I've started helping out a church try to improve the quality of their coffee - basically, since I have a machine at home, I'm apparently an "expert"!
I've got a decent grip on dialling in a bean and shots using scales and a timer, but I've never used a commercial machine with volumetrics before.
I've been told that the volumetrics has been calibrated and already preset - next time I'm in I will weigh the water from each grouphead to see if each group is pouring the same.
Assuming that the volumetrics is okay and set to pour the correct amount of water, can I simply forget about it and just focus on dialling in the dose and extraction over the target time?
I also didn't take note of the brand and model of the machine the first time I went in (whoops).
Coffee is from Commonfolk and delivered weekly, so working with good fresh coffee, but I need to see if they supplied the machines and did the initial setup. If so I'm hoping that I can just focus more on getting consistency in dosing and dialling in the grinder rather than worrying if the machine as a whole is setup wrong.
