    There have been a number of references to naked portafilters lately in regard to channeling.

    As I said at the beginning of this thread I had a Rancillio PF made naked/stripped/nuded in June 2010, used it a few times (successfully) then stashed it in my drawer full of unused stuff as I much prefer the fully clothed version.

    After reading about the channeling issues people are having and the conniptions they are going through in an effort to solve the problem I thought it was time to drag the nekin PF out (over 3 years since it saw the light of day) and give it a run to see if my technique had indeed slipped (as we keep being told will happen) changed the basket from my usual PF ground for my normal late PM double shot and let her rip.

    Whadaya know, a perfect naked pour, seems I must be doing something right.

    So, it's back into the drawer for the cut down job, I doubt it will ever see the light of day again.

    PS don't ask me for a video of the pour, you'll just have to take my word, it really was good.

      I normally use the naked pf, but largely b/c it can be rinsed out from both sides.....just easier to keep clean, and no obvious downside for me. Oh, and it sits flat on the tamping mat.

        Wasn't commenting on the pro's and con's of naked Barry as much as the fact that my technique has obviously remained pretty solid over the years.

            Ah yes, the tamping block, my favorite accessory.
