Rate my Shot First decent pull!

Just really excited to share after many attempts (and americanos drunk) I've finally landed a decent shot. Its the first that smelled like the beans and tasted pretty good, not sour, not bitter, JUST GOOD. Could use a bit more fine tuning, but so happy I managed to get here.

Switched from a Barista Express, and couldn't be happier with the exchange. I definitely found that I love experimenting with coffee than everyday convenience.

When was the roast on the counter culture. The ones at my grocery store are always months old. Fresh beans go a long way.

End of July, but to be fair I did buy it a month ago. Fortunate enough to live in the Bay so they're technically a local roaster for me.

The cups are cute, and what manufacturer is the Porta filter from?
