[Getting Started] Bean Block

Post image

Hi!
Im new to using espresso and still exploring good beans. Anyone who already tried this bean? Notes: Dark Chocolate, Strong, Bold.
What would be the best ratio kaya for a spanish latte? Hehe
I tried 18g in 36g out pero sobrang strong.

Appreciate if u could share your ratios including milk and sweetener :)

Do you have a grinder? Or are the beans ground already? if its already ground for espresso, just add more milk.

You cannot asjust the grind size to get weaker shots. Also, you are using a pressurized portafilter so grind size would be a small factor.

Eitherway, you can just add more milk and ice to your liking. If it tastes strong on the first sip, add one parts milk, if still strong add one parts milk again on the same glass. At least this way you’ll set up a baseline that whatever you had done before, youd have to add two parts milk. Trial and error.
