How many espressos to dial in a new bag of coffee?
Hello all,
This is just a check on "normal".
I have a roast that I use regularly. By accident, I picked up a roast that was a little less dark.
It took me about 4 pulls to get the flow right as I had to keep lessening the grind.
Is this process typical when working with a different roast? That is...unless you're super experienced (which I'm not) or fortunate, you're going to be tossing a few cups.
Thank you.

This is a very good general-advice video from Marc at WLL on dialing in grind size to extraction rate/time:

Yep. Usually what I do. I adjust the grind to get the shot time and then start adjusting temp after.
