  • Double ristretto procedures/stats

    For double ristrettos I use 17gms in a 15gm VST basket for a 25 to 30 mls in 25 to 30 seconds using an E61 machine.

    I'm interested in what others use as their dosage, basket, timing and volume. I know its all about taste and not numbers but I'm enjoying my ristrettos more these days and would like to experiment more.

    I do 18g in a 20g VST pulling 30mls in about 20 seconds. I find it tastes sweeter. Can't preinfuse properly with my GS3MP so just crank it right up to 9 bar.

      23 g in a 22 g VST and 26 g of espresso in a total of about 36 seconds (including 20 seconds of 2.5 bar preinfusion)

        I wonder what difference it would make if you used an 18gm VST basket instead.

              Hey mate, read your post again - no water, just coffee grounds. Gave me a chuckle.

              Enjoy your cuppa (whether with or without water)

                The ground coffee is not part of that measurement, right?

                  People making fun of my overly short recipe. 23 g of ground coffee extracting 26 g of espresso.

                    I have no problem with it. It makes sense to me . I was clarifying that the coffee dose can be the same or more than the weight of the espresso. It still has water in it.

                      Re-reading my post, I didn't clarify it well. My question was aimed at posters / readers who may have been confused.

                        Anyone else using a 15gm VST basket for ristrettos? If so how many grams do you dose?

                          All fine from my perspective

                              What basket did you use? 54 seconds???? Drinkable???
