If you've ever wondered how to use profiling to make the best espresso from light roasted beans, this video will explain that.
We try the same light roasted bean, making coffee with five different profiles. We discuss how to dial each profile in, and how each profile tastes when it's not dialed in right.
We explain to you the flavor that comes out of each profile.
This is the order in which we make each espresso, in increasing amount of coffee extraction, though we put Allongé at the end as it's mid-way between an espresso and filter coffee.
1) Gentle & Sweet (5:45)
2) Extractamundo Dos. (9:00)
3) Adaptive v2. (13:00)
4) Blooming (24:15)
5) Allongé (34:28)
We use 18g doses in an 18g Decent basket. The bean is Chelchele from L'Alchimiste in Bordeaux, and we use a 98mm flat burr "FM Grinder" at its lowest RPM setting (500).
