First Naked Espresso Extraction
by Skunkie
After yesterday’s task of creating my home-made bottomless protafilter I had to test it out. This is my very first naked espresso extraction. It’s done on the La Pavoni Europiccola. The shot does go a little long and blondes early, but the end result was a very flavorful cup of espresso. I plan on making some adjustments and post a perfected video. I’ve already come pretty far in manual lever shots. My first shots were either incredibly bitter, or sour and flavorless. I’ve managed to make pretty sweet and creamy shots today. I’m hoping to continue improving.
Neat! I’m really glad the Naked Portafilter experiment went well. :) And that’s really neat seeing the shot in action. So cool! Now you need to get a clear glass so we can see how the shot looks too. :D
It’s not a perfect shot, but it was sure tasty. I admit, I really like seeing the shots too. I do need to get a shot glass, or some other see-through type glass. One of these days I’ll get a tripod too. This was done setting the camera up on a series of towels and pot holders.
Soooo…. when are we gonna see another naked shot extraction video? :D Especially now that you have the Bodum glasses. :)
Soon, I promise! There really needs to be another video up so I can show my improvements. The Pavina glasses will definitely make it a lot easier to see the shot as it develops in the glass.
