Hi all
Ive been having some beautiful doppio espressos recently (now Ive got my ddt sorted!), but have noticed that sometimes the first sip or two can have a hint of bitterness, then its smooth sailing all the way to the last wonderful crema hit at the end.
I ready somewhere (maybe coffeegeeks?) an article from a barista who cuts short a shot early or flushes the first few seconds of a pour before putting the cup under based on extraction quirks for different beans etc. Anyone had experience with this? Would this get rid of a slight layer of bitterness first up?
Have a great day!
