Varying the temp on the PID. This was done with a setting of 100.
It was tamped by a co-worker.

Oh nice.
What machine are you using there?

The naked PF makes all the difference. It introduces you to the pain on correct tamping technique

Hey, I used a Gaggia Classic with HasBean coffee

Only a couple of fissures, but the extraction was far too long. It'll really aid espresso perfection. Practice makes perfect.:)

Mr Magnolia

I'd always stop it 25/27 seconds after you begin on that machine. For a double espresso you should be using about 16g of coffee and filling 2oz of espresso in 25 seconds. If it's flowing too fast (which it is there) grind a little finer or dose more coffee. It takes a long time to perfect and you'll never stop adjusting so keep at it.

16g - 2oz - 25sec.

Enjoy!

Just curious - do you time a shot from the moment you switch the machine on, or from when the espresso begins to pour?

From the moment you flick the brew switch.

Fajitas!

I don't have my scanner handy at the moment, so here's a quick webcam grab of a Polaroid from 3FE today. Colours are still settling, so I'm hoping the browns will pop a wee bit more before it finishes...

Is he posting to Ireland again, then? The site still seems to say UK mainland only.

donnacha

sure is - i spotted that frlinux had got one from him so I dropped him an email and hey presto

rymus

how you getting on with the vario? I've been using a hario skerton for the last few months as the electric grinder I have isn't really up to the espresso task. Thinking of getting a vario some time before christmas.

I hate when it runs back up the handle! I was getting a lot of that kind of thing and two things helped:

1. Flicking the doser all the time while the grinder is running (having weighed the right amount for a shot into the hopper) and

2. (More controversially) nutating tamp.

Today's Bocca.

Nice videos, I really like the 2 with the naked portafilter, however I never seem to get the single stream of coffee from the centre, usually it's 2 or 3 streams of coffee. I'm guessing that is a consequence of not tamping correctly or something?

Also in the first video there appears to be a Nescafe Gold Blend beside the espresso machine, this kind of ruins the mood a samll bit...

Using a naked portafilter is a bit of a hit and miss sometimes. In my experience is all up to thickness, pressure, and amount of coffee!

Yeah, unfortunately not everyone in work appreciated the freshly ground coffee.

Tamping if often the main reason for the streams not combining. It can also be caused by machine issues such as pressure drops and also grind size.
Naked PF's are great practise, and some find the cup better as its untainted by the metal of the PF.

Made this morning. Loving the Belgian coffees lately.

Dusted off the Behmor for my first roasting session of 2014. Filter and espresso profile for a Brazilian Pulped Natural. Filter possibly a bit on the green side - time will tell whether its drinkable.

Turkish Coffee made and served in Cizve and cup set I picked up in a charity shop - I think they didn't know what they were selling me.


And here again turkish: If you look you can see three layers : The grounds at the bottom, the coffee and the Kaymak (equivalent of crema)

NICE, didn't know people were doing home roasting!! How'd they turn out? Is it difficult?
