You should invite guests to pull shots and comment about their performance. A lot of times your advices sound so easy but when dialing it in on my Gaggia, things get a little more challenging. Great video as always!

The single point you made about not going by weight, but by grind level in your portafilter has just made my coffee taste a whole lot better! Using this tip, I was able to add 22g of a (slightly) courser grind in my 20g portafilter. It brought the compressed grinds closer to the screen but still allowed room so it's not leaving the indent from the screw. Using my usual grind size for my beans made it come out way too slow, so I upped the size to the next number and it came out in the usual sexy stream into my cup. Honestly, my coffee just tastes so much better. So a massive thanks for teaching us it is ok to ignore certain 'rules' to get us to a better coffee. 🤘🏽

Yesterday I was explaining some of the basics for the newcomers and I'm so happy, that I was pretty much close to this video in terms of information, but still not that highly concentrated with the useful info in just 18 minutes. Thank you Lance for keeping the pace in educating all of us!🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Tried 18 in 42 out today and it fixed my sour shots! I'd been running 18 in 36 out and having really sour.

Just splashed out on my first ‘prosumer’ quality espresso machine and grinder and have been up all night the last few days watching YouTube videos on espresso making. Yours is by far one of the best, I think I will be rewatching multiple times to let the concepts and learning sink in. Thank you!!

When I first got into espresso, I had been hearing "18 gRaMs 30 SeCoNdS 1:2 is BeSt" blah blah but the first coffee I tried to make espresso with would overflow out of my 18 gram basket. It was an incredibly fluffy, not dense coffee and I'd lose so much when trying to prep the puck because it was just a mountain. It was also pushing up against my basket and the screw imprint was indeed there. I was getting these ultra muddy and sour shots that just weren't my jam. I took it down to like 16ish and stayed at my output (upping ratio technically). It was way better and I was like what are people talking about? Then I got another coffee and I needed more than 18 grams actually, among having to tweak other variables to get a good shot. That really helped me figure out that there's a lot more to be learned than I thought, and a lot of misinformation and generalization coming from some folks, and that extended to basically every variable. I guess the lesson is don't over simplify for convenience and to discount others, but also don't yuck someone else's yum.

Thanks man, you just helped me getting a better shot. I got some light roasted coffee as a gift but I was never able to dial light roast in, they were always very very sour and undrinkable as an espresso (as a latte they are okay-ish). I was focusing too much on my ratios, I can get a perfect Medium/Dark roast pull 25-30sec 1:2 ratio tastes perfect but the same strategy failed with this light roast. Out of curiosity I pulled a 1:2.5 ratio shot not worrying about time and it got immediately 100x better. Bit too watery and the crema is laughable compared to my other shots but at least it didn't have to go down the sink. I'll fiddle with it, there's hope I can pull a decent shot now :) Thanks again!

Lance I love the way you went super speed at the end to go over everything again 😂 I will rewatch another 10 times until it finally sinks into my brain! 😭 Love your content and how you describe everything to make complete sense ❤

The thing I struggle with is actually knowing what’s wrong with my espresso in the first place. I don’t have a benchmark as to what it should taste like. Maybe an espresso I don’t like is because I don’t like it, not because it’s a bad shot
