Simple coffee making workflow using the ECM Technika V Profi PID

Here’s a simple coffee making workflow using the ECM Technika V Profi PID machine and Eureka Specialita grinder. Additional tools used are a dosing cup, espresso scale, needle distribution tool, 18g VST basket, dosing ring, Normcore puck screen, Bezzera e61 bottomless portafilter and Pesado 58.5 tamper.
Step by step process:
Tare empty dosing cup on scale
Add and weigh 18g beans to dosing cup
Transfer beans to grinder and grind into portafilter with dosing ring
Evenly distribute grind with distribution tool
Tap portafilter on tamping mat to settle grinds
Tamp
Insert puck screen
Insert portafilter to group head and extract (aiming for 18g in 36g out in 28-30 seconds)
Purge steam wand and froth milk
Pour and enjoy :)
Milk used in this video was almond milk, although not the greatest for latte art it’s my go to for a midday latte.
Previously also used a Normcore gravity distribution tool after using the needle distributor but found no difference in extraction by excluding the gravity distributor.
Happy espresso making !
