2weeks into making espresso with a budget set up, here’s what I’ve got so far :

Shot pulled: 19g in and 40g out in 30secs. Tasted really good with Spanish Latte :D

Ano pa pong puwede i-improve? Hehe. Although pressure gauge hit 11-12bars, I’ve been told to just disregard it and just magbase nalang sa taste. I wonder how it tastes if it’s stable on 9bars.

Any beans recommendations as well? I’m using Jet Fuel by Origins MNL. So far, I’ve only used this and Vietnam Arabica by Allo Coffee Roaster. Quality + value wise, I think Jet Fuel takes it. May vary tho!
I feel like Jet Fuel is gonna be hard to beat, got 500g for 648php. FYI, everything is not sponsored.

TIA!😁

Pls help ;( Timemore c5 ESP)

I think my timemore c5 esp doesn’t grind uniformly. I hear like burr contact at setting 0.1.8, which is 9 clicks from zero.

The taste of my espresso is like really dry and rough, it has a weird gritty feel in the mouth. Even once I turn it into something like a latte.

I’ve encountered some people online with the same grinder and I asked them how many clicks from zero does it take for no burr contact, they said only 3.

What can I do about this :(, I’m a coffee beginner and I don’t have a big budget. This grinder costs a lot for me even tho some say it’s only entry level.

I’ve tried really cleaning it and making sure everything is aligned but nothing seems to work.
