SPRO SHOTS!

alright ya'll, post pictures and stats of your espresso shots! prettiest shot wins a free double espresso at my shop if you ever get to Asheville.

20g dose
30 sec extraction @ 195 F
~2 oz. shot
café remon blend, our espresso blend (sumatra, ethiopia, peru)
syrupy texture, slightly bubbly due to the naked portafilter and outgassing (it's fresh). bit of tart muscadine grape initially, with a bready texture and baker's chocolate finish.


what are your shots looking like?

Definitely a big improvement, Jeff. Keep up the work!

Your pouring technique looks to be well on its way to a nice rosetta, but before you get there, keep working on the texture of the milk. Steaming is the most important step in latte art, so master the art of texturing your milk to match the crema, and then the fancy patterns will come naturally.

And hey, keep posting photos!

Well this caracolillo or pea bearry, strong bold flavor, no acidity what so ever, and dark cocoa notes. Pull from a Marzoco 26 sec.
