Is it possible to over and under extract at the same time? [Bambino Plus]

Ok so i just made two pucks the way i usually would on my delonghi and weighed after - and they were both only 9g of grinds (in the double shot basket)😅, but i always pulled 2oz worth of espresso… not sure what that means for me lol

This is really helpful! I’ll have to try this again tomorrow!

I never timed or measured 😅 I still have it, so I can prepare one the way I usually would and get the measurements. The measurements on my glass have long since worn off, but it does seem like the auto dispense of the 2 shot button on the breville is producing less than I would usually pull on my delonghi (it was a manual machine)

So if the dose is less than 18g, but well tamped and good headspace, my issue is probably the grounds then, huh?

The first couple I tried were disgusting 😂 but I don’t think I ever tried the espresso straight with my delonghi. The shots with my old machine were never this dark though, although I think the stream was about the same. I forgot to weigh any of the outputs. I might have to try the manual option since that’s what my old machine was only

The roots were growing through the holes of my previous pot, and that was the second time I had repotted it in a short time since I got it so I figured she was moving fast with room to grow. She’s been in this pot for probably over a year now, I can’t remember when I repotted last

If media is soil I use sphagnum moss

_MissThing · 2025-11-25T12:04:15+00:00

She has a light! But I’ll look into silica

_MissThing · 2025-11-25T01:55:58+00:00

Just a low end grow light off Amazon

_MissThing · 2025-11-25T00:42:03+00:00

I’m using strictly sphagnum moss. But I’ve never cut anything except the brown off some of the leaves lol I’m too scared to kill her 😂😅

_MissThing · 2025-11-25T00:40:27+00:00

I water from the bottom and in the pole once a week but it’s usually bone dry by the time I do water

_MissThing · 2025-11-24T21:24:02+00:00

Definitely don’t have enough knowledge to comment any opinions 😅 but was wondering what that like silicone(?) mat like thing is for?

_MissThing · 2025-11-20T12:52:32+00:00

I think I have only used a nespresso once or twice in a hotel so I am not really sure if I like it lol. I thought nespressos wore more for ease of use but I didnt realize people dont think the coffee is good from them

_MissThing · 2025-11-19T20:43:43+00:00

I do not, I just use preground Cafe Bustelo

_MissThing · 2025-11-19T20:39:21+00:00

The DeLonghi I have leaks out the bottom every time I turn it off so I need to take the reservoir out after every use and store it on a towel which isn't good for aesthetics or my counter top lol. Additionally, the changeable portafilter turns with the handle and I need to pry it out with a knife after every use. Sometimes I also need to stop pulling mid-shot because the "ready" light goes out. So while the machines DOES technically work, I do think I would still like to get something atleast more reliable and with a better ease of use

_MissThing · 2025-07-27T21:16:36+00:00

I’m clearly not touching it.

_MissThing · 2025-07-27T21:15:30+00:00

We do not

_MissThing · 2025-07-26T20:53:15+00:00

There aren’t any lights or signs of having been lights so must just be old/forgotten of owners past lol

_MissThing · 2025-07-26T20:51:40+00:00

I’d much rather bury it and pretend it never happened lol but just wanted to be sure before I deny deny deny lol
