Hi All,
I always use a naked (bottomless) portafilter to extract coffee
and notice that coffee starts to extract around to the edges of the basket, not in the middle.
I've got an impression that it almost does not pour through the centre of the coffee cake.
I'm blaming the tamper which is a bit loose in the basket and does not fit tightly, which leaves narrow untamped area around the edges of the basket.
I'm really concerned that my entire shot is pulled from the small amount of coffee around the edges and not the whole coffee cake
How to resolve?
It must be unnoticed on portafilters with the bottom.
Those who use naked portafilters, do you notice the same problem or your tampers fit tightly into the basket?
Thank you
