                      The next question is what beans did you use for your inaugural shot? Do you prefer a certain roast level? I'm strictly a Dark roast fan.

                          Love Brazilian coffee. My local roaster hasn't had any recently. I'm currently drinking an Organic Italian Roast Sumatra,which I don't think most people would like,but I think it's one of the best the best coffees I've ever had. I make a hot pour over with my Hario,Iced Pour over with my Chemex and Cold Brew for my wife. All taste distinctly different,but delicious. I use a Baratza grinder and a Bonavita "Goose" neck kettle.

                              @Chap It was definitely an interesting experience.  I pulled 4 single basket shots with each getting progressively better until the 4th shot.  I adjusted the grind setting each time trying to dial in the perfect grind for the beans used.  The first 2 were ground too coarse and tasted thin/under extracted.  My 3rd shot was really good with the flavour and volume being excellent and where I should have stopped.  I adjusted the machine for a 4th time to an even finer grind and the flavour tasted over extracted and slightly bitter with the volume decreased from the first 3.

                              My scale wasn’t delivered yesterday and I ended up guessing for volume of beans used.  Did I use too much or too little and won’t know until today when the scale arrives.

                              I enjoy the experimentation side of this and understand there are multiple variables in play.  Grind setting is the first variable I want to nail down and will get volume today (hopefully).  Once I get the first two variables figured out, then I’ll start on pressures and temperatures.  I made mental notes yesterday but I am going to start writing them down in a lab style notebook for future reference.

                              Maybe all of the time spent in University lab courses will pay off  😃

                                  @goosehd I don't like the single basket and do not use it. I usually pull a doppio. I never achieved a good result with the small one. 13 grms in the big basket. Yes in the beginning it is bit playing with all the variables

                                        Looking forward to dial in the Ethiopian I treated myself with after we attended a barista course on Sunday at a local specialty coffee shop here in Munich. This bean was one of 5 „training beans“ and it was the one I loved the most. Fruity, but not too acidic and very well balanced!

                                        Use it or lose it.

                                          Ok…here's one for you.

                                          I just pulled the best tasting shot yet and am very happy with the results, but...

                                          between the two cups the volume of liquid was not equal.  Is that because: I didn't have an equal tamp and the water went the path of least resistance.  The puck had no channeling and looked even, so I'm perplexed.

                                          Is this just one of those things that happens?

                                            @Chap Switched to the big basket and much happier with the results.  Thanks for the tip!
