hope you get more subscribers, you deserve it because of your quality videos (including detailed description, timestamps/chapters, and hands-on comments)

What's the size of the wooden portafilter that you bought ?

is noon east can use delonghi portafilter or other brand?

Wow! Just wow! 🥹
How long Does it take for the light to turn green
What a fantastic vid! 👌🏻 Sadly, I got the 1.5l version this morning and after just six cups have already filed a return. It switched off automatically for the first two times and the coffee was fab (Blue mountain beans) but from then on it would not stop and produced 160-170 ml of coffee-water. Tried it more times with just water to stop wasting coffee with same result. I'm so so disappointed & angry too. Be better #noon

Hands down! Best review! 🤍 Got my noon east 1.5L coffee machine, and I am having a hard time in steaming milk, good thing I saw this video about the pannarello wand and that was the thing that was making so much bubbles , I'll try it again and hope it will work now coz I love lattes 🥺 I hope I can also apply it in my noon east 1.5L, I just bought it
I need help. My machine won't dispense water even though I've read the manual 10 times. Still won't work, maybe my machine is faulty.
The most detailed review and way of using the noon east machine. I bought a bottomless portafilter because of this but I don't get the same result (no coffee froth at all) so I'm not sure if it is my tamping, the machine (same coffee machine) or the portafilter (which I bought from the same shop as yours).

I love this video. I’ve been having problems with my noon east machine. No crema at all 🥺
@VixenYoung
2 жыл бұрын
Oh no! Are you using the portafilter that came with the machine? It's hard not to achieve any "faux crema" or foam with a pressurized basket. Take note lang po that crema is a sign of the freshness of your beans. When I say fresh, I mean coffee beans that are freshly roasted. The fresher, the more the crema. This is bec espresso machines tend to use pressure to bring out the gases trapped w/n the beans during roasting which forms crema. Store-bought beans are sometimes waaay passed its roasting date but sometimes ma chamba din. 😆 Thing is, crema does not affect taste. If anything, it's more bitter. That's why you have to mix it in before tasting it. So don't fret! At the end of the day, if it still tastes good, it's all that matters. But if you really wanted to, try using a new bag of beans and please please please seal the bag properly or use an airtight container. It helps to keep coffee fresh and gases in. Hope this helps! ❤️

@@CheidMangueraDoesMakeup Ahhh ok. Now that's a different story. Hahaha It's true. This machine really doesn't have enough pressure in the pump. That's why izzz cheap and uses the pressurized basket. To counter that, I would use ample amount of beans... 16-18g in a double shot basket should do the trick and tamp hard so it helps bring up the pressure. Also, do you have a grinder? Bec pressurized baskets need really really finely ground beans. I also have another hack I use so that I can trick the machine into adding more pressure. I might show it on another video. Finally, the machine might need descaling.

@@aurasevilla2476 May I ask what grinder you’re using? Is it espresso-capable? The age of the coffee (i’m talking about from its roast date) should be taken into consideration. The fresher the coffee, the more the crema. As your coffee ages, you’ll need to dial-in your coffee beans finer every morning. Try to watch “how to dial-in beans for espresso” videos on youtube. They’ll have an in-depth explanation on how to get good extraction with crema for your coffee.

Is it not possible to get crema on the espresso without the non pressurised portafilter? I ordered mine still didnt recieve it yet. But I watching tutorials beforehand to be able to use it and yours was the best one so far And my biggest worry is not getting a good shot of espresso cuz then the whole coffee tastes bad. Btw are you a barista?
@VixenYoung

Hey there! I’m actually not a professional barista at all. i’m a visual designer who just happens to also love home brewing and have the tendency to nerd out on things honestly 😆😆😆 but to answer your question… There are plenty of variables in creating a good shot of espresso. Entry-level espresso machines like this are ideally targeted for home brewing beginners who might not have a grinder at home nor keen enough to go through all the aspects in creating the cafe-style espresso. That’s why, most often than not, they come with pressurized baskets. it’s more forgiving with grind size making it easy to use pre-ground grocery coffee. Depending on the freshness of ur beans, it is able to create faux foamy crema bec of the added pressure from the basket. Here’s the thing tho…. Espresso (or coffee in general) is all about the TASTE. Crema is only an indication of how fresh your coffee is. But technically, the crema itself does not impact the taste of the espresso. While it can seem that a good crema is the definition of a perfect cup of espresso, it is not as critical as some make it out to be. in reality, it is absolutely possible to have a great tasting cup of espresso without the perfect crema. If you enjoy your cup, that's really all that matters. Don't get the crema blues or think that you somehow failed at your attempts to pull a good shot. Remember, the beans, roast, and technique play a big role and one or all of those may not sway things in your favor. Hope this helps!

But now I learned the truth. Can you tell me which type of roast beans make the best espresso?

I also noticed that steam is actually still building up when the steam light turns on so I start steaming AFTER 15secs. And weirdly, it's strongest when the steam light turns off! Perfect time to create a vortex once you're done injecting air. 😅 Hope i'm making sense hahahah Sooo, tantsa2x nlng when it comes to technique. 😆

Hey Julius! Re: extraction time - depending on beans, i would usually pre-infuse for 5secs+ ( manually done by pressing the brew button. Once i see drops of coffee, i turn it off and wait 5sec. Some would refer this as a blooming phase). I would target at about 25-30sec total extraction including pre-infusion/pre-wet/bloom. Re:temp - The day i got my machine, i was able to test the temp @ around 85°C. I figured at that temp, i’d really just prefer darker roasts. Recently it's gone down to 75°C. I find that it helps bring up temp after backflushing or temperature surfing with the steam button.
