Taste balance of double vs. triple espresso
I generally like the taste of the 15 g VST basket and was wondering if I could get the same balance of flavors in the 21 g VST basket. I know updosing emphasizes the acids/bitters, but I'm trying to figure out how to keep the same balance but make it more pronounced. I'm asking because I haven't yet...
