Coffee Appreciation

10 seconds is too long for the espresso to start coming out, and the water left in the basket indicates it couldn't all make it through. So a coarser grind will make mean the water can come through easier, don't worry too much about the weight of the coffee going in, you can go down to around 16 and still get a good result

Still wasn't hitting the mark with the grind for the machine so professor Sumo very kindly popped over; took us a good hour and half but now I'm pulling some surweet shots.

Big thank you to Sumo for taking the time out to give me a hand
