Subject: Time for coffee in portafilter before espresso
|
How long should the coffee wait in the portafilter before doing the
shot? Yesterday, I was called away from my machine after loading the
portafilter and I left it on the group head. When I came back after
about ten minutes, the resulting shot was horrible, it ran through in
a couple of seconds.
Should I froth the milk and then leave it in the jug, and then load,
tamp and do the espresso, or can the coffee wait in the portafilter on
the group head for a short while?
thanks

Only long enough to pull the lever or push the brew button.

I've got a commercial gaggia. Yes I can see why it went wrong. I'll
try and make sure that I fill the portafilter and do the epresso
straight away in future. thanks.

Just the same happened to me the other day, I guess that you might use
the espresso grounds inmediately once in the portafilter or may taste
burnt.
You know this only experimenting,

Agreed, 10 mins probably baked it dry - hence the gusher. I aim at about 30
secs, which should be long enough to warm the coffee pack. What machine have
you got?
