Hi everyone,
I got a pack of this CoE (250g) a few days ago and I have to say it's a rather picky little bastard. Tried it as a double with around 14.5g doses and I had to seriously turn my grinder down to a finer grind (a couple of notches) to get anything drinkable. But even than I got stange looking pours, thin, too little crema and too little coffee in the cup (coarser grind setting produced blond gushers). I also tried it as a FP and it was really nice, sweet, chocalate-like, a bit spicy which of course doesn't change the fact that I still can't produce a decent tasting espresso.
Anyone had similar problems? or is it only me and my crappy skills? I will try it again today with a slightly bigger dose (15.5g) but I'm pretty sure I won't be able to perfect it, as I only have like 50g left.
Regards,
