Thought folks might like to see a shot being pulled to spec at Espresso Vivace in Seattle. This one is basically perfect. Happy to answer any questions!

    And im not talking about the coffee…

  3. Basic questions: What’re the dose and extraction weights? And what’s the temp you’re using?

    I few days ago I was dialing in, ground too fine and was getting this ultra slow shot. Fortunately I had read your recipe the day prior, so I stopped the shot at 11 grams. It was delicious!

    Wtf…That is a shit ton of too much coffee for a ristretto… 

    But yes, overloading a basket with fine coffee will yield in a slow extraction. It just has nothing to do with ristretto.

    Oh I’ve had your cafe nico once from the SLU location near REI.

    Do you just grind really fine to make this?

    Thanks for this! I have been trying to replicate your recipes. Is this your Dolce blend?

    How is it so thick?

    I have a feeling that tastes really good, but how would you describe the difference in taste compared to a 1:1 ristretto?

    Amazing looking shot; thanks very much for posting this. I notice you pulled the shot out from the espresso stream but kept the shot going, does that make the puck easier to bang out or something? Also curious about the tamper you use, does it have a flat surface or is it convex?

    One day. One day I will make the journey for this shot.
