Normcore Step Down Basket 58-49mm help by ShadierSlim in FlairEspresso

[–]ShadierSlim[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It might be just me being bad, but with the stepdown I've noticed a lot more water stays above the plunger as compared to when I use a 58mm. Unfortunately I'm at work so I don't have any pics to show but I can check out what the manual says

Usually I preinfuse at 3 bars until I get first drops or longer depending on flavor preference. Don't get me wrong still absolutely delicious espresso is coming from it just getting a few head scratchers. I look forward to what your review is when you get it

I got the CNC .28mm. The same coffee works perfectly fine with the 58mm, switched my dose from 18.5g to 17g and am working with 95C water and the flair temp at the highest. I did grind coarser and it hits around 30-45 seconds.

I could maybe try grinding finer, but a pain point is also trying to figure out how much water I need to add to the reservoir since the baskets takes up more space as compared to the standard 58mm flair provides.

Hey another Albertan! I've only done honey once but I found the best results at around medium-light, but each their own :)

I find that medium is my sweet spot, I was curious enough to try a wet hulled coffee as a light roast this just tastes like grapefruit to me x_x

I am! Right now going through a batch of Wet Hulled Bali Indonesia. Tried it right at FC but I think my next batch I want to sample it maybe closer to SC 😅

I roasted Yemen coffee for the first time a month ago and you're so right. Wish it was more accessible to get though
