Flair 58 Temperature
Flair 58 Temperature The Flair 58 sensibly has three temperature settings. 1 light = 85 c 2 lights = 90 c 3 lights = 95 c For the most common roast levels, people should be using setting 2 of 90c.
Espresso Temperature Calculator
Espresso Temperature Calculator Higher temperatures extract soluble compounds much more easily than lower temperatures. For espresso, where the contact time is very short:Light roast brew temperature Celsius is 95 degrees.Medium roast brew temperature Celsius is 90 degrees.The dark roast brew temperature Celsius is 85 degrees. Your coffee is likely to be roasted somewhere between these […]
Espresso Dose Calculator
Espresso Dose Calculator Dose means the weight of dry ground coffee. When changing the Ratios across the 120-point Roast Spectrum, it is really useful also to change the Espresso Dose. For example, with a very light roast with a 1:4 ratio, a 14g dose produces a just manageable 56g yield of espresso. If you used […]
Grind Size Calculator
The trouble is that many different combinations of espresso machines, grinders, zero points, burr sets, and basket sizes make it almost impossible to provide a Grind Size. That’s not to say knowing the density can’t help with grind size. If you start recording your ideal grind settings at varying densities, you will find you can […]

Nine bar espresso

What you need to know about pressure to make the best-tasting espresso In a commercial context, Espresso is all about making coffee fast—30 seconds per cup, compared to 4 minutes for filter coffee. That’s a big difference when you have 30 people waiting for service. It’s all achieved by pressure-speeding-up extraction. When scaling your pressure […]
How to choose an Espresso Basket

Espresso Basket Size One of the most important things to achieve in making great-tasting espresso is using the full range of ratios (1:1 – 1:4), and to accomplish this, you will have to use the full range of doses (14g-25g). Yield = dose * ratio If you have a light roast coffee that requires a […]
espresso to water ratio
What is Espresso Ratio The term ratio refers to how much ground coffee you use, also known as the ‘dose’, to how much the weight of the coffee you make, known as the ‘yield’. For example, using an 18g dose, stopping the shot at 36g yield produces a dose:yield ratio of 1:2. If you have […]
Computational Coffee
It blows my mind how everyone is trying to extract coffee without first measuring how hard it’s going to be, and then not using the full range of all their tools. Avoid bitter over extraction, and sour under extraction, by measuring the density.
WHISKY FLAVOURS TO DISTILLERY
This post has nothing to do with coffee. It is here after I read a wonderful article on How Coffee Varietals and Processing Affect Taste. It reminded me of a similar, somewhat simpler piece of work I did on Whisky Flavours to Distilleries. Flavour to Whisky Distillery This has been created by using a word […]
