      How do you account pre-infusion into the timer? Like 10s pre-infusion can't count as 10s of normal extraction, no?

    • @timicanada

      Thanks a lot for the information. Im one of those who would simply wing it, and go by taste but honestly I find it hard to dial it just right for both espresso and lattes. I will take my scale back out and adjust my grinder!
      Also I was wondering if you had any plans on doing introduction videos on how to roast coffee beans? I have a simple machine at home and theres so many variables (fan, heat' tiome, temperature) its exhausting just trying to figure out what to change from roast to roast....

    • @ColdCoffeePhotography

      Really? Why would you pay that kind of money in the first place? Unless dialing in is more than a hobby I find that a bit over the top. I don't mean to be judgemental I'm just surprised.

    Pleeeeaaaaaase make this a series, Lance! It's SO helpful to see the logic and train of thought as you go through it for this particular situation. Having you go through this with different coffees will be a blessing to learn the nuances in techniques! And you could even expand it to include pourovers. Could be very entertaining watching from quality roasts all the way up to that royalty-tier they use in competitions. I'd watch that forever

Makes the whole process feel more approachable and the knowledge more transferable, and I feel that's the way it should be! Cheers to demistifying espresso!
    The grittiness sound and the catching the fingerprint advice was completely new to me. I'm a bit more used to my grinder settings now, but this is something I will definitely apply if faced with a different one!

Their machine and grinder can 100% get good espresso, but they haven't found a coffee that both suits their taste and they can get fresh enough to work for them. I've found some double roasted coffee to try, so this is perfect for me. It's well explained and easily understandable, and the small tips that aren't the most obvious help a lot.

    I don't usually comment, but you always crush your videos!! I learn so much from you and your experience. I'm sure you get a bunch of hate and dumb comments, but keep up the great videos. You rock!!
