Espresso grind works great too!
I forgot to adjust my grinder setting the other day and accidentally put espresso grind into my orb, I prepared everything as usual, paper filter, tamp, top with metal screen, etc. it was a lot harder to pump, and I just went nuts till I heard hiss, and as soon as I unscrew the pump, it let out a big hiss that kind startled me. the grounds came out like an espresso puck that I can pick up and flip around in my hand without breaking.
annnnnd, the coffee was once again incredible. I’ve been making it the same way these past few days, and it’s super consistent and incredibly tasty.
16g beans
80g water@ 95degrees
after that drink as is or dilute into a full cup, both are great.
