Time or weight?
I use a pretty old vibimme domobar, think it must have 12+ years now.
This one isn't the most precise espresso machine when it's coming to pressure and temperature.
So it's quite challenging to get the same perfect espresso out of it using the exact same setup twice. 😅
So, what I asked myself over and over again is what's more important:
time or weight?
Well, I've learned in this post, that many baristas agree on the perfect time being about 28 sec
aaaand most prefer the 1:2-ratio with 18grams in and 36 out.
But, with a machine that's not toooo precise you may choose one of them.
most of the time I'll end up at about 30-36 grams in between 25 and 30 secs.
But sure taste varies as well. 🤷🏻‍♂️
What do you guys think is more important:
having the perfect 1:2-ratio (at what ever time it will be)
pouring 28 secs (to come up with anything between ratio 1:1,5 (27g) and 1:2,5 (45g))
any other in the comments.
