Local roasters espresso blend: Odiba 2nd Crack (80% Arabica 20% Robusta)

My recipe: 18g Coffee and 45g Espresso out in 34 seconds, 94°C.

The coffee was roasted about 3 weeks ago and had still quite some gas inside, creating an extremely thick crema. Ironically it lacked a bit of body but very tasty overall.

    Beginners take note! _This is how a flawless extraction looks_. Save this clip/link and use it as a model of what to aim for.

    Edit: People need to calm down and stop being so elitist. There are many variables to good espresso, and this extraction is a very good example of one such variable.

    Looks great, but the music killed it for me as it made it like one of those annoying TikTok influencer clips

    But the most important question is how it tastes.

    I cant do that because i have a breville.

    Can I have some coffee with that crema?

    Although it looks beautiful, I think the beans are too fresh off roast. Freshly roasted beans need to degass, otherwise the CO² in the beans lead to too much unpleasant acidity and astringanty.

    Beautiful, but why did you extract it in a soup bowl?

    You’re not allowed to scribble out your reflection! 🥲 that’s one of the few joys we get to have in this sub 😂

    Just wow, I just got a breville barista express and wonder if I could get the same result or at least close to this 😄

    Any reason this isn’t a 1:2 ratio? 34 seconds with 45g output on 18g in? Shouldn’t this be closer to ~36g output range? Just curious. Always thought the shot will be leaning sour if output is beyond the 36-37g espresso output range. Beautiful pull nonetheless!

    It’s lacking body because your ratio is way too long for anything roasted to second crack. Try a ristretto (anywhere from 1:0.5-1:1.5, so 18g yields 9-27g) at 85C. Lower temps and shorter ratios will bring out sweetness and body in a roast like that. I would even try it at 80C.

    What kind of cup is that? Looks amazing

  12. Just wondering- why 45g of Espresso? To get it leas sour?
