Soooo Need That Course!

After 3 days of no practice I got back to the Silvia today.  Bleh!!!!! 

I can't wait to get into the Barista course and learn some good techniques.

I tried the single shot filter for a change but all I got was black sludge.  The first attempt was probably over-packed and over-tamped.  So I tried a second one, with less grounds, that was only marginally better- still struggled to flow out of the portafilter but at least this time there was some evidence of crema.

So frustrating! But must persevere. 

Be a Job...  Be a Job...  Be a Job.
