Ok,
It seems that lately i have forgotten how to pull ristretto shots.
These are my stats on my rancillio s24.
21g of coffee
28-30 sec extraction
40g of espresso.
The shot is what seems to be blooding early though the shot has a sour taste :/
A finer grind results in the shot dripping out of the portafilter and not pouring and obviously an increased extraction time and (if allowed to go in in a 40g extraction) an overly powerful bitterness since it might take 40-45 secs to achieve this.
S24 set at 9bar, cooling flush performed for ~4-5 secs before locking in the portafilter and starting the extraction.
Am i simply just stopping the shot too early or is there something else to it?
Beans are beanbay decaf wow and i dont doubt the beans for one moment.
