Re: My technique - a video.

Thanks for your video that show your coffee making methods well. For your own use your method makes an excellent coffee for you. It is the taste that counts. Keep it up.
However I wonder what effect all that banging and scraping has on the final result. To me it is largely a lot of show.
I have seen participants in a barista comp use all this theatre to show the judges that they make more effort to make better coffee than the others.
I can’t see what over filling the filter does other than waste coffee. If we know how much coffee it takes, the tamper is going to flatten it out and compress it to an even consistency, provided the grinder has done its job and everything else is perfect.
In fact I have seen someone make terrible coffee following an overfill and scrape as they didn’t have everything else right.
Has anyone made a test to see what different loading methods of coffee in the filter and banging of the filter has on the final result, everything else being equal?
