@baristainpajamas: Not every coffee should be brewed with the same espresso recipe. ☕️ The right ratio can completely change how your beans taste. ☕ Espresso: 1:2 18g in → 36g out Balanced, full-bodied, and a great starting point. 🤎 Ristretto: 1:1 to 1:1.5 18g in → 20–27g out Thicker, sweeter, and great when darker roasts taste too bitter. ☕ Lungo: 1:3 18g in → 54g out Lighter and more open, great when lighter roasts taste too sharp or sour. Before blaming your beans or your technique, try changing your recipe. Which one do you prefer? #espresso #espressotips #homebarista #coffee #coffeetips
So I have an interesting issue. Starbucks lattes can get rid of my migraines. Specifically Starbucks. Something about it just tastes so much smoother and sweeter to me? Like, first sip and I can feel the migraine start to abate. I cannot figure out how to replicate this at home. Do you have any idea what makes SB taste that way?

For either the ristretto or lungo, should we start with keeping the grind the same and pulling the shots for less/more time, or should both variables be changed at the same time?

Pls tell me the name of the beans you use and the grind size setting for your Meraki. I just bought mine and don’t have the patience for trial and error. I will just buy the beans you use and set my settings to yours please

Curious is a lungo the same as “double” espresso?

I feel like sometimes my ninja luxe makes any of those without me asking sometimes 😅😅😅. Though I should give it its compliments, as 95% of the time it makes the 1:2 ratio really well. Usually its the first shot of the day that doesn't always work 100% of the time.

Makes sense why la Cabra does 40-50 grams because they use Nordic style light roast

You adjust grind size with ratio, so you can stay in that time zone right?
