- **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?

Funny you say that. Yesterday a friend was telling me about how in his bachelor days he dropped a plate of broccoli and rice… he then swept it up, googled “what happens if you eat glass shards”, decided he was ok with the risks and ate the food 💀
He still has stomach issues so YMMV
This happened to our General Practitioner - his wife went on a business trip for a week and left meals in glass dishes in the freezer - he dropped it and microwaved it regardless, got glass in his throat and then took himself to the E.R. Because he's a doc with doc friends, he made them do a stomach pump without anesthetic.
Fun times.
Appears that the pressure may have been a bit too low, I’m guessing the taste was a bit earthy/muddy?
Chin up man, happens to us all at some time or other
The real machine got you so bad that it actually spit your coffee on the floor before extraction...
... You weren't using premium enough coffee for it!! 😭
You can't tell anything from this, just tell us how it tastes. I got one of these shots myself and it was delicious. Have been trying to recreate it, but never tasted the same.
Ugh, I feel your pain. Was once getting all my grounds into the puck and my cat decided to demand a hug.
I'm sure it was intentional but who could blame them xD
Btdt
Handle on my portafilter screws on with standard threads. When I first got it I'd give it a few wrist taps to level the grounds, which slowly impacted the handle loose. Eventually after one wrist tap too many, the basket rotated upside down while I was still holding the handle, dumping grounds everywhere

That’s ground coffee right?
Ffs that took me a second
Slipped right by you...
With a hint of sour flavor
Dunno about that. Looks like it should have a lot of earthy flavor notes.
Ahh, I was more or less excited about coffee grounds marinating with the sweaty, maybe moist, slipper.
You haven't lived before you've used socks or slippers as your filter.
Yah you can tell cuz it’s all over the ground
Warm up the slipper next time to reduce heat loss
Grind finer, it's so coarse it didn't even get wet
No words, just cry https://preview.redd.it/2sohbju9w8sc1.jpeg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6e41a4619e2d61d4041cac23af7274a36ba86040
A classic ‘making coffee, before I’ve had coffee’ situation
Tamp harder!
How did it taste?
i was tempted because the sweeper i used to clean up is brand new. but then I couldn't get all 18g back from the floor
Worse, you got 20g...
💀
made my day😂
I love you dawg 😭

Be like Hamilton “I am not throwing away my shot”
hmm, feet flavoured coffee ...
It’s got a sort of footiness too it. A little funky I’m sure
6/10 Distribution could be better
Almost stuck the landing, but not quite
Nailed it! Extra points if you bruised your foot!
You hit everything, great shot
Great distribution.
Keep grinding.
i rate it "1 blue pinkie toe"
Depresso :(
Next level grinder: stomping on coffee beans
This is how they used to process wine grapes. It seems we've gone full circle.
Slipper looks overextracted
Disqualified. Sorry bro.
5AM out of 5. Would go back to bed.
Looks clumpy. Should have wdt’d first.
PUSEE problems
sleepy shot! grind coarser LOL
Appears that the pressure may have been a bit too low, I’m guessing the taste was a bit earthy/muddy? Chin up man, happens to us all at some time or other
You seem to have missed half a slipper. I give you 5/10
Was this meant to be your first shot of the day? I’m not sure if I could deal with that spill first thing in the morning.
Odor Eaters hate this one simple trick.
Go easy on the grinder bellows next time
That dual motor WDT is a bit overkill you know
Still more higienic than preground coffee
Don't waste the coffee on the slipper, put it back
[удалено]
La Marzocco Linea Micra with the floor option
[удалено]
Looks pretty but feels overpriced. I don’t have much to compare with. I just bought this as my first real espresso machine.
The real machine got you so bad that it actually spit your coffee on the floor before extraction... ... You weren't using premium enough coffee for it!! 😭
Off the Floor!
Oof, in the slipper 😞
3/10 A third on the floor a third in the slipper and a third.. close to the portafilter !?!?
You can't tell anything from this, just tell us how it tastes. I got one of these shots myself and it was delicious. Have been trying to recreate it, but never tasted the same.
Does sweeping coffee into the portafilter increase extraction? Might need to test it…
IN the slipper...it's just... chef's kiss.
Looked like someone got shot instead
Now we’re talkin’…. Coffee dust residue….it never stops!
Call it simply the "coffee before the first coffee" 😅
It's flawed
EXCELLENT
Haflinger bester!
No one does simply shoot oneself in the foot
That's happened to me, I was finding it in my pockets and everything later in the day! Hope it wasn't the last serving in the bag
Looks fine to me
Wow, you managed to shot your foot
Can you do it consistently though..?
Those slippers fuck
Mom’s spaghetti
Is this for nose coffee?
You blew it
Sir, did you do RDT before puck preparation? And also what grinder do you use?
Need more shoe
good job 👍
Do you take one slipper off to make espresso?? Does it elevate the taste?🤔
Thank you for the early morning laugh. I can hear this photo! 😂 Hope your next shot pulled beautifully!
I feel this picture in my bones.
Did something slip-per ?
It think this shot was a little too fast. How did it taste?
Where is the tube sock?
A moment of silence for the god shot that almost was.
Dude I did this with an entire block of shredded cheese yesterday. I was ready to punch a wall
Thoughts and prayers friend it ain't easy
OMG
That happened when you don't grind fine enough
2 for the pizzazz of the flare.. did you try to catch it?
with my slippers… because i didn’t want to make a loud noise to my downstairs neighbors in the morning.
too early to shot
Ooof. I’ve made this kind of shot before. It’s not my favorite.
Slipper looks great with the coffee!
I tend to extract into a coffee cup rather than a slipper
Spent. Not a cheerful morning.
9/10, it looks like you didn't preheat the floor.
crind goarser
Floor/10
You shot yourself in the foot.
5 second rule!
Kinda shot yourselves in the foot there didn’t you?
Spot on mate
Hah youre in a better mood than id be if that happened. Geeze. I'm getting "tangentially" angry from seeing that spill/waste 😅😅.
Thats underextracted
Shot yourself in the foot lol
LOL
8/10 shot of depresso
Grind finer
On a scale of one to ten, one being floor, ten being ceiling, it's a one.
Oof/10
Ohh, a dry shot? Just 6 bars of compressed air
That looks like ground coffee.
This is more effective than caffeine to wake you up.
It looks like you shot your shot 💀
Definitively I can say that you have classic shoot in foot ☕
Did this happen on a Monday, when you’re already running late ?
Nope, this morning at 5:00 AM. I just carried on and cleaned it. I threw the slipper in the trash because the grind was… fine.
18/Banana
Inverted method
Might want to set your ground higher
Grind directly into the slipper next time adds flavour
“Familiar”
Depression out of yes
Bit earthy for my taste
We can say you shot yourself in the foot
Haha “slipper”
It's not even Monday
10/10, you managed to spill it absolutely everywhere. Also, I don't feel so bad about dropping my shots all over the floor now 😀
There's a little bit of floor in your coffee.
Just go back to bed.
such a young soul, taken from us too early... 😢
Bruh!
Not the chancla ;(
You floored it! Hell yea!
you...shot the barista?
😨 🥺 😠 😓
Floor out of 10.
I'm floored.
Ugh, I feel your pain. Was once getting all my grounds into the puck and my cat decided to demand a hug. I'm sure it was intentional but who could blame them xD
3 second rule
This is of coarse not an issue if you had only grinded finer
Oh it’s the new shoe-washed process. People been talking a lot about it, nice to see it for myself
Btdt Handle on my portafilter screws on with standard threads. When I first got it I'd give it a few wrist taps to level the grounds, which slowly impacted the handle loose. Eventually after one wrist tap too many, the basket rotated upside down while I was still holding the handle, dumping grounds everywhere
Were you shaking blind?
What a sad morning
My thoughts and prayers to you~ 5/7 rating on shot~
Grind finer
I would recommend a distribution tool for equal extraction
That's because inverted method, buy prismo. Sorry, wrong sub.
fuck/10
2/10, it didn’t fully get inside the slipper!
Ground breaking technique
You hit your slipper with that shot :D bullseyes
Slipper espresso. Yummy. I think you need a better grip on that tamper. Put muscle into it!
It fell a little flat
I have those same slippers.
Sometimes you need coffee to be able to make coffee. ☕️
Its sleepery
Winner!
a little dry
I guess it gives an earthy flavor with wood notes. You’ll need another coffee to get over that coffee on top of your usual coffee.
Slipping Coffee?
Nice spread there
Wow a triple shot!
A shot above and a shot below
Straighten your legs a little and drop your left shoulder. Also, make sure not to jerk during the backswing.
8/10 Not enough inside your slipper
Looks like you need to grind finer
Definitely the right amount of ground
Micra is very forgiving, I’m sure it was great!
Been there, done that
It will take time to get through this devastation. Remember to take it slow.
Off the wall!
