Hey All,
As I was heating my milk jug the other day to split into by pressing the manual button but sending the hot water to the spout by just opening the tap an idea sprang into my mind. Would it be possible to use this function to do some pressure profiling? The idea is, is that the more i send to the spout the less goes into the brew head and vice versa.. I have no idea whether anyone else has tried this but I thought I'd put my experience up anyway. I'm using a 22g VST basket and my family predominantly drinks double ristretto FW or just a Piccolo.
I've only tried it once by not letting any of the hard pre-infusion go to the puck and then introduce a soft pre-infusion and then ramp the pressure up. Towards the end as the shot started to blonde, i pulled it back a little and then stopped the shot. My FW had a bit more body than usual and wasn't as sharp as it can be sometimes.
(I am using the house blend from Clandestino Roasters-Sunshine Coast)
Anyways I'll have more of a play with this in the future. Just thought i'll put it out there for anyone who is interested
Thanks,
Mike
