Advanced calibration: the tale of two worlds
Traditionally, espresso coffee was made with a sensory approach, which would require months or even years to master. It required baristas to develop a sensitivity to the way the grind looked, the volume of coffee in the basket, the speed and time at which it extracted, and the way it looked, smelled, and tasted.
Fast forward in time, and through the development of tools and technology, we swapped our sensory approach to espresso production for a scientific recipe of numbers, scales, refractometers, and pressure. These tools have helped baristas achieve quality control and simplified our lives by providing useful facts and numbers to work with. But imagine for a second we lost all of
