Lance Hendrik Extracting a Shot of Espresso with Kees Van der Westen & EG-1 at WEBER booth in WOC

2024 WOC CPH

[@kevinchang0115]

Coffee snobs in comments complain about the output weight of the espresso while not knowing extracting more volume is what you should do for lighter roast.

[@WordsWellSalted]

I honestly can't believe anyone is criticizing this ratio, let alone multiple people. This is a hobby that's steeped in tradition and people don't like being told that they might be wrong, I guess. Surprised they didn't ask about and criticize the water temperature as well. (96c for espresso??!?)

I'm here to complain that his last name is actually "Hedrick"

[@TheMirrorVision]

Beautiful machine, wow!

[@user-js2fi7qw2i]

KvdW Spiritello very nice and good coffee machine, but price totally not acceptable

[@TheHabadababa]

Ratios longer than 1-2 aren't even a new thing. If I use the stock basket and a full lever press on my 30 year old pavoni I get a 1 to 3 ratio out and that was the way these machines have been used for decades lol

[@ilkzode1822]

Both the espresso machine and grinder will not be used by 99.99% of coffee lovers. Noone cares its lance or paul or steve or mitchell or billy bob using the machine

Its Hedrick but whatever

[@Powerreserve]

52gr espresso???

[@pabloeskibar8076]

even the best machines, he still messes up lul..just watch james hoffman..this guy is a hack

[@sometech6971]

Yes 2.5x yield from a 21g. That is what i do and it is very good with a medium roast

[@mannyr8795]

@@pabloeskibar8076medium or lighter roast hold longer yields. Even Hoffman has said it. Lance has great tutorials.

[@Powerreserve]

@@sometech6971 A kind of triple-shot? Interesting.

[@sometech6971]

@@Powerreserve yes kind of, i ve always struggled with medium roast. But i found this ratio (Lance talk about it in one of his videos) to be much more flavorful than the 1 to 1, but again this works best in medium or light medium roast.

[@leonwang3960]

He extracted over 50 grams of espresso liquid, kidding me?

[@RegrinderAlert]

That’s a super normal 1:2.5 ratio.

[@atticustay1]

That’s perfectly fine for a lighter roast

[@leonwang3960]

Forgive my ignorance, I never saw one 1:2.5 from WBC. Sure you can do whatever you want and call it super normal. But please share the reference when you tell it to the community.

[@kevinchang0115]

@@leonwang3960 I have seen some over the years. More for recent years. I just did a quick search but cannot paste the link here. Search "2024 World Barista Championship: The Semi-Finals" for an article by Sprudge Coffee. There are quite a few participants using more than 1:2 ratio, up to 1:2.5.

[@TheHabadababa]

Maybe check again, highest I've seen at a wbc event was 1 to 4 but almost everyone does higher than 1 to 2. 1-2.5 is absolute standard, even for darker roasts it's a normal ratio​@@leonwang3960
