We(Roots Roasting) use a 14g basket and use that much ground coffee in a dose give or take 0.5g. The give or take(i.e. 13.5-14.5g) is part of the dial in process every morning and/or every new bag of beans. We dial in according to the taste. We try to get our shot of espresso to weigh 28-32g. This is our version of a double shot and we do that twice for a quad shot. We roast and combine a blend of beans for our espresso drinks that leans more on the bitter, dark chocolate flavor because we think that mixes better with milk based coffee drinks.

Very well explained! I used to always do 1:2 ratios with 20g beans and trying to reach 30s every time for like 3 years, then this week I heard a barista suggest 1:3 instead for lighter roast which is exactly what I'm using and prefer... Wow did it make a huge difference I wouldn't have believe it that much at first! It's also more fun to get 60ml rather than just 40ml in the cup. I now have more to drink AND it taste even better and less bitter!
@clivecoffee Жыл бұрын

@kg-Whatthehelliseventhat Жыл бұрын
Perhaps the increased water causes more extraction from the lighter roasted beans, and maybe people pull shots with a lower ratio because the beans for espresso are usually roasted dark. Also, maybe if the grounds are not as fine, the more water will help with the extraction. My wife's mom is a bit disappointed with the amount of liquid in an espresso, so lately, I have been grinding her beens not as fine and letting her shots run long. I am so happy for you that you discovered an even better way to make your espresso. May you have many great cups to come.

It's easier for me to understand a recipe based on the ratio of espresso to milk, so for example a traditional cappuccino would be 25ml espresso + 100ml milk + 25ml foam. You could get to the 25g (ml=g) espresso from 16g, 18g. 20g, or 22g depending on brew ratio. Right?

Hi! Thank you very much for the video. I have 2 questions I'd love to have you enlighten me on: 1. Is it ok to use bottomless porter filter, with a double shot basket, but for a single shot (10g fine ground coffee)? 2. My machine has 15 bar and not 9 bar as it should I suppose. Is that an issue? At the moment I am getting very quick extractions for the 1:2 ratio. I'm thinking it might have to do with those to points above :/
@clivecoffee Жыл бұрын
1. I would use a single shot basket with the bottomless if you're using that little coffee. 2. Could be over-pressurizing. I would recommend reaching out to the vendor you got your unit from.

@kg-Whatthehelliseventhat Жыл бұрын
If I may ask... When using a pressurised portafilter on an espresso appliance, I tend to pull a shot with 15g and 60g out. My machine can't handle espresso grind and the p.p. is more forgiving of grind size. Is this appropriate even if I have to give up the 9% concentration? I understand the ratio is a bit off, but the grind is not as fine. Therefore, I feel I need to pull with more water used. By appropriate, I mean is this the best way to pull and avoid over extraction?

Thank you Julia, such a simple and clear explanation! In general how many seconds should you add or take away for a lungo/ristretto? Say 25s is the normale. Plus or minus 3-5 seconds for the others?
@timgerber55632 жыл бұрын
Two different ways are possible here: The first way to achieve a ristretto or lungo is to just let the coffee run shorter or longer (probably how it was done and is still done in many italian cafés). Say you‘ve dialed in a shot of 1:2.5 (which is more italian normale) you would just kill the shot earlier at 1:1-1:1.5 for a ristretto or let it run longer 1:3-1:5 for a lungo. Thus depending on the coffee you could have a brew time of about 20 seconds for a ristretto up to 45 seconds for a lungo. The second way would be the more modern way. Determining your brew ratio first and then dialing the grind in. This would mean that there is less of a time difference between a ristretto or lungo. Again depending on your taste and/or roast used. This will lead the better tasting result, but is impractical for restaurants and cafés as they would have to have three different grinders dialed in to the different styles. Try out for yourself what you like best!
@clivecoffee2 жыл бұрын
We recommend to aim around 30 seconds regardless of the shot and then judge by taste and adjust your grind size to adjust time. It's definitely possible that it would be closer to 35 seconds for a lungo and 25 for a ristretto but there isn't a perfect amount of time.

The terminology is confusing which is why we think of espresso in terms of a brew ratio. 1:1 to a 1:3. That essentially means ground coffee to liquid espresso. Any of these ratios can be considered a "double-shot". Single-shots are typically very concentrated shots using single-baskets and single-spouted portafilters using 7-9g of ground espresso, which has a short yield.
