So I have been roasting coffee for a while, nearly a year. I love it, I really do enjoy having one FINE coffee drink per day.
A month ago I was in Little Cuba (Miami, FL) and had some killer espresso, so I began xploring this.
Have some tasty beans from SweetMarias, roasted to the beginning of the second crack.
Ground FINE, tamped quite firm.
Measured to 7g of grounds for a single shot.
I am on the verge of losing the mouse tail, but can only pull a 15 second shot before reaching 1.5 oz of espresso.
I am getting a very nice caramel crema, it lasts to the end of the cup
Is it a concern that the shot length is only 15 seconds?
