I just changed a few bits of equipment after many years. Seems ive lost the ability to figure out what areas I need to tweak. I had a Mini mazzer, standard baskets - load up the coffee (setting never really changed on the grinder) level and tamp and most of the time decent coffee. Bring in the VST baskets and Kony-E, so far my 18g basket gets approx 19g coffee so its not full you can level off have to just tap and then tamp. Run the machine, starts to pour within 3 seconds, I have got the volume down but looks watery. If I grind finer, starts to chock the BZ35, tried my tamp, even have a Fancy new Pullman (awesome bit of kit) light to moderate not really much difference.
So I need some new eyes on this - as I seem to have missed something or see it in front of my face....I know am almost there, Yes tried different coffee beans too, the Kony-E is currently running around 6.5 secs for 19g-19.5g coffee in the VST 18g basket.
I normally have long blacks or ristrettos, so when the 3 second pour starts and then pulled around 25-27 seconds before blonde staining - the long black starts to break up. Yet some coffee establishments the coffee in long blacks looks rich and thick.
But either way I need to focus on my method and renew my thinking from my old ways - any assistance much appreciated, I know its a new Kony-e and VST baskets but still....need to check in for sanity check.
Very much appreciated
