Re: Naked Coffee

Depends, if youre talking about naked portafilters...Very useful tool to identify dosing, distribution and tamp issues. Also looks impressive when extracting properly.

As for the other, I think thats best kept in the privacy of your own home.

You have to be very careful where you place the portafilter, as it tends to get rather hot

Re: Naked Coffee

he he - ok now I see what I said could be taken up in a different way - although at my age I wouldnt want anything to interfere with a good cup of coffee!

I was talking about the cafe in Brisbane - and I saw a post here about special portafilters for naked coffee - just curious...

Re: Naked Coffee

Naked Coffee uses naked portafilters to make all of there drinks. They are a very good cafe, you should try them for yourself.

Re: Naked Coffee

The "bottomless" or "naked" portafilters are a good tool for diagnosing your dosing/tamping technique.

Some also say the coffee from them tastes better because it goes directly into the cup and not via a spout.

Re: Naked Coffee

I struggled a little with the right words in my previous post roknee (yeah I know, unusual for me).
I included distribution with dosing in my thoughts.

i include them in my thoughts too, which makes it damn difficult to concentrate on other less important matters like a thesis
