Baristas must take into account various factors when preparing top-notch espresso shots, such as dose, yield, extraction time, grind size, and water temperature. Despite this, the importance of preparation techniques like distribution and tamping can be underestimated. Experts in the coffee industry believe that executing these techniques correctly can enhance a decent espresso into an outstanding one.
What is an Espresso Dosing Funnel?
For a cleaner coffee grinding process, having an extra tool is useful. You may have faced the annoyance of trying to keep all the coffee grounds in the filter basket, leading to a messy countertop. This is where the coffee dosing ring or dosing funnel becomes helpful, preventing wastage of coffee. By placing the coffee dosing funnel on top of your portafilter, you create a barrier that makes it easier to contain all the ground coffee neatly within the filter basket. This is especially advantageous when using a WDT (Weiss Distribution Technique) tool. A coffee dosing ring is a valuable addition for every home barista, allowing you to work in a tidy manner and ensure that your precious coffee goes into your portafilter instead of ending up on the floor.
Why Use an Espresso Puck Screen?
If you are a home barista aiming for top-notch coffee or facing issues with channeling, consider using a puck screen. This tool simplifies the coffee brewing process by preventing splashing (channeling) with a naked portafilter. By facilitating the even distribution of water, a puck screen enhances the espresso’s flavor balance. Additionally, you can eliminate the need to clean your brewing group using a brush after each shot. While not essential, a coffee puck screen can significantly enhance your espresso-making experience at a reasonable cost. Upon receiving your puck screen, conduct a taste experiment by brewing espresso with your favorite beans both with and without the puck screen to discern any flavor disparities.
WDT Tools Overview
Grinding coffee can cause clumping, varying in severity, caused by static and oils in coffee. The WDT tool aims to break up these clumps in the espresso basket to achieve a fluffy and even coffee bed before tamping. This process is known to enhance espresso extraction, decrease channeling, and ensure consistent shot results.
