Flow-regulated extractions
How flow-regulated espresso extractions differ from pressure-based methods, and how they influence consistency, puck integrity, and flavor.
Reduces channeling
Pressure and flow profiling curves
How pressure and flow profiling curves influence espresso extraction, and how baristas and researchers use them to optimize flavor and consistency.
Flow profiling and needle valves
How flow profiling and needle valve systems give baristas precise control over water delivery and extraction dynamics in espresso machines.
Paper filters and puck screens
How paper filters and metal puck screens are used in espresso preparation to improve extraction, cleanliness, and consistency.
Declumping and WDT tools
How declumping and Weiss Distribution Technique (WDT) tools improve puck preparation, reduce channeling, and enhance espresso consistency.
Shot time vs flow profiling
The relationship between shot time, flow rate, and pressure profiling, and how they shape espresso extraction and flavor.
