Shoutout to the local roaster who gave me a simple tip
About three months ago I was getting really sour shots from my espresso machine. I talked to the folks at Northside Roasters and they said to try grinding a bit finer and pulling the shot for 30 seconds instead of 25. The difference was huge. My shots went from tasting sharp and thin to rich and balanced. Has anyone else had a small change make that big of a difference?

Totally get what you mean about a small change making a huge difference. I was pulling shots that were way too fast and bitter. Someone told me to just up my dose by half a gram and it completely fixed it. It's wild how one tiny tweak to grind size or time can turn a bad shot into a great one. Feels like you unlocked a cheat code.

Right? It's like finding the secret handshake for your exact machine and beans... suddenly everything just clicks into place. Makes you want to go back and re-try all the old beans you gave up on.
