So I have a dedica machine and 1zpresso J Ultra grinder which I'm exterminating with.
I'm using dark roast and the grinder is set at around 1.1.2 so right at the limit for espresso. However, I still get around 50ml in 30 seconds from 16 grams of coffee which I think should be more like 35ml following the guidelines of this sub?
Please take a look at my latest shot and let me know if I'm doing anything wrong.
It looks like you've flaired your post as being a Shot Diagnosis. If your shot is running too fast, is coming out weak/thin, lacking crema, and/or is tasting sour, try grinding finer.
Alternatively, check out this Dialing In Basics guide, written by the Espresso Aficionados Discord community.
If that hasn't solved it, to get more help, please add the following details to your post or by adding a comment in the following format.
Machine:
Grinder:
Roast date: (not a "Best by" date). If the roast date is not labeled use "N/A"
Dose: How many grams are going into your basket?
Yield: How much coffee in grams is coming out?
Time: How long is the shot running?
Roast level: How dark is your coffee? (Dark, medium, light, ect.)
Taste: Taste is a better indicator of shot quality than looks or conforming to any quantitative parameters. Does it taste overly sour or bitter?
