Im still on my first star so Im forgiving myself for asking what might APPEAR to be a silly question... :-[
Im confused as to exactly what overextraction is/means. I know it has something to do with time (30sec?) and volume (30mls?) but people seem to use the term with careless abandon (Im being dramatic I know) and now Im confused.
I dont know whether its too much water through the coffee, water taking too long to get through the coffee or something else like just weak coffee? :-/
So once Ive worked out the exact definition (yes Ive done a search)... what are the variables that might cause it (I need lists peoples)? And why might these variables cause it.
Also, is it all the same for a double shot - just double?
hmm, I think thats it. thanks in advance!
If there is a thread out there that deals with this Id love to read it. I couldnt find it though.
Cheers
Meg
p.s. I couldnt work out what topic this question should go under sorry if its in the wrong place.
