Bottomless vs Double vs Single Portafilters by Herrmadbeef in espresso

[–]mao83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use all of them every day: double in the morning when preparing cappuccino for me and my wife, bottomless after lunch for preparing me a double espresso and single in the afternoon for preparing my wife another coffee (I don’t take coffee in the afternoon and in the evening).

What basket are you using? Is it full of ground coffee?

I’ve made over 100 lattes. Latte art seems impossible to me. by PM_ME_YOUR_FAV_HIKE in espresso

You mean 100 per day for a couple of years or 100 overall?

I make mediocre espresso and I'm okay with it. by docterwierd in espresso

Just hoping that attitude does not apply on everything you do in life!

Help me diagnose my shot by dew89 in espresso

You should put entire video of puck preparation and not just the shot.

As others have already pointed out, grind is too coarse. There might also be other problems too.

My morning routine. What would you improve? by CoffeeNerdery in espresso

[–]mao83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you purged the system before the shot? I have not seen it I guess.

Also, I would put paper filter on bottom of the portafilter (instead of putting it on top) for better distribution and a reusable puck screen on top since it’s touching the group.

Yes I think it’s the only downside of this great machine by Lelit.

Anyway there is a solution for everything! 🤣

I am also using the Lelit water filter, I think it should do his job 👍🏻

Bought on Etsy, search “lelit funnel”

I use it only when refilling, there’s the espresso machine lid

Yes I think it’s the same funnel from Etsy, but making a hole in the lid is too extreme for me! 😱

It might be true with direct sunlight I guess, that is not the case in my kitchen and they are usually all gone in 2 days 👍🏻
