The best thing I've heard concerning this is:
"Are you making espresso or are you making pucks?"
End of subject.

Only thing I know from the experience is that puck doesen't mean sh**, I had great espresso shots from watery and sludgy pucks and from dry and compact ones.

Nice! I haven't gone to those lengths but certainly has been the topic of several jokes...earlgrey_44 wrote:I deem this to be an excellent puck. It's highest and best use, aside from compost, is in the realm of Famous Restaurant Practical Jokes.

Focus on how the espresso tastes.
This right here, I thought maybe if some saw this wet coffee thing that they may have some insight on one thing or another. I was very wrong I would post an extraction but I feel from this roasting I received I'm just heading towards a darker roast :p

Trust your taste. Don't trust your perception.

Well, no... but sometimes it might remind you about it.
I was hunting for my coffee machine, and I visited a show room of one of the dealers. There I spotted the model I wanted, it was on with a portafilter locked in the brew head.
"How nice", I thought to myself, it's to keep it warm!). And in an unthinking moment I turned it open. There I saw IT! The used forgotten puck! Yak! It's like finding an unflushed pile.
I do not know why it is, I am sure, but the sight of it made me mad I was not sure if the law would call it a justifiable homicide if I took that portafilter along with that puck and pressed it against the shop assistant's head with 9 bar of pressure, so I had to content myself with retiring quickly from that place and never return there.

Your puck can reveal your future.... I see lots of espresso shots being drank in the short term.

As always, coffee is all about how it tastes. In order to rate a puck, one should know how it tastes like.
Personally, I've never tasted a coffee puck but the smell isn't that good - after all, it is supposed to have more or less given everything that was good to give.

To be fair, I think a lot of us went through this phase. Hell, even my friends who I like to think I have educated a bit think that a lot of crema is all it takes for a tasty espresso.
