I have recently delved into the realms of coffee and while i'm getting great tasting coffee, I think it can be (a lot) better. I've read HEAPS of threads with people having issues all over the internet so I'm going to attempt to give you all the info you guys need to help me troubleshoot my issues. I'm looking for that perfect naked extraction, and wondering what I'm doing wrong. These photos are of how I typically do it, to be as real as possible for you guys to see the flaws and help me identify how to improve.
Equiptment
- ECM Synchronika - 94 degrees
- Niche Zero Grinder - set to extract 15g basket in 27 seconds from first drip
- 15g VST basket
- 58.5mm tamper (more like 58.4 measured)
Process
- Weigh beans
- grind
- light WDT with bamboo skewer
- empty niche container into the PF
- tap vertically once to help settle the grinds. I've done a few different things here like tip in slowly etc.
- one thing I notice is I can't just level off as the grinds are slightly below the lip of the 15g basket
Right, onto photos and video
