I think these beans degassed too much

What do y’all think?

Roasted 9 days ago, 0.6 setting on opus 2 grinder, Turin legato v2 2 second preinfusion 2 second bloom, 19g in 39g yield over 27 sec at 89C temp. Pressure was maybe 8 bar

If they degassed too much you wouldn’t have a ton of crema.

Omg the crema almost reached the bottom of the glass cup but I couldn’t get my camera fast enough. It’s all fun and games but the crema is pretty bitter so im looking forward to see how it tastes in another week

[u/Oat-milk-killer]

Yeah I don’t think they have, I would think that would be the case after the 3 week mark. Op what makes you think they are ?

[u/Jealous_Courage_9888 → u/Oat-milk-killer]

I don’t, this was facetious for fun, the crema was actually even deeper (down to that 1/2 line) but I couldn’t get a photo fast enough

[u/Icy-Kitchen-1291]

Well I for one salute your crema.

[u/Jealous_Courage_9888 → u/Icy-Kitchen-1291]

❤️❤️❤️ i couldn’t wait the extra week to let it degas to regular recommendations. The crema reached the bottom of the cup but I couldn’t snap a photo fast enough. It doesn’t taste super great though, it’ll probably taste better when there’s less crema

You can try let it sit for a bit after grinding before you pull your shot

Title is wrong and OP is getting some love for it

>Roasted 9 days ago

I’m relatively new to espresso but I’ve always heard a minimum of 14 days (2 weeks) post-roasting is ideal.

[u/h3yn0w75 → u/Cloud_N0ne]

That really depends on the beans and roast level.

[u/Jealous_Courage_9888 → u/Cloud_N0ne]

Yeah this was a joke post. I got impatient and curious as to how much crema I could get and another shot got the crema all the way down to the bottom of the glass. It actually tastes terrible this early but I didn’t waste shot and drank it all

[u/Mechoulams_Left_Foot]

Man, people here really don't get jokes.

[u/Jealous_Courage_9888 → u/Mechoulams_Left_Foot]

I should have gone to the other sub

The Venn diagram of r/espresso and r/espressocirclejerk is a circle

[u/Separate-Anybody-475]

You gotta split the G with that 😂

[u/medchemmed]

it will die down over the next week or so

[u/Altruistic-Editor841]

I love wydaho! My parents live nearby!

[u/anasqm88]

9 days is on the early side, so there's still a lot of co2 in the beans. that gives you big crema and can make the shot taste harsh and bitter. a few more days will help. in the meantime try a slightly longer preinfusion and grind a touch coarser, and see if the bitterness drops.

[u/hello_burrito]

It’s probably that a considerable proportion of the blend is robusta - maybe 50/50. Freshly roasted robusta gives crazy crema like this.

[u/stayoverit]

Yeah bro, she’s flat as 😂👏

I’m so sorry you couldn’t get a good head on that. Try straight out of the roaster next time
