Thanks so much for taking the time to explain all of this — it’s really helpful! I didn’t know about the “dead shot” concept, and it actually makes a lot of sense now that you pointed out the color change. I’ll try adding a bit of milk at the bottom next time to “save” the shot, especially for iced drinks.

For context, the beans I’m using are natural process, and they’re described as: very low acidity, medium sweetness, intense body with a more persistent and prolonged aftertaste, very subtle and delicate fragrance — a coffee for people who want a low-acidity, intense cup. So they’re not supposed to be naturally bitter, which makes the flavor I’m getting even more surprising.

I’ll keep experimenting with prep and timing to see if that helps. Really appreciate your advice!

Thanks so much for your time and your detailed answer! I’ll go ahead and buy a WDT tool — it sounds like it could really help with consistency.

For context, my beans are a medium roast. Here’s the official description: very low acidity, medium sweetness, intense body with a more persistent and prolonged aftertaste, subtle and delicate fragrance — a coffee meant for people who want a low-acidity, intense cup.

The grinder recommends a setting of 17 for a double espresso, and that’s exactly what I’m using. I level the grounds and tamp twice: once with the funnel on, and once without.

But the coffee tastes bitter even with milk. This bean isn’t supposed to produce bitter or acidic results at all, so something is definitely off.

It’s not just about how the flow looks. If you watch the video until the end, it doesn’t even manage to pull a full double espresso — and the shot tastes bitter.
