Hi all,
Just wondering if anyone knows what characteristics the taste of espresso would have under different brewing circumstances? For example:
Too cold = sour taste??
Too hot = burnt taste??
Too coarse grind = fast flow = acidic taste??
Too fine grind = slow drip flow = bitter, dirty taste??
Too high pressure (>9 bar)= ??
Too low pressure (<9 bar) = ??
Too little dosed coffee = bitter??
Too much dosed coffee = burnt??
Channeling = over-extracted bitterness??
Anything else can have an impact on taste??
My EM5900 has just been turning out some strange tastes (especially after tasting the sweetness and body i was able to get from a Silvia and a Rocket) and Im trying to put my finger on the taste Im getting and whats going "wrong", but having a little trouble!
Maybe I just need to upgrade
Thanks
