So we have a problem at work. Our espresso has aged only 4 days past it's roast date. So the shots are coming out tasting not so good... They are really bright and bitter. The shots start to drop at the right time (around 9 seconds) but they blonde much faster than they should.
I've tried several things to try and help. I've ceased to updose, weighted out my portafilter to make sure my dose is consistent, changed my grind, and changed my tamp. It seems to help a bit but not very much.
Is there anything you guys can think of that would help me out? What do you do when your espresso is a bit too young?
