Espresso
Everything pulling a shot: dialing in a new coffee, reading a sour or gushing shot, ratios, temperature and the endless pursuit of the god shot.
Starter topics
Post your dial-in for a coffee you're fighting
Share the coffee, your dose and yield, the time, and what the cup tastes like. The board helps you find the one variable to move.
What ratio do you actually pull at home?
1:2 is the textbook answer, but plenty of people run tighter or looser depending on roast. Where do you land, and why?
Show your channeling (bottomless portafilter clips welcome)
Spray, doming, side-jetting. Post a clip and the board will tell you whether it's prep, basket or grind.
