In my opinion its like wine tasting aka BS and 99,9% of people cant taste s.... even if its real. Only thing that matter is quality of coffee if its bad, burned, mouldy or whatever it always will be bad coffee. I rather buy expensive bag of good coffee then another needle thing that should achieve what? after tampering and injecting water at high pressure? So i dint even understand part about uneven distribution when portafilter is filled by water unless your coffee machine is broken.

Tapping to settle the grounds actually performs worse I believe, because it causes the finer particles to travel to and settle at the bottom. You don't need the blind shaker for this, but the goal here seems to be shaking thoroughly to create even distribution. But yes, this is undoing a years-long trend toward all the needle based distribution tools.

It has to do with the Gaussian distribution vs. A convolution. If you take the Fourier transform of 5 tiny needles moving through a "sandbox" aka coffee ground bed, then there will be "rivers" that preselect where the coffee gets routed through, vs. a Gaussian distribution like dropping them in a random pile centered around the Z axis. This homogenization is by it's nature random. Thus eliminating all paths of least resistance.

The needle tools were for grading the larger particles upwards in the stack so they didn't produce compression shadows in the lower grounds, they were never for trying to homogenize the grounds and would work precisely the opposite. The best tool for homogenizing the grounds would be a vibrator like used to compact powder in ammunition cartridges. The aeration flow of the tumbler doesn't need the stupid plunger cup piece of crap that's just for showmanship... a good Erlenmeyer shaped decanter can pour the grounds in just fine... the crucial part is the tapping.

As a coffee drinker and a brickie I actually know why this is. 😅 Basically when you use pins you vibrate the grounds and this causes larger particles to settle and smaller lighter elements to rise. same thing when you vibrate concrete. However shaking it up mixes so that small to larger particles are mixes essentially by using needles you make a natural water drain and allow water to run straight through. The best technique would be to add the grounds to a mixer or a cup turn to one side and use the needles to rotate and churn

@addicted2caffeine5 ай бұрын
To add to this I've been thinking I reckon you could get a better extraction by grinding coarser and lowering the pressure . You would certainly get a smoother run through of water and a more evenly rinsed or extracted coffee with the needle method. However for finer and uniform grind and high pressure a tossed method would mix coarser and finer particles allowing a steady rate of flow. My logic to my first comment is that for concrete the idea is to vibrate and allow air to escape and for the concrete to essentially level out , and shring yes vibrating concrete makes it shrink by 30% of its volume essentially packing in tighter and denser . For coffee grounds however we don't want it packed super tight and dense we want it squashed tight with gaps between the particles for flow and extraction. The mixer essentially rolls and airates allowing small and large sand/stone to be evenly incorporated with cement so my theory is for coffee we want to tumble the grounds with a fraction of moisture so that the larger particles and smaller mix evenly then we want to tamper it without vibration then lower the pressure a tad closer to 8 bars of pressure . This should give far more uniform extraction than anything currently used . But this is just a theory I've got no coffee equipment. I have a decade of construction experience and a few years experience working in coffee shops and a passion for great coffee. More so it's the science and the origins of that coffee. I can also to some extent blind tell the variety, country and altitude of each coffee but nothing crazy

I mean, there's plenty of coffee hobby methods that _are_ useful. The needle thing just isnt one. Best bet? Actually study and test before spending the money. Nothing wrong with making it fun. It's just, if you wanna pull the best shot, act like it.

The needles have been the things for years. (Maybe a decade now?) And we (used to) have a very nice and simple explanation as to why they were the best, which is why it's so surprising that a simpler method is able to outperform them

Quick thought, I'd love a video of what percentually increases the espressoshot. Something like: what kind of beans (40%) Good machine (40%) Tamping (adds 10% Using needles (2% vs shaking 3%) Etc. Since doing these needles seems in theory only add a small amount. I don't have any idea tho I dont own an espresso machine, but it would be lovely with a breakdown of what actually makes good coffee

i personally shake the coffee ground at a magnitude of 2.36 points on the richter scale, and then press them using 4000 RPM settings on a centrifuge, to get an extra 0.0032 mls extraction.

First they take the dinglebop, and they smooth it out with a bunch of schleem. The schleem is then repurposed for later batches. They take the dinglebop and push it through the krumbo, where the fleeb is rubbed against it. It's important that the fleeb is rubbed !.

I think thats because applying regular motions to ground coffee has a sorting effect. A similar effect is used by machines that sort different kinds of screws by vibrating a full dish of them. Shaking is chaotic, it's three dimensional, lowering channeling
@sanwio5 ай бұрын
i think the needles make paths more possible for the water to just run through rather than when it's shaken and the path is more random which catches onto the coffee better.

I think it's the way they're dispersed. It's kinda like shaking a drink to get all the ingredients mixed together. Sure you could stir it, and that works, but there might be a little bit of residue left on the bottom. Shaking it let's it all disperse equally through the puck.

Because the needles swirl the grains around but they dont bring the ones from the bottom up to the top. Theres a reason that homogenisation in chemistry is done by basically shaking the shit out of a chemical in a volumetric flask(inverting several times) its because it allows an interaction between all layers of the solution along a both vertical and horizontal axis instead of just horizintal like the needles do

Actually, I prefer raking instead of WDT. My reason is while stirring the puck, the fines will keep moving down and make the bottom of the puck have higher resistance. So, my method, grind on the Niche cup, flip with the portafilter and then rake, tamp and pull.😊
