Still on a learning curve. Probably forever. 🤔
I am finding that grinding coarser (for faster flow) can increase extraction as effectively as grinding finer (for smaller more extractable particles). Am I off base about this?
Higher (ie longer) brew ratios also extract more, but I prefer more body and strength vs less. So I still tend away from them. Yet occasionally I will pull a longer shot and actually get (for my taste) sufficient body and strength. Why?
