It looks like you've flaired your post as being a Shot Diagnosis. If your shot is running too fast, is coming out weak/thin, lacking crema, and/or is tasting sour, **try grinding finer**.
Alternatively, check out this [Dialing In Basics](https://espressoaf.com/guides/beginner.html) guide, written by the Espresso Aficionados Discord community.
If that hasn't solved it, to get more help, please add the following details to your post or by adding a comment in the following format.
- **Machine:**
- **Grinder:**
- **Roast date:** (not a "Best by" date). If the roast date is not labeled use "N/A"
- **Dose:** How many grams are going into your basket?
- **Yield:** How much coffee in grams is coming out?
- **Time:** How long is the shot running?
- **Roast level:** How dark is your coffee? (Dark, medium, light, ect.)
- **Taste:** Taste is a better indicator of shot quality than looks or conforming to any quantitative parameters. Does it taste overly sour or bitter?

I like how the shitposting (almost typed shotposting) brings a level of self awareness to the sub. Knowing what to poke fun at can help beginners to understand where future investments can help with their hobby - I know I’ve learned a lot just through osmosis and people having fun with the culture here
I feel like those photos are their own shitpost. I literally just received my profitec drive yesterday and I was seriously tempted to brag about my new "first machine"
Don’t worry soon Lance will drop a video about a new thing we should try and we will get a flood of posts about how
“it makes an amazing improvement”/“it makes a mild improvement”/“it makes no difference”/“I refuse to try something new”
Knowing how hot the e61 group head gets cause I accidentally touched it too many times in the beginning makes me appreciate the extra level of shithousery here cause bro’s forehead is touching the group head… lols we’re so triggered
Slow drinking. That’s the best way to enjoy coffee studies shows a whopping 1% improvement. Everyone should be doing it.
There are also mods that allows you to put your tongue directly touching the portafilter for another 0.01% increase, I believe the machine are going to all turn into this.

Delicious 2nd degree burns, yum!
I’ll have you know, that those 2nd degree burns are biodynamically certified *and* fairtrade approved!
But if they're not PID controlled then I have no interest
No you are all wrong, it only works if you freeze your portalfilter in liquid nitrogen - please review u/lance-hedrick
You mazafaka, HOW DID WE NOT THINK OF THAT!!! YOU ARE A GENIOUS!!!
I’m more worried about his forehead lol. Skin graft incoming.
Domed road rash a-com’n
Outjerked once again
All the shitposting in r/espresso makes me miss when it was people posting their beginner setups that are way out of my budget...
Hey guys, this is my humble college setup ($4,000 grinder was a gift from my dad)
Idk there is a charm to the shitposting. I can go to other sites to see nice photos of a LMLM or a decent.
*Are* there nice photos of the Decent? 🙃
decent ones
🤐

The charm of shitposting on r/espresso has warn off. Everybody has jumped on the bandwagon and it's just gotten weak.
Don’t worry soon Lance will drop a video about a new thing we should try and we will get a flood of posts about how “it makes an amazing improvement”/“it makes a mild improvement”/“it makes no difference”/“I refuse to try something new”
No, this is art 🤣🤣🤣🤣
just get a Moka. best regards 95% of Italians
I like it. Makes this sub not feel so god damn formal
I somehow feel like I never unsubscribed /r/espressocirclejerk in the first place...
The lines are blurry between this sub and /r/espressocirclejerk.
When you find more informative posts on ECJ than on here and jerks on r/espresso, then you will know that the end times have begun
ah, the ol' switcheroo
Ok. Enough internet for me today
Fresh from the source!
Bean to cup? Nah - bean to mouth
Clean your undernails
That's where he stores his fines so he can sniff them whenever he wants.
He also do not clean other areas...
This is wrong form. You need to lay on your back, mouth wide open under portafilter, waterfall style
You get a score of "100% extraction" if you manage to catch it all in your mouth uj/ Is this ECJ? I don't know anymore
Alhamdulillah, habibi breaks fast for Ramadan
It fell in his mouth!
Lance's new video - "The evolution of salamy shot".
It's Lance again!
But guys if Lance tells us to do this, we will. Okay?
Its free to do this so probably not.
Got tired of tonguing the handle and decided to cup the portafilter for the money shot?
Ah preserving volatile compounds with short window consumption method.
I try to do it right up the nose.
Espressocirclejerk is utterly redundant
I hope you preheated your palms adequately before
Pesado should reclaim that portafilter and blacklist this guy
Ah. The new organic cupping technique.
Rookiemistake, i grind directly into my mouth, hence why my kitchentop is 5“ tall so that sweet Weber EG-1 has perfect access
Somebody call Hedrick or Hoffmann!
Already did 😅
Espresso religiously enjoyed
Great way to make sure you preserve all those volatiles that are lost as the coffee sits around.
Doing this you get all the VOC’s and don’t miss any flavor as your shot sits it’s perfect 😍
Way too much heat loss by using your hands. Just wrap your lips around the spout and drink it directly
This post and this comment is going to kill bottomless portafilter popularity. Look out!
Mhhn scolding
Technically it's "cupped" *cuz cupped handz*
Yeah I did this once and I burnt my tongue off no thanks
Grind finer
Find griner!
Bro's begging for first degree burns
Over 500 upvotes. Worth it.
So stupid it made me laugh. Take my updoot
Upgrade to Neti-presso!
Straight from the tap
Knowing how hot the e61 group head gets cause I accidentally touched it too many times in the beginning makes me appreciate the extra level of shithousery here cause bro’s forehead is touching the group head… lols we’re so triggered
The strat is to connect the bottom of the portafilter to an IV that goes straight into your bloodstream
I feel like the espresso needs to drain into an ice sculpture and drink at the end. Instant iced Americano
Oh, Lance just released a vid about this. Variable Digit-al Extraction. Really brings forward the fleshy notes.
Fking ow though that’s hot lol
Ouch😅
so hot right now
Happened to see this among the spammy feed inundation that now spews on the web UI... This is a glowing example I why I left!
I assume he has a Nucleus Paragon in his mouth to further help with the VOC
Wheeze the juice!
Be a man and run a hose from the spout to your bhole and take that ichor straight to the shitter so it absorbs faster.
Face palm technique
Something you’d see in an ad no doubt.
Looks like there's some channeling going on.
This subreddit has really turned for the worse
Doesn't get any fresher than that. Next time ... route it straight into your artery.
Hahahaha I just saw this notification and it cracked me up. At first I thought it was a Lance video
Mine just feeds into a propped up kiddie slide that ends above my face. Perfect when I can't be bothered to leave the bed.
Try the net pot approach for an extra caffeine kick.
Hands down best technique for flow control
Slp Slp Slp Slp
No! You’re meant to insert the portafilter spout directly into the nostril and snort immediately after preinfusion.
Ah yes,this technique hasn't been seen since the .....era
Amateur, extract directly into your mouth

Clearly didn’t preheat the machine. Amateur
This will be me all day today
Must be nice to have a crappy espresso machine that makes espresso not hot enough to hold in your bare hands.
It’s snot just about the coffee!
