„ These are things I had suspected, but having gone from way too short of a pull to way too long (in seconds) by varying the grind, I wasn't sure what else I could do. He did mention that I should take a look at http://www2.lucidcafe.com/lucidcafe/cafeforum/factors.html David Schomer "Factors in a Perfect Cup (of espresso)" where he offers some tips on attaining perfection including some images of a "perfect pour." His pour was thick, dark, and flowed like hot honey whereas my pulls were thinner, much lighter in color, and flowed like hot water.“

„ We discussed the quality of the espresso we were tasting and agreed that, to the best of ourknowledge, there was not a coffee shop or commercial establishment in our county whereespresso of this quality could be had, and that neither of us were brave enough to order straightespresso anywhere in the area.“

„ Another change is that I am grinding (relatively) finer now by about one click than I had previously. I am now achieving a twenty-five second double shot that is never more than two ounces, and usually just a little short of that. I find that the pull starts darker, and stays dark longer as well. Near the end of the pull as the stream of espresso gets light in color, it still contains streaks of darker colors where before it became a light colored stream with no other color definition.“

„, and tried again with a grind set two clicks coarser on the Rocky. This pulled in about 22 seconds or so (time counted in my head this AM), it had crema that filled about 3/4 of the shots in the beginning, the crema separated in a beautiful upwards cascade of color and dynamic action, and the double was delicious. This straight espresso had just a hint of bitterness. The nasty acidic taste from yesterday's under-roast was gone showing that I had roasted past the acidic stage with this batch.“

„If a spotless kitchen is a priority in your life, I would suggest that you think about going out and buying your espresso at a coffee shop. If you brew at home there will be coffee grounds on the counter that spilled out of the portafilter, grounds will be all around the grinder, water will get on the floor when you remove the portafilter or the drip tray, you will drip coffee when you go to empty the portafilter basket, there will be coffee grounds in the sink, there will be two or three (or more) towels stained with coffee each time you brew (find some brown towels, now!), and you will end up with a sink full of cups, saucers, pitchers, shot glasses, and more.“

„ I could not help but think that there was something wrong here, so after I spent nearly an hour disassembling, cleaning, and reassembling I gave it another go. I roasted some other beans and blends and all seemed to be working fine, so I weighed out another batch of the Yemen Mocha, said a little prayer, and started once again.“
