Posted Sat Mar 4, 2006, 12:20pm Subject: Shots better with one blend than with another, how come?
So I roast my own blend and the shots I pull blond early and channel all over the place. I pull a shot with a Barefoot decaf esspreso blend, that has been in the fridge for a month (thawed of course) and the shot comes out almost perfect, no channeling or early blonding.
Using the same dosing and tamping technique, the only difference being the amount of coffe in the filter since the freshly roasted stuff requires less amount than the frozen one.
So I cannot figure out why shots with one blend come out better than with the other. Could the fact that one is decaf and the other is not make a difference?
