Much better. Shot in about 35 seconds for 45g out with 18g in the basket.
The shot before was slower, and looked Instagram perfect, but a touch bitter.
What I’ve found interesting is that the speed can vary massively - 50g in <20 seconds to 45g in 30-35 seconds and the change in flavour is a lot less pronounced than I expected. Before, I’d go from really bitter, to really sour, and finally get it in the ballpark that was between the two. Now it feels like the outer parameters are much closer (which I surmise is to do with much more stable brew temps, but who knows).
Very cool story I know, and I need to work on my latte art.
