Thanks for this thread. Richard (espressme) refuses to believe me when I tell him that I drink my espresso from a thimble.

This is a good idea. I'll second grong's volumes, adding 0.5 oz. per pull up to four, for the PV Export. I'll qualify by saying volume in the cup can vary somewhat depending on GDT (grind, dose, tamp).

I think you need to add a dry weight of coffee column to the table, so we can figure dose pe unit vol, and important component of taste.

BTW, the last few shots I've pulled have been "leaners": ground fine enough choke the PV spring, and requiring me to put my body weight over the machine and lean down on the piston to get a decent flow rate. This, of course, increases the pressure. I have to say these shots have been VERY tasty and crema-laden.

If I had a couple of grand and a lot of counter space I might opt for a spring-lever Conti with its coupled lever mechanism.

Is that one pull or two to fill your thimble?

Okay!

Coffee dry weight for PV Lusso (Macap grinder)
delicious single basket: 8g
delicious double basket: 14g

Peppina

a) depress the lever and allow it to rise immediately: ~45mL
b) depress the lever, count to 20, then allow it to rise: ~50mL

P.S. This is gross volume of water from the shot with no coffee in the basket.
P.P.S. Not using original one-way washers in the piston cylinder and group but thin (1/16" and 1/32" respectively) very flexible nylon-reinforced EPDM washers, doubled up.

Do we have pics of the PV single and double baskets?

PV baskets, next to an espresso cup for reference.




Thanks for the details on Peppina, timo888!

45ml - 1.5oz.....BIG thimble! How much with 12gr coffee in double basket?

espressme asks timo888:

Yes, we must know how much actual delicious espresso is produced per piston stroke.


espressme,

Perhaps you could represent Cremina with a report on Cleo? I for one would value this information.


Elektra?


With gratitude,
