My grind isn't great, I've only got a porlex at the moment (although I'm planning on ordering the Made By Knock Hausgrind when it's instock). The adjustment steps seem to be too different and go from too fine to too coarse in one step, maybe I could try the finer one with a lighter tamp though.
Coffee is 2.5 weeks post roast but this varies anywhere from 1 week to 4 weeks depending on when I buy/use new beans.
Pre-infuse for 10-15 seconds, and go for a few small pumps before pulling the shot.
I occasionally get great shots from it but most the time they seem to be lacking punch and flavour.
Maybe I'm just being too hopeful thinking the porlex can grind good enough...
Thanks for the pointers
