  • It looks like you lifted the arm all the way up before fitting the portafilter. Am I tripping? If not, and you did, how? If I tried that there'd be a shower.

  • You can raise the lever quite a long way before the point when the water is forced through. If you lock the coffee in and then raise the lever, then air has to pass through the coffee to fill the void in the chamber, and this can disrupt the coffee puck. I find it best to raise the lever to just below the point where water is forced through. then lock in the portafilter, then gently raise the lever to let the water.

  • Which beans did you use?

  • Hasbean espresso blend. Freshly roasted and delivered to your door in the UK.

  • good pull, where did you get your naked portafilter from? Or did you make it yourself?

  • Made it myself. My pavoni is 30 years old and a little battered. Portafilter wasn't in great nick, no i did't feel bad about taking a hacksaw to it....

  • Gorgeous pull!  Nice advanced technique. Very well done.

  • Beautiful!!!

  • Esp with the Pavoni it's very coffee-related. She'll punish you for feeding her old/cheap beans.

    Naked Portafilter is the portafilter with the bottom taken out, often referred to as "bottomless" aswell. Some ppl think it makes for a huge improvement. I doubt that but it's definitely a nice analytical tool and fun and sexy. Check my vid response if you want..
