SPRO SHOTS!

alright ya'll, post pictures and stats of your espresso shots! prettiest shot wins a free double espresso at my shop if you ever get to Asheville.

20g dose
30 sec extraction @ 195 F
~2 oz. shot
café remon blend, our espresso blend (sumatra, ethiopia, peru)
syrupy texture, slightly bubbly due to the naked portafilter and outgassing (it's fresh). bit of tart muscadine grape initially, with a bready texture and baker's chocolate finish.


what are your shots looking like?

Let's do our best to keep them in focus....Too hard to judge otherwise.

Another view:


Dose: ~18g (dense coffee means heavy dose weight at below-rim volumetric dosing)

Final shot weight: ~14g (including water)

Dwell time: ~22s

Coffee: Winter Blend 2009-2010 from The Brown Coffee Co.
Blend: 40% Guatemala Huehue Finca Vista Hermosa, El Eden lot ; 60% PNG Western Highlands, Madan Estate

Flavor description: I can't say. I've been a bit stuffed up today, but 2 days ago as a drip brew, it tasted a whole lot like Bubblicious' watermelon flavor. Intense sweet fruit. A little toastiness from the roast profile.

Here is what our espresso, Malabar Gold Supreme, looks like.

21 grams in a triple basket and bottomless portafilter.
30 second extraction
207 deg F water temp
8 bar pressure

Our proprietary blend of Indian coffees, 11 days after roast @ full city. Smooth, syrupy, exceptional chocolate with spicy overtones and highly aromatic.

Ok Dr. John were back on track.
Double shot pulled in an 8oz cup to study creama development.
Not for direct competition. More for fun.

'Atta boy... What an awesome shot, in both regards. Doesn't look over-extracted at all, like most "awesome" bottomless shots tend to.
