Hiya all!
Have often read posts here, but Ive got a question - Ive got a mokita combi, and have been playing around with basket quantities, grind fineness, temps etc, and have come up with the conclusion that I prefer a long time shor - 45 seconds or so with a full basket.
This length of pour, drips slowly at the start then after 20 seconds starts to pour solidly and 30ms comes up in well over 30 seconds - mostly 40 to 50. I am using a mild roast from my local roaster (his most popular) and I milk it about 2/3s to 1/3rd espresso - ie dont fill the cup. This shot has a lot more taste, not burnt, not bitter (like Im led to believe it should be) - does anybody else find the longer full basket shot has a lot to offer - or am i just missing out been that an espresson is a rarity for me, even machs arent all that common in my household!
PS - how often do people change their shower screens - I wonder how even the distribution is these days.
