This coffee thing is getting quite addictive.
I have finally got the grinder dialled in to produce a fine enough grind for a good espresso, tested the pressure on the Gaggia which is spot on at 9 bar.
I decided to treat myself to a naked portafilter which arrived yesterday.
Heres a picture of my current set up in the kitchen. Basically just an Iberital MC2 grinder and the Gaggia Classic.
Today I decided to try and get some photos of a shot pouring through the naked portafilter. There are quite a few photos in the series, hopefully those in the know will be able to tell me if it looks about right. The espresso certainly tasted good.
The double shot took 27 seconds.
Any comments as to whether or not this looks correct would be appreciated.

Double Shot poured through Naked Portafilter
First time I have had any Monmouth coffee, and I have to say it is wonderful, really fruity. I may have to go and make another one.
