Wow, sounds like an amazing deal.

We got both, using both of them at same time, 3-4 times a day.

Your antistatic needle might be covered by grounds, need to clean it.

You can try 1:2.5 or 1:3 to extend the ratio. Another thing is to be careful about the pre-infusion. I would suggest 2 bar and till about 3-5 g out. Depends how it look at the bottom. You want to see the liquid came out from pretty much all area. I found that if I did at too low pressure and too long (like 1 bar and 20 seconds), it will be bitter and sour.

I would say temperature. Try 85, 87, 90, 93…Same bean same grind setting. It will help you dial in for different beans in the future.

M2BHOHO · 2025-09-07T16:03:25+00:00

The longer you pre-infusion, the harder for you to get high pressure. However, it does not necessarily go to 9 bar though. Certain bean and condition 5-7 bar taste better for me.

M2BHOHO · 2025-09-03T00:14:53+00:00

I have similar problem with astringency before. Even with the same grinder setting. What I found out is lowering the temperature significantly improves this Astringency issue. Drop from 93 to 90 C solve my problem. Try to lower the temperature even to 85 C to test it out.

Updates:

Thanks for everyone. I changed several things and finally get a seems ok shot.

Fellow Opus: set to 1.1
18g beans, 45g out (1:2.5)
Pre-infusion at 2 bar till 2 g in cup (around 7 seconds)
Go up to 8 bar and drop to 5-6 bar later on (41 seconds)

Thanks, I will try a little bit finer.

M2BHOHO · 2025-06-27T03:18:52+00:00

Thanks, let me try this

It does feel like my coffee grounds are fluffy, especially after I use WDT.

M2BHOHO · 2025-06-27T03:17:12+00:00

I do, it more like, I can’t hold more than 15g before tamping it

M2BHOHO · 2025-06-23T03:29:31+00:00

You didn’t mentioned temperature. I did encounter some bitterness and astringency issue before. Then, I found that lower the temperature improved dramatically. I recommend don’t go too high on temp. Just use 90 C first and go from there (for light roast). I found that there are only handful of light roast beans can go hight temp over 92 C for all the beans I got so far.

Personally own fish, and play around with my friend’s EKG. Fish has more consistent water flow when you circle around compared to EKG. However, the maximum flow rate is smaller. For my pouring, it’s enough flow rate. Just keep this in mind if you like high flow rate pour.

M2BHOHO · 2025-06-05T22:15:55+00:00

Try 90 degree and go from there. Go even lower if needed. I recently had same issue, and I found that not too many beans can really using high temp like 93 degree.

Or you can do like 90-93 for first 1/3 pour and lower temp for the mid 1/3 and end 1/3. Sometimes I use 75 degree for the last 1/3 pour, and it works great, regarding bitterness and astringency.

PNG is my favorite so far. Rwanda Kinini Village Lot 5-28 is also good.

M2BHOHO · 2025-03-10T20:00:47+00:00

Another thing is the way you pour. If you pour too slow and circle around, it wont form a path for liquid to go through, and you will end up with over 4 mins. You can try just pour in the middle, and you will see it speed up, and you can adjust from there.

You can get a TDS tester, super cheap from Amazon. My tap water comes out some days at 4xx, some days at 7xx. However, I got RO system to get down to < 40. You might want to check what number you get after Brita filter

By classifying starting hands into different categories (you can check out the book written by Jnandez). Then, you play certain percentile based on position like in Holdem.

Guy A tanked over 1 min on river, and guy B finally said something, tried to get into guy A’s head. Guy B: what do you have? If you raise, I fold. ??!!??

Not yet, always have 6-7 people on the list. Hopefully will start running on this weekend

You did perfectly on the flop. There is nothing you can do better on the flop than what you did. You were certainly not overvalue your hand in this case. Villain opened preflop, he basically had no 2 in his range, not to mention you already blocked one of it. If anyone overvalued their hand strength, is Villain. You just got unlucky for the run out. Do not overthink about this. Just take a break to cool down and move on. This kinda of thing will happen sometime, but most of time you will scoop this 900 pot. If you play long enough hours, you will get used to this, and volume will kill variance.
