I’ve been experimenting with different grind settings on my EK43, and it’s fascinating how even a slight adjustment can transform the flavor profile of the shot. With the right calibration, I’ve noticed the acidity brightening and the sweetness coming forward. I’m curious if anyone else has had similar experiences or if there are specific techniques you swear by for getting that perfect extraction.
I totally get what you mean about grind adjustments. I’ve found that making very small changes while dialing in makes a big difference — like shifting just a notch can really change the sweetness balance. Have you tried measuring the extraction time alongside your adjustments, like aiming for around 25–30 seconds?
I’ve found dialing in complexity on the EK43 can also reveal hidden notes… Have you tried adjusting the brew time along with the grind settings? It really does change the game.
I’ve played around with grain size too, and I’ve noticed that going coarser while slightly increasing brew time really brings out some nuanced flavors. It’s surprising how those small grind adjustments can amplify sweetness. Have you experimented with this change yet? It could complement those acidity shifts you’ve noted.
