Well since getting the Naked PF ive been trying to hone my technique.... lol

Im doing really well having 22g of beans to make a triple in the triple basket and find while grinding into the basket i WDT half the ground beans carry on grinding and do it again. Then a single but very firm tamp.

Hardly ever getting spritz and really getting a lovely Americano.

Im now going to move to the double basket and do the same technique in the hope i can get the extraction as good for a double.

Like anything it really is just practice but im really enjoying my weekend coffees so much

Thanks for the help so far

Update...

Been away trying to improve my techniques..

After adjusting the OPV on my classic i found it was just so much easier getting good shots and good extractions for the bottomless PF. Even with the double im now very happy.

I think the single best advice for classic owners is get the pressure set right and go from there.

Thanks
