Barista at a tiny shop in Portland showed me something about temp control
I was at this hole in the wall place last month called Nossa Familia and the barista pulled a shot that tasted way brighter than mine at home. I asked what they did different and she pointed out my brew temp was probably too high because I just clicked the button without checking the gauge. Turns out I was running at like 205 when 200 is the sweet spot for medium roasts. Has anyone else found a big difference by just dropping the temp a few degrees?

Wait, do you just hit a button and not check the temp gauge first? I used to be the same way and it made all my shots taste burnt. Dropped down to 198 and honestly the difference was huge, way more sweetness came through.
