decafe and the confusion!
Jul 11, 2019 at 17:07 comment added Sophie McCarrell @ths I tamp manually and I usually put as much pressure as I can without putting my weight behind it. I can't be certain, but I'd guess it to be about 30lbs of pressure.
Jul 11, 2019 at 17:06 comment added Sophie McCarrell @ths it used to work very well, but since the last beans I used it's been poor. I just finish those beans and tried some new decaf beans and im having the same issue. I would use a finer setting for the grounds, but my pressure after pre-inf is already very high. Like how is water flowing through the portafilter equally fast with and without pressure? I don't understand the physics of it.
Jul 10, 2019 at 16:13 comment added ths i do not understand the use of the razor. after tamping, the surface should already be level and even, if done right. if you shave of something, you are destroying the tamped surface. also, with a high dose like this, there is no space to ramp up preassure slowly, id assume.

Jul 9, 2019 at 22:20 comment added JJJ Do you tamp manually or do you have something to make the tamp very consistent (e.g. a pressure based tamper or one of those things you have to turn)?
