I have long been sceptical about the benefit of crotchless PFs and wondered what all the hoohar was about so I thought Id better find out first-hand.
Received my crotchless PF from Pedro of Coffeeparts today (great service and really nice people). It is essentially a drilled/milled out version of my existing LaCimbali filter handle.
Ordered it with an LM-style 18G basket but found my own LaCim double baskets were a better fit (LM basket sprayed coffee out the side).
All I can say is: how wrong I was! Shots have a richness and complexity of flavour that I havent experienced before.
Hmmm, Im off to make another
