CoyoteOldMan Cuprajake DId you try tasting it? I’ve been surprised in the past - stuff that I thought was for the sink actually was still enjoyable
LMSC Cuprajake How was it? It was quite a long shot. I thought it would benefit from loosening the grind a bit. Rather than loosening the grind, I would tamp lightly, as loosening the grind could result in faster pour in the latter half. It also sprayed a bit around. I assume your puck prep routine remained the same.
Cuprajake Didn’t drink it tbf So that was on 3 on the niche Here is 5 on the niche Same puck prep same dose Forgive me 🤣
boshk I made a facebook group “ACS Evo leva coffee machines” is that allowed as another method of chat in addition to this forum? The admins of this site will also be admins on fb site too of course.
DenisS this video is interesting to watch you will learn a lot and ask yourself questions: they discuss and have problems with temps pulling the shots they compare high pressure 2 spring vs 1 spring shots at around min 51+
Cuprajake Good vid DenisS part two coming soon Ive been playing with dose/baskets of recent as I’ve had a very light bean on the go, tried the puck screen a few times. It’s one I had custom made for the ims baskets I’ve noticed that the pour is actually faster with the screen This is a unica coffee
LMSC Cuprajake I would be happy with that. Looked good to me. I remember @Systemic suggesting 25s-30s as sweet spots for light roasts. I wonder if you didn’t lock the portafilter fully as we see steady drips of water once the shot gets going (after 14s). Please check. Edit : how does it compare without the puck screen (shot time and taste)? I’m not a fan of puck screens. Go for it if you like the taste. 😊
dutchy101 LMSC I remember @Systemic suggesting 25s-30s as sweet spots for light roasts. Out of interest is this with the Evo, levers or just in general with light roasts?
Cuprajake oh, thats water from a wet portafilter, from being washed out, i dont care for the screen its a faff ive just been messing with it of late in that bigger basket, saw it on the side and thought what the hell
LMSC dutchy101 Evo With the Evo as that’s what we have, I am afraid. I think the basket and 10.5-11 bars pressure make a difference. It shouldn’t prevent you from experimenting on your machine, though! Try and see what works for you. 😊
Systemic Thanks to Evo’s temp options plus the higher bar pressure, you get the sweet shot in the 25 sec window. Evo will tame the most acidic beans, e.g. Kenyan and not produce mouth puckering espresso.
LMSC Systemic Evo will tame the most acidic beans, e.g. Kenyan and not produce mouth puckering espresso. This is very true! I am really enjoying Crown and Canvas’s Washed Kenyan Mwiria AA. Sweet and gentle acidity as in Nectarine and Plums! I do pull the shot at 92/98 though.
LMSC Cuprajake the med/dark i drop to 90/96 +1. Anything above 92/98, I find the cup a little unpleasant, unless it is really light. Are you grinding on MM for the light and medium light?
