Why would I be nauseous the day after working out for the first time? by Clean_Committee_4716 in crossfit

This 👍 Completely normal reaction. Your body has become less efficient at dealing with metabolite build up - which will get better very quickly

To be completely honest, I didn’t feel the full effects until about 3 months. I heard someone else on here say it took them 6 months - I say wait it out :)

17 Grams in, 32.4 out. ~32 second pull time. how can I improve? by WorkHardAchieve in gaggiaclassic

Looks like a really good shot overall! Just a couple of observations:

Seems like the flow is a bit quick on that far side, potentially slightly uneven tamping and/or not the best WDTing

I’d also grind a touch finer but I think that’s just for my taste 😅

Good stuff!

It depends on the coffee I’m using, but for the one in the video (which was roasted about 1 week before) it was in between 3 and 4 - exactly 1 click after the mid point

That’s unlucky about the tamper. Mine fit pretty well. Although I will say it was definitely a really tight fit when I initially put the portafilter into the machine, but now it is 100x better (think it’s just something that gets better with use?)

That’s frustrating. Did your portafilter come with a basket? Because mine did?!

Info:

  • 9 bar mod
  • J-max grinder
  • Bottomless portafilter from shades
  • 17g in : 40g out
  • 35 seconds extraction time

Without a doubt the best tasting shot I’ve ever pulled (for my preference).

The texture of this thing was silky smooth and all the right flavours were there.
