Learn how to fix espresso channeling issues using a bottomless portafilter and pull the perfect espresso shot everytime. If your bottomless portafilter is spraying coffee everywhere and making a mess, I've got the solution to help you achieve that satisfying smooth, honey-like stream. I am using the Breville Barista Express espresso machine but the same principles apply for any home espresso machine.
I'll be sharing the three most important tips and a few lesser-known tricks to perfect your espresso shots. Here's what you'll need:
-Fresh coffee beans (I recommend Illy https://amzn.to/3XQjoUJ)
-Espresso scale (https://amzn.to/3XP2TIq)
-A needle distribution tool (https://amzn.to/4cRreSp)
These tools are essential, while others like a puck screen (https://amzn.to/4csDjgO) and coffee distributing tool (https://amzn.to/4ePoTsK) are optional but helpful.
I’ll also cover:
The right amount of coffee for different portafilters (54mm for Barista Express, 51mm for De'Longhi) and will show you how to do the puck prep properly from start to finish.
