The thing is, if your grinder is calibrated correctly then there's no such thing as tamping too hard, meaning that it won't result in a less tasty espresso. But if you work as a barista and have to pull hundred shots a day then saying "don't push too hard" refers to "don't push way harder than is necessary, otherwise it's gonna hurt after some time". But in a home environment where you make one or two shots a day you can press as hard as you want to
You’d be surprised how many baristas struggle to take that on board though. Worth noting that these studies are not peer reviewed, but only because it’s practically impossible in this industry to go through that process, let alone have the funding to. The data is there though, and credible.

You’ve clearly never been in the workforce if you’ve never heard of repetitive strain injuries.

Hi, welcome to how Italians, make coffee there’s a magical thing called a Moka pot. You don’t need to tap your coffee at all. You don’t need to aerate it you just put it in your twist the top and you put it on the stove with water in it and it makes espresso in about 5 minutes, best part is they only cost around 20 bucks not 400
Except it's not espresso. Moka pot produces max 2 bars of pressure. True espresso requires 9 bars. Nothing wrong with moka. I have three of them and use them. But it's not espresso despite what Bialetti and other moka pot makers like to call it. There's an Italian insitute that specs out what constitutes espresso.
@@RonDevito there is a SCAA definition of espresso but these days everyone ignores it and uses double the amount of coffee and longer brew times and messes around with various parameters including ones not mentioned by the definition. But yeah, moka pot coffee is still not espresso, it's just an easy way to make coffee. Proper Italians go to espresso bars to get espresso.
Maximum density doesn't exist. The only thing limited here is your power, you can actually make a neutron star from it. So keep on pushing
A coffee as black as a black hole
