Hi BH,
Interesting. When do adjust temperature? In the last step?

Very interesting. Is it my misunderstanding, or do so many people recommend, more than anything, to adjust grind over all other variables when trying to achieve better flavor? I.e. if too sour, grind finer, if too bitter grind coarser.
Hi tyler.levick, we definitely hear that a lot. The trouble is, if grind is the only parameter you ever adjust, the strength of your espresso jumps up and down, sometimes too much. It can mean your better extractions can be overwhelming strong. The hierarchy we’re suggesting you follow in this video will help you come up with something more balanced and sympathetic to your own taste preferences. BH
