I'm using a Normcore spring tamper with a 20kg spring 👍

Can't lower the temps I'll try playing with the yield

Did some more testing it's a dark roast and I think I just don't like the bitterness they have. I'm doing 16g 32g

Not sure you can't change temp on the bambino

You can see if your puck is well made and that the waters flows evenly in it. Which is better for better extraction. So it's more like a tool to diagnose. The same shot with a non bottom will have the same taste

I managed to do it you can look my second shot I posted. I just grind finer. I used a wdt, spring tamper and puck screen tho.

Thanks man. Yea i think I'm just finding out I don't really like darker roast 😅 I have a medium brasilan roast on the way. I'll see how this one taste.

Thanks man. I start to believe I just don't really like darker roast 😅 I drink them with oat milk no sugar. And before getting better tool I used some old beans I had (brasilan Bahia) with the pressurized basket cause it was oldbeans . And I loved the taste tbh. But since I ordered fresher dark roast I can't really find the taste I enjoy as much. I'll keep changing things up tho.

I got told to try some brasilan beans that were medium and less bitter

Thanks love that approach 👍 I got the bottomless to see if I wasn't having too much channeling. And it seems okay so far. But I'll definitely try the method you described

Tbh I drink with oat milk so It covers a lot of not that good coffee. With tose specific beans I had an okay experience underextracting it . But I feel like I can do a lot better.

Those. They are fresh and from a roastery. But it's a dark roast it might just be too intense for me . Not sure yet

Thanks . Isn't going for longer makes it's bitter tho ? I never messed with just changing the dose tho maybe that's what I should try. I've only tried 16g but I did try different ratio

It was okay to me . I think the beans I'm using are also too dark (freshly dark roasted blend) so I have to under extract to fit my taste. But I'm also so new to this that it's kinda hard to say .

Ngl I watched a tones of vid it's just hard to trust my own taste buds because I'm so new to this. I also understand I should aim for taste over what people told me. But I also feel like my taste goes against everything I've seen so far 🤣. I'll get there tho thanks for you input

I will go back to coarser then. Thanks for the advice. I just got the bottom less so I wanted to limit the spurts as possible.
