@nevans104 I would test it out to see how it affects your shot. There are two schools of thought – one that includes pre-infusion in the overall shot time, one that does not. It really is going to be your personal preference and the shot flavor that tells you which works best for you at the end of the day? – Kat

@SeattleCoffeeGear Sorry Kat! Just? one more part to that question. I have the Barista Express so it pre-infuses on the double shot. I’m guessing that I should start the timer right after I hear the last pre-infusion pump. Is that correct? By the way I love that you’re so good at replying to people’s questions

@nevans104 Start when you initiate the shot; then you want to see it start extracting 5 – 8 seconds after that point. Too quickly? and you should tweak your grind more finely; too slowly and you should make it more coarse, etc. – Kat

@chrizzzer84 It will be considerable;? in my opinion, your coffee grinder should be the most important purchase as the other gear is secondary to a great grind. You’ll notice richer flavor, more crema and better overall consistency in your shots, etc. – Kat

@ClassicsCafe You will just have more C02 in the mix, so a? LOT more crema, and a bit more sour on the shots, I find. Basically, the more C02, the less coffee can be extracted, so the shots won’t be as rich. The ideal timeframe is different for every coffee; I think you want to wait a minimum of 48 hours, but some recommend up to 72 – Kat

@SeattleCoffeeGear I should make the journey to your store then, even though it’s a long way from New Zealand…if you ever go on a world tour, you should drop by the? little islands down under

Hi. I’m considering buying a grinder to grind my own coffee.. Never had one before and have always bought my coffee grinded. So is it worth the investment and how big will the? difference in taste be?

Gail said to use freshly roasted coffee four? days after the roast date. What could happen to your coffee if you brewed it 2 or 3 days after?
