Filter Basket: Fine Mesh, Evenly Distributed The filter basket features a fine mesh design, ensuring an even distribution of the coffee grounds.

Channeling in Coffee Extraction Channeling occurs when water takes the path of least resistance during the extraction process, resulting from uneven grinding, distribution, or tamping of the coffee grounds. This leads to over-extraction in some areas and under-extraction in others, resulting in an imbalanced flavor profile.

Identifying Channeling Channeling can be identified by observing spurting or streams of liquid spraying from the filter basket during brewing, as well as holes or cracks in the spent coffee grounds after brewing.

Stopping Bottomless Portafilter Channeling To achieve a smooth shot with a balanced flavor, it's recommended to make adjustments to your process one at a time, rather than overhauling everything at once. This systematic approach will help you identify the most effective changes to your brewing technique.

Suggestions to Stop Channeling 1. Use fresh roasted beans: The freshly ground coffee will expand rapidly when in contact with water, automatically filling any channels or uneven areas, allowing for an even flow through the coffee bed. 2. Utilize a WDT tool: A WDT (Weiss Distribution Technique) tool can gently rake through the coffee bed, breaking up clumps and evenly distributing the grounds before tamping. 3. Employ a distribution tool: A distribution tool can help level out the grounds, preparing them for tamping. Ensure to only apply light pressure during distribution, reserving more pressure for the tamping process.
