“It's sour and acidic, kind of thin. Pulled in about 22 seconds.”

AI Response

Under-extracted — short time + sour + thin confirms it. Here's the fix:

  • Go 2 clicks finer on your grind
  • Bump dose from 18g → 18.5g
  • Target 27–30s extraction time
  • Aim for 1:2 to 1:2.2 ratio

Spoiler: their shots are better now.

Worth upgrading from Encore to a flat burr?

Been pulling on my Encore for 2 years, thinking about the Lagom P64. Wondering if the taste difference is noticeable or if I'm just GAS-ing.

Finally an app that speaks barista, not tech-bro. Stopped wasting good beans on bad guesses in week one.
