Is there anything like coffee?

Owner experience with the Strietman CT1

Anyone has tried different pre infusion times/pressures yet? I have a Colombian SO here right now where i had great results with 25sec pre infusion followed by around 30sec pull for 40g. For ethiopians i so far stuck with the recommended 8seconds. Have not tried annything else yet

Owner experience with the Strietman CT1

i can't pick it up, feels like trying to pick up pennies or something. i just do a slight wrist flick so the basket lands on one of the three "prongs" with the edge, and then pick it up
