[@agiokas]

Great video! Thanks!

[@joselareta]

This is a great video with accurate and succinct information about how to make espresso. I learned a lot, thank you!

[@maniastrat]

Thank You Very Much ! This was a very informative & interesting video. I am off to watch your manual brewing video now. Thank You

[@denisenascimento401]

A great lesson on espresso. I'm doing classes at Coffee Lab (Isabela Raposeiras' school in São Paulo) and this world of coffee is really fascinating. I believe that consistency in espresso is a daily challenge for the baristas.

[@mpj1969]

Thanks , Matt nutates etc. was just wodering it you follow the same routine 20 g plus doses for example

[@Buxtonphil]

Love the Q&A but could you shoot in landscape?

[@TimWendelboeCoffee]

+spencerfourhigher Unfortunately, Periscope doesn't support landscape.

Nice video Tim! Very informative!! I am not an espresso guy. I like manual brewing, but this was intresting!

[@TimWendelboeCoffee]

For best measuring results with the VST refractometer, please follow this guide: cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0092/7622/files/Syringe_Filter_and_Measurments_v4.pdf?170

Do you feel that using paper cups (for greater service) changes the taste/flavor of the espresso? E.g. oils being absorbed by the paper cup?

[@TimWendelboeCoffee]

Paper cups don't "steal" heat from the liquid and therefore espresso tastes really bitter for a long time until the temperature has come down to a drinkable level. If possibel I always prefer a porcelain cup, but if papercup is needed make sure to cool down the espresso a bit before it is poured in to the paper cup. that way you can drink it straight away

[@AmitManocha]

Tim Wendelboe thank you 🙏🏽 also, agree with the folks here, thanks for the masterclass! Just discovered your channel and it is fun going back to basics!

[@kleinischer]

Did you use Pre-Infusion?

[@aussiefamilybudgetcooking]

great video!

[@5afan4ev3r]

Where do you get those bigger cups?

[@BillB33525]

Can you please provide more details of the Robur Burr modification? Can sieving grinds, on both ends of the size spectrum, make a Robur closer to the EK43 performance?

[@delyanvalchev2299]

Really informative video. Great stuff! Thank you. But next time please turn the camera/phone horizontally it would make it even better.

[@Choboby]

2 years later, KZbin now supports viewing videos vertically! Makes everything a bit better, and personally I think it's nice break from the usual.

[@makispapantoniou7385]

I have a question about how you set the pressure..so, you brew an espresso with same dose, same beverage weight and same grind setting, in different pressures and you choose the one with the higher extraction yield? Is that right? Thank you

[@TimWendelboeCoffee]

correct

[@mpj1969]

hi does your Ek43 use coffee burrs . Could you do another clip pulling espresso shots using the ek43...what dose / weights out and times re you using

[@TimWendelboeCoffee]

mpj1969 Yes, we use the coffee burrs. I recommend watching Matt Pergers Melbourne WBC run to see how it is done.
