53mm Portafilter and 3rd Wave Coffee recommendations
Posted: Tue Jan 31, 2017 12:00 pm
I'm a little surprised I'm not seeing this mentioned anywhere else on this Forum.. if I'm missing something please direct me...
I am curious how people are dealing with 3rd wave American style Espresso recommendations with their 53mm portafilter. These recommendations are usually 20g, 30 sec, 30g out. Do you think we are getting the same, or similar results as the coffee shops themselves using these parameters? Do you use less coffee, shorter times, or less expected espresso out? How do you compensate, if at all?
Personally, I have been using a triple basket and keeping all other parameters the same using an Espro calibrated tamper. I'm getting some pretty good shots, but I always wonder if it's how the roaster intended.
Thanks All!
