  • I’ve had a few espresso today and the portafilter is quite wet in side. The coffee tastes pretty good but the crema is a bit bubble.

    Is this wrong in some way

  • I don't think so, never looked into it properly but I assume the wetness of the puck correlates to the amount of headspace between the puck & shower head. There are definitely some more informed folks on here though who may be able to provide some more info.

  • I'm with @mmccarthy - what I've found since moving to a naked portafilter and VST basket - pull much better shots but wetter pucks. Judge it on quality of spros rather than what a puck looks like imo
