and secondly, it will cool down the shower screen enough so that there is no scalding, scalding gives the coffee a burnt flavour
5. Increase your dose, your shot ran quickly. Another option would be tamping harder or making your grind finer, which are options I tend to avoid as underdosing can produce less flavour
1. Get fresher beans, you clearly care about freshness although your shot blonded incredibly quickly and had very little crema
2. Collapse as you dose, it will eliminate air pockets in your puck
3. Pour your shot quicker!! Leaving a prepared portafilter in a hot coffee machine can firstly begin the extraction process, and secondly it will scald the top of the puck
4. Run blank water before shots, it will firstly run out any dirty water or grounds left on the shower screen
