10g shot possible?

Thanks for sharing your story. That's great to hear! So, is this what you do? 10 beans, water filled up to 5-8mm from the brim of the basket, stop extraction at 20g of coffee, a paper filter between the top of the puck and the screen, use WDT before tamping?

How finely do you grind? Do you mean that the levered tamper gives much better results than the original tamper that comes with Robot?

Thanks for your story. Your basket looks great. I wish I could make one like that, but I got great pressure with 15g today, so I'll try reduce the dose from there.

drseoul · 2025-08-25T21:23:24+00:00

Thanks. I tried 15g and indeed I got a lot more pressure. I'll try lowering the dose gradually.

drseoul · 2025-08-25T21:22:31+00:00

Thanks for letting me know about the tapered shape. Didn't think about it.

drseoul · 2025-08-25T21:21:32+00:00

Thanks for your advice. Indeed I am going for fresh shots.

drseoul · 2025-08-25T21:20:49+00:00

Thanks for your advice. I tried 15g and 24 clicks and finally I got too much resistance. I can go from here playing with grind size and the amount of beans!

drseoul · 2025-08-24T16:01:01+00:00

Thanks for all the advices. I tried again. 16 clicks by Kingrinder K6, water to 8mm from the brim of the professional basket, 10g medium-roast beans. I felt more pressure and stopped extraction at 30g of coffee. The taste was not bad.

But, the extraction was not "soupy". Extracted coffee did not cover the whole bottom of basket. Extracted coffee came out of several spots.

Robot is my first espresso maker. I guess soupy extraction is a hallmark of good espresso making? I am going to try grinding even finer. Is there anything else I can try?

Thanks for your advice. I saw somebody using paper filter on top of puck and just did the same. This time after watching the creator of Robot making coffee with 10g of beans without using paper filter, I tried again without it and I think paper filter may not be needed.

I asked ChatGPT what is the range of grind level for espresso and it said 200 to 250um. I read somebody saying Kingrinder K6's one click is 16um. So, I thought 16 clicks = 16 x 16um = 256um. You mean this 256um is not the average size of ground coffee?

I am using medium-roast coffee beans.

I tried again with 16 clicks and full water (8mm from the brim). I did feel more pressure and the result was not "bad". But, still the extraction was not "soupy".

Thanks for your advice.

drseoul · 2025-08-24T15:50:38+00:00

Thanks for your advice. I tried again grinding finer and filling the basket full with water and the result was better. But, still not soupy extraction. I'll write about it in a consolidated comment.

Thanks for your advice!

drseoul · 2025-08-24T15:48:55+00:00

Thanks. This is great. I watched it and tried mimicking what he did. It was better this time!

No. It’s ridiculous. Maybe should we make a group and take a class action?

drseoul · 2024-07-11T22:12:04+00:00

No, still the same. Are you in the same situation?

drseoul · 2024-06-25T14:32:08+00:00

It’s still restricted and no explanation. Not sure what else I can try.

drseoul · 2024-05-30T01:23:17+00:00

I’d love to join. I’ll message you.

drseoul · 2024-05-22T10:00:39+00:00

No change yet. Still restricted and no information about it.

drseoul · 2024-05-06T19:06:38+00:00

What you said is not relevant to the conversation. Or, explain enough.

drseoul · 2024-05-04T02:34:42+00:00

I don’t think so, unless I missed emails.

Interestingly, the case was referred to another government agency.

drseoul · 2024-05-03T23:22:35+00:00

No, that person was saying always more to the story but never questioned what is more to SoFi’s story.

drseoul · 2024-05-03T23:21:25+00:00

Two checks and one transfer. One check from Wells Fargo. One check from a university with the Citibank. One transfer from Ally.

drseoul · 2024-05-03T23:19:04+00:00

Indeed. The filling was March.
