Frothy bubbly crema from naked portafilter

G'day Laurence...

What make of basket is your Triple?

Hi Mal,

The basket is an Espresso Parts HQ Precision.

The OP has stated that the beans used are b/w 4 days and 2 weeks old, so if that is known one would presume that they are likely to be fresh.

OK, after further testing it seems to be just the triple basket (in the naked) causing the problem. The beginning of the extraction seems good but then it becomes foamy quite quickly.

That would seem like a good place to start ; )

Hi Barry,

Using a Baratza Preciso grinder and Vibiemme Piccolo machine. The beans have varied in origin but have all been between 4 days and 2 weeks old. I have been using a different basket in each portafilter handle (a triple in the naked, a double in the double spout and a single in the single spout). I guess I should try one of the other baskets in the naked...

Cheers

Welcome Laurence,

Machine? Grinder? Are the beans fresh? Are you using the same basket in the different portafilter handles?

Cheers

Hi all. I'm finding I'm getting a very frothy and bubbly crema from my naked portafilter which dissipates to almost nothing quite quickly. This is not the case with my spouted portafilters. Doesn't seem to matter what bean it is either. Any thoughts?
