Chocked the Dog Hat Tim Weldelvoe Kenyan at 5 on the Duo’s espresso burrs set. Pulled out the shot at 6 bars for a total shot time of 3:27s mins. 😨
I am used hand grinding my beans (light and medium light) at the slowest speed. I normally take a little more than 2 mins to grind 17g. Tightened the Jx, chocked and pulled out the shot at 3:22 mins at 6 bars again.
My MIL who was watching asked if I am going to taste to see the difference. I said yes just for fun and curiosity. She straightaway said leave the kitchen as she will pour on 2 identical cups. I told her it doesn’t matter. She would have none of it. She did. No real opinion in terms of taste (as that’s not the intent), but million times upscale by convenience. It’s a real life changer and won’t miss the hand grinding for sure. 😁
I plan to loosen the grind to 7 on the Duo to see if the the shot time comes to 30s-45s. I would defo grind on my JX to help me align my palette.
I bought the Duo for two reasons: First, mainly, for convenience and two for filter, which I really enjoy.
I plan to season the filter burrs later today with 3 KGs of cheap beans and try the filter next week. The Kruve set will be very handy to dial in for v60. 😁
