Modern Espresso vs traditional
Quick update! i run steady on the minimum (finest) grind level on the bodum bistro. I tried 16-17-18 grams in. Extract is 23 seconds. 18 is difficult to fit in the basket. 16-17 is all right. While 16 is lighter, I believe that 17 is the one. I will probably need to attack the water next... -

It’s an interesting piece of information but, it’s more like a guide than a rule. The shave stick container has holes on top…- Luc

Little Martin De Candre help please?
On the French forums, they only recommend MdC. It’s a really nice soap but…. To be honest… if they would sell a puck refill, it would drive the price down quite a bit. i think that if you could sample a piece, that would be best. I often look for the deal but didn’t find it yet. I would be...- Luc

Shave Sticks Review Project
To make any updates easier, I've created a wiki page. I also changed the ratings a bit so it's better than listing them like in post 1 https://www.badgerandblade.com/forum/wiki/Shave_Sticks_Review_Project- Luc

Modern Espresso vs traditional
Around 5 days in. Setting on the grinder to the minimum (finest). I do a 17 grams in and get a steady shot in 23 seconds. I might need to go a notch finest but it doesn't allow me. I will work with the grinder for now and see if I can get a better cup but so far, it's better. The taste is... -

It’s some kind of cone in the middle. I will try to take a picture later -
Modern Espresso vs traditional
Grinder got here finally. I know it’s not the best out there but it will get me started. I got a good deal on that bodum bistro. A bit less than 100$ cdn. First grind went to trash. second grind on the espresso setting (minimum). The grind is uniform. I timed the extraction at 23 seconds... -
Modern Espresso vs traditional
I’m probably overthinking this yes. It just doesn’t add up and by far. Anyways, when the grind is regular, it will possibly be easier -
Modern Espresso vs traditional
I have my first situation... Let's call it like that... I either do not understand the ratios at all versus timing. In the modern espresso method, you would need to do a 1:2 ratio. So, let say that I put 18 grams of coffee in, I should get around 36 grams of coffee. Now, if I measure the... -

Sure, I got an entry level burr grinder. I will probably invest in a better one later but it should get me started. it will probably be better than my el cheapo Krupp 20$ grinder.
