It is all lightly roasted, so not so soluble and needs a fine grind and lots of contact time. We had it at 16g/45ml/35sec in the shop. Even then I really prefer all of these as a filter, I think that gets to the complexity much more reliably than espresso. 👍
on my gaggia classic i've been pulling 40ml from 17.2g in about 30-35 seconds using the espresso blend but I always assumed it wasn't quite where it should be but it worked for my purposes, what you're saying seems like I'm not as far from the norm as I thought?
