The Most Effective Distribution Method for Espresso Extraction

🔬The Blind Shaker method, which involves shaking and tamping the grounds, resulted in the highest extraction yield.

⚙️Contrary to popular belief, the use of WDT (Weiss Distribution Technique) did not significantly affect the extraction yield.

🤝Collaboration with experts in the field, Dr. G and Dr. Smurk, provided valuable insights on the effectiveness of different distribution methods.

📊The data analysis revealed no significant correlation between extraction yield and extraction time.

🧪These findings challenge traditional practices and highlight the importance of experimenting with different distribution methods to achieve optimal extraction.
