Good afternoon all
I have a question. I have noticed that I am having different results when pouring a single and a double shot.
I am usually pulling singles only at the moment as I am the sole coffee drinker in the house. I am getting some pretty good results now, but when we have guests and Id like to pull a stronger brew, or pour 2 singles things can go a little pear shaped.
Fro my limited experience, I am fairly sure that my initial technique is the same - I use the same grind setting, dose to the same level, tamp the same - but the pour seems to be a little dodgey. it seems to come through a little quicker than normal, blonds earlier and definately mouse tails.
I am happy for people to tell me that it is just a technique problem, but I thought id ask if it could also be that you are supposed to grind different, tamp different etc.
I think its a technique, but lets see. Thanks all.......

..... well lets just say Im drinking singles now ;D. If I could get a handle on the channelling then Id be very happy drinking the singles I reckon.
........ but I still struggle to drink my brew without at least a little of the white stuff. I like the taste better through milk AND when I drink espresso it seems to take me a lot less time, which means I drink more of them ;D
