I would say try different redistribution techniques – Stockfleth’s, etc.
It also looked like that shot ran a little long…

what type of machine is this??????

The technique is great but the shot is not the best. It should take a bit longer before it starts pouring, plus (I reckon) the pour is for too long! Just because it’s a 18 gram basket, you don’t have to make it 60 ml. Make it a ristretto, and it’s perfect!

Regardless of any previous comments or what people think about coffee, I appreciate you guys taking the time to post this. It’s really helpful to folks who are unsure of the process of making espresso to see a barista walking through the steps.
Keep it up!

Yeah…it actually is. I’m unsure if you’re on a fishing trip but if you get out there and try it for yourself you may actually begin to appreciate the importance of the espresso making process.

I just bought a new Rancilio Silvia and Rocky for home use. I’m getting a 25 second pull on the shot however hardly any crema. Is that then because the beans suck? I’m using the espresso beans send with the machine purchased from Hufford. What beans would you recommend for great crema…and is this likely my problem?

Was it a bad tasting shot? No, but you’re correct with the spray. However, the lopsided-ness I am not sure how to deal with. Any suggestions? I’ve asked around in our coffee community, and read up on it, but it seems to be just a little off center.
