I went traditional and split a shot into singles to try out these new demitasse cups I got for Christmas

Acme? Love that blue!

Yep! They’re based in the city I live in, so everything is quite reasonably priced. I think that deep blue is my favourite colour of theirs.

UTJD16@lemmy.world on 29 Dec 2023 00:28 collapse

Agreed! That and black are my favorites.

How was it? It looks great!

It was nice, although fairly mellow because I pulled it 20g:60g (so two 30g singles)

How do you deal with the potential for the shots to unequal in volume?

In a perfect world, you get equal pour from both sides, but despite my efforts, I notice that’s not always the case.

I chose not to care, I had both cups on the scale and they looked about even though. If I really wanted accuracy I would have pulled the shot into a shot splitting cup and then split afterwards.

I need more of this in my life.

I still use a scale to measure the shot weight each time. That machine is manual and just runs a timer.

That’s a gorgeous demitasse! And the shot looks great, too. What are you brewing?

camposcoffee.com/product/colombia-el-jordan-2/ that I picked up when I was in Sydney earlier this month. It’s a little darker than I usually go for but it’s quite forgiving.

Columbia is usually really good. I roasted one that had apple notes to it. It was amazing, and I’ve been searching for that flavor note combination since. Thanks for sharing the link!
