Espresso extraction of 7 days-old home roasted beans.
Coffee mix:
25% Brasil Santos
25% Papua New Ginea
25% Costa-Rica
25% Indian Monsooned Robusta
Equipment used:
* Nuova Simonelli Oscar espresso machine
* Rancilio Rocky coffee grinder
* Gene Cafe coffee roaster
There are a few reasons for this:
1) In the past I used to store my home roasted coffee in a wrong way that did not allow out-gassing. So 7 days old coffee in many cases acted like a much fresher one.
2) The Oscar produces much too high brew pressure. Some people solve this by a mod in which they install an OPV. I solved it by upgrading to a Vibiemme Domobar Super... :)
3) The Robusta is out - I haven't been using Robusta in my blends for a long time now.
