Why I Finally Stopped Pulling 1:2 Espresso Shots for Light Roasts

Stop choking your light roasts! For years, the golden rule of espresso has been the traditional 1:2 ratio, but applying that to light roast coffee is a recipe for sour, under-extracted shots.In this video, I break down why I’ve completely thrown out the old rulebook. I’m moving away from fine grinds and tight extractions, and instead switching to a coarser grind size combined with longer 1:4 and 1:5 ratios. By pushing more water through a coarser puck, we dramatically increase extraction efficiency, balance out the harsh acidity, and finally unlock the sweet, floral, and fruity notes hidden in light roast beans.If you've been struggling to make your light roasts taste good at home, this simple workflow shift changes everything. 💬 JOIN THE CONVERSATION:What is your go-to ratio when brewing light roast espresso?
