Which is more important ? The man or the machine?
If you don’t have a LM GS3 or a Synesso, you have to make do with what you’ve got.
The coffeecrew’s opinion is this:
You must master technique above all else, otherwise you might as well stick a cup under a spout and push a button.
Been trying a new distribution and tamping technique:
1. new Schomer technique:
– push down in the centre of the mound and level off
2. reverse tamp when PF is half full (gently) and follow with another reverse tamp before using the NSEW tamp.
