    Great video. Suggestion for a follow up video: use a bottomless portafilter and pull shots to compare the different distribution and tamping techniques.

    When I work I tap the filter with my wrist till it's flat, tamp and then since there is a bit of coffee on the rim, I tamp the coffee again but with little to no preasure.

    Very nice video. Flipping over the portafilter after tamping to check for cracks... could you explain that a bit more? If it had a crack or channel presumably a chunk of the puck would fall out when flipped? Is that the idea?

    Parts of this are definitely geared towards professional baristas. His tamping contortions might be good for people to help with repeated motion stress injuries. If you are a home barista just get a palm tamper/distributor you will get 99.9% there once you dial that in. If you want to get better at manual tamping then this can give you some ideas but practice is probably what you need.

    So I'm new to this, when I tamp, the espresso doesn't pack in enough and ends up coming out if I were to flip it around. Is the problem the tamping or the grind? I am using preground coffee until I can get a proper grinder...

  • @blizzbee

    Generally, the preground particle is a bit too large too be packed tight enough to hold upside down (not always). Ofcourse a good grinder will help. Make sure it can grind small enough for "non-pressurized" basket.

    I was trying to get some more information that would help me use refillables in my nespresso better. I can't come close to the quality of the nespresso capsules. The Lavazza capsules also are just okay, marginal quality compared to the limited edition cubans I've been drinking. It's kind of a challenge to me, I want to recreate the quality with these reusables. If I can't I'm just gonna buy nespresso pods, because honestly a four dollar double shot of espresso IS worth it, if it's perfect, and it's at the touch of a button on your bedside (I've got a mini). I think it's the quality of the coffee. I've bought cafe bustelo, silencer smooth (which isn't espresso, and arrived smashed with escaped aroma). I don't expect chicory coffee to brew properly but it's nice to be able to extract it under high pressure when I want it as such, it tastes the best out of all the custom coffee I've put through the machine.

    Seriously, who hasn't pushed the grinds around with their finger or tapped and shaken? If you were at a loss before a barista showed you I'd suggest downloading a brain training app. Maybe complete a couple of colouring books first.

    Too verbose. He is knowledgeable but needs to be more succinct. He doesn’t need to explain every minute detail. And don’t refer to this as “super” fun. It’s fun or not fun. Super is superfluous and hyperbole.
