Hey Eric! How’s it going? I’ve been messing around w/ pulling espressos for a while and here are some thoughts:
- get rid of the Krups. Get a real espresso machine… a Gaggia is a good start.
- what beans do you use? Try Origins Espresso (Granville Island). All time best I’ve tried are Vivace beans (espressovivace.com) from Seattle.
- use beans 5-14 days after roast date. Having said that, always buy beans that have the roast date printed on them (and never, ever beans that have an expiry date). Fresh beans tend to be more forgiving too, so an inconsistent grind can sometimes still give you good results
