@alexhomebarista: Replying to @al.fahey Dialing in your espresso can be extremely frustrating. But heres the basics. A lot more can go into dialing in your espresso, but i prefer to keep it more simple.
I’m using 18g of coffee but keep getting 40-50g of espresso. So I should grind finer?

i feel like i have tried everything under the sun and still can’t get it right. my espresso just tastes burnt/bitter. The extraction is either way to fast so i’ll grind more fine then its just way to slow. i don’t understand what im doing wrong.

I bought the Casabrew 3700 espresso machine and Casabrew tornado grinder bc of your videos. I’ve tried about 30 attempts and I can’t find a consistent sweet spot for a good pull. I’m getting really frustrated. I bought fresh beans too. The best I’ve gotten is 28 sec pull w/ 28g espresso & no channeling. Everything else either pulls 40-50g w/ channeling or doesn’t pull at all. 😭😭

Is it bad to manually stop your machine once it pulls the 36g in 25-30sec? My machine always keeps going til about 70g but it was within the 1:2 ratio If I would’ve manually stopped the machine..

But what if I want to do 1 shot of decaf and 1 shot of regular espresso? How do I weigh each

There’s a lot more to what you said. But good start. More caffeine - more beans. Then there’s light and dark roast, and even bean density that affects end result..

I did 18 grams and it went for 28 seconds but resulted in 48 grams of espresso. Is there an issue that can be fixed there?

Depending on the type of roast, it can be more than a 1:2 ratio too.
