Anyway, it's a fun little toy. Not for me but the usability is user-friendly.

Tamp lighter, interesting. So Grind finer, tamp lighter. You can't change the dosage though, so what do you mean by put in less or more?Originally posted by DesigningByCoffee View PostAgreed. Fresh beans. Grind finer. Tamp lighter. If you can't get the handle in - put a little less in. If the puck is soggy - a little more.
Cheers Matt
Also, I lowered the pre-infusion/pressure to 55 from 60

I wanted to watch the shot pour! Thought you had a bottomless portafilter you could use so I can record a shot or two from mine then compare......Originally posted by sprezzatura View PostAnyway, it's a fun little toy. Not for me but the usability is user-friendly.
Also, are you sticking your finger in the crema immediately after extraction? If you wait two minutes, i'm sure the crema won't be as thick?

Have you tried the suggestion above of letting your beans rest a little longer? It might yield a slightly finer, more stable crema.Originally posted by CafeNewebie View PostI wanted to watch the shot pour!

Of course the crema won't be as thick after 2 minutes, all crema dissipates with time. The thicker it is at the start, the longer it will last. Also cup size and type make a big difference to crema thickness and quality.Originally posted by CafeNewebie View Post

The crema's pretty thick for a few minutes. I ran out of coffee - sorry! Tamp pressure was 4 and 6 for time.

Oh man ... just roasted 200g of Gambella, cooled and straight through my Hario sock. Fantastic! My new favourite Ethiopian! It's almost a dead ringer (visually) for the Ardi.Originally posted by Yelta View PostI don't do 2 oz shots either, nor do I weigh my shots, my drink of choice is a Lungo, approx 80ml in 30 seconds, crema is never a problem.
If I were weighing shots would include crema, pretty difficult not to.
I have a Lungo in front of me now, extracted from 18 grams of Ethiopian Gambella roasted 5 days ago, thick layer of crema, viscous mouth feel and big cocoa flavours.
