      Don’t laugh...

      A well respected person in the coffee industry told me that to pour a long black you just coarsen the grind!

      His theory is that a 25 second extraction is what you should aim for regardless of volume so a coarse grind that will fill a cup in 25 seconds will produce as good a coffee as any other method.

      Therefore a ristretto would be a fine grind and a 25 second pull.

      Its an interesting idea that I’m yet to try but not one that would work well in a cafe environment easily unless you changed the tamp to get the same result.
