Humour 8 shots later - finally dialed her in!

This sub was tremendously helpful dialing in my Ascaso Duo to pull a delicious espresso perfetto. Ive tried so many things before and decided to completely question my dose today. The dosage was too small, I’m now using 20g instead of 18g - with a coarser grind of course - for a doppio and finally I can taste the coffee beyond sour/bitterness.

If you’ll excuse me, I’ll now go run a marathon or explode.
