Hey people!
Alright...you are officially witnessing my first discussion, so here goes:
Muddy pucks. I have a pretty good idea in general terms that a lot of times, a puck will be muddy as you knock it out right after pulling a shot generally if the grind is too fine.
However, what if that is not the case?
I have found nothing consistent with this, but why is it that you can have the perfect dose, grind, tamp, water volume, shot time and enjoy the taste of a wonderfully extracted shot, but still have a muddy puck?
Is a muddy or a solid puck irrelevant as long as the end result is delicious?
HELP me with your opinion/advice!
Thanks!
