Are you dealing with channeling and weak espresso shots at home? The problem might not be your beans, grinder, or even your espresso machine. It could be something as simple as how you lock in your portafilter.
In this video, I’ll show you one of the most common mistakes home baristas make: rushing the portafilter into the grouphead. That sudden impact can cause the coffee puck to detach, leading to channeling and under-extraction. The fix is simple: take your time, prep your puck, and lock in gently. By slowing down, you not only improve your shots but also enjoy the process of making espresso at home.
If you’ve been struggling with channeling, try this tip and see the difference in your next shot!
