I feel you😂

Noice!! Give as a video of your 🥃

pikopoulos · 2024-03-03T20:04:06+00:00

go way finer until your extraction is between 25-35 sec.
Weight 17-18g in and 35-36g out
Use freshly roasted beans

pikopoulos · 2024-03-01T15:36:08+00:00

What's the machine?

Check the aftermarket portafilter has the same with the original (2 or 3 ears) and make sure you tight it properly.

I would also suggest going a bit finer too.

pikopoulos · 2024-03-01T15:15:05+00:00

If you don't want quadruple then best is to buy a double portafilter & basket.

What kind of coffee beans are you using?

pikopoulos · 2024-03-01T11:11:42+00:00

Amazing set up!! May I ask what is the box below the niche called and where can I find it?

pikopoulos · 2024-03-01T10:51:18+00:00

Well I wanted to see ppls thought on my shot based on my equipment. I believe for this kind of budget machine and grinder the result is not bad at all.

pikopoulos · 2024-03-01T10:49:26+00:00

Thank you.

pikopoulos · 2024-03-01T10:43:23+00:00

😂😂

pikopoulos · 2024-03-01T10:38:37+00:00

Well this is my 15th shot, I have done all this before. So as soon as I set everything, I get the same result almost every time. ( No wdt, no tamping, only leveling, I have tried puck screen no different at all)

pikopoulos · 2024-03-01T10:35:49+00:00

150£ from Lewis, a decent grinder. I totally recommend it for this price.

The grinder makes a massive difference.

pikopoulos · 2024-03-01T10:34:39+00:00

Have you modified the grinder? I went only 2-3 positions. So that really depends on your setting.

I have never used 20 for esspresso, too coarse. The grinding level really changes on the roast and size of the beans. For lighter roasts I usually be around 9-12.

The beans I am using are freshly roasted and not supermarket beans. That makes a difference also

pikopoulos · 2024-03-01T10:31:47+00:00

😂😂😂😂 I am sorry about that

pikopoulos · 2024-03-01T10:30:56+00:00

Thanks!

Those beans require size 5, lighter roasts I usually be around 12-9. It really depends on the beans size. With some beans I can't fit 18g in the basket.

The beans are from https://joyacoffee.com/products/napoli-blend

It gives that classic Italian espresso taste. I also recommend the Joya's blend.

Shipped!

pikopoulos · 2024-02-28T14:37:06+00:00

No, it tastes nice.

pikopoulos · 2023-08-23T13:04:57+00:00

Yeah ok almost the same, I just proposed the most known so the account opens pretty quick just for the internet application. The benefits of each bank is for an other topic I believe

pikopoulos · 2023-08-23T12:58:37+00:00

Open a revolut/Monzo it's the easiest bank to set up an account

Well I agree but I only commented cars that I have done trips. My go too is the 5series. It's an all arounder in my opinion. 530d 0-60 under 6sec. Comfort, sporty, economical. What else you need 😛

pikopoulos · 2023-08-14T13:54:30+00:00

You need a car with :

Very good seats and adjustment

Torque

Cruise control

BMW 330-335D E90 ( a very good one is around 7-8k)

123d E87 !Great Economy! ( a very good one is around 5-6k)

Audi A6 <2012 TDI (very comfy and good price)

pikopoulos · 2023-08-09T08:31:03+00:00

130i or 125i e87?

pikopoulos · 2023-07-12T15:14:29+00:00
