Over the past 6 months or so, I have been making lots of data-based videos. A lot of this was in intentional preparation for this video wherein I showcase how I approach brewing a 9 bar shot. Yes, it is complicated. No, I am not recommending you do this. I simply wanted to demonstrate how one can be lead by science and data to evolve their own routine. Taste is the number one goal, but being able to make educated steps in the process is invaluable.
Enjoy!

Ok. Seems I need to make yet another pinned comment due to many assumptions and inferences made in comments.
This is how I, me, Lance, approach an espresso. For me. My style. My taste preference with this profile.
It very obviously won't maintain 9 bar. On any machine. With this prep, it will force a declination of pressure. It's a way around forcing the grounds finely enough for maintenance of 9 bar over the shot.
This is why I made it ONLY after covering turbo shots, distribution, tamping, wdt, etc. The hope is people know and understand those so this makes sense. It is NOT a "beginners guide to espresso." That is not the title. This is how I make espresso with this very common profile, I.e. 9 bar.
So, if you're looking for beginner, I've made plenty tutorials.
I'm running 9. but i wish i could tamper with it like on the decent. Many years of saving required. Hopefully by then its become more standard to offer features on most machines 1k+ without mods. For now i invest in roasting to produce my ideals.
@LanceHedrick You will have so many fanboys jizz sour shots over the next few days
Daddy Hoff who? Long live Daddy Lance!
This is a pretty epic video Lance, your take on spro is invaluable
It would be nice if you could tell what "9 bar profile" is for non decent owners.
In a nutshell: forget about rules, avoid channeling at all costs and trust your taste. Thank you Lance!❤
It's amazing to me how many people don't dial by taste.
people often cant even tell the difference between sour and bitter and you expect them to dial in by taste?@@joshk528
Lance did a video on this.
Sour sweet bitter

How I learned to stop worrying and learned to love 15 sec shots. Thank you, Lance!
yeah this is huge for me, I spent soooo long beating myself up because my shots were fast, I often made worse espresso chasing 30s shots
I find it all depends on my roast level. Some i like to push shorter for more acid, fruity shots. Others slower for more body, deeper choc thickness.
Yeah if I'm making lattes or milk drinks for friends I try to push the longer shot.
Im in the other side of the spectrum with a 6 bar machine on the job. 34 to 42 seconds normally on a double shot (depends from the bean) and taste amazing
@@diegouribe342 I may have to move to 6. Seems it may suit me better.
“Just roast me for being too complicated down below”
😂😂😂😂
Lance this is so fun to watch. I literally have no idea how anyone could bring you hate. You are such an insane gem to the coffee community and THOUSANDS of us would be SO much worse off without your knowledge. Somebody thumbs this crap up if you want to show Lance that he’s improved your coffee skills & knowledge.
I GET it, we all want to bring some SHRED and say “YA WELL I BREW WITH MY PANTS OFF AND ITS BETTER SO YOURE WRONG LANCE CAUSE YOU WEAR PANTS” (rhymes)
Everybody just take a chill pill and acknowledge this man’s contribution to our coffee lives. What trips me is you always say “this seemed to be proven by my/someone’s tests” or “this isn’t proven this is just my feeling” and yet people still try to roast you?? Blows my mind. Blows it right out the socket.
Anyways cheers everyone enjoy a good cup of coffee thanks to Lance the G. We’re almost to the point where we need to address him as Daddy Lance… can’t just have one coffee daddy now can we
This felt like a capstone presentation on home Espresso and it gets an A++ for ingenuity, referencing past work and brilliant editing 👏
Bro just pulled a 15 second shot.. my head is going to explode 🤯
Yeah I thought the same. My 15 second shots are always super sour. Erring on the courser side mitigates that I guess
It's all about extraction 😂
@@TylerH266 if they are sour you may wanna do something to your water
I only do this with dark roasts
how does a high extraction basket work? I use a standard naked basket and am just curious
My home espresso is better than it could've ever been otherwise, solely thanks due to Sir Lance.
You do great work for this community. There’s lots of us out there silently appreciating all that you do. You’ve really been doing something extra special lately. Be sure to take time to re-charge!
This is so validating, I have been pulling 20 second coarser looser shots as Lungos 13g in 42g out bc it just tasted good was more consistent than when I aimed for 30 second 1:2 ratio.
Since your wdt video I have switched to blind shaking with my dosing cup and the porta filter out together, niche, with minimal surface level wdt and my shots have only gotten better and more consistent.
Love the growth you have shown over the last year thank you so much for giving us that sweet data and entertainment.
It's been great to watch you find your pocket in YT coffee content. This was a beautiful mix of editing, detail and workflow. Bravo Lance.
Thanks Lance. Just love seeing you bring it all together. Happy brewing!
The production qualities of your videos are always up there. Love the music.
A pristine presentation of your personal process. Thanks Lance!
Love your recent style of content creation rather than old ones! Thumbs up Lance!
Man… absolutely amazing to see how your production quality increased. Super engaging and just fun to watch. Thanks for doing what you doing!
Love your obsession and detail, but also levity, thank you! Really enjoyed this mini series deep dive with a clean summary into an actual workflow, putting theory, study, testing, and learning to practice.
Really good editing and sfx in this one.
Props to you and your team!
This is such a great vid. I love that they connected into one another. Makes it super helpful. And for the people who do not spend as much time on it, I am sure it's nice to just have one 11 min vid to watch if they wanted just that.
Lance, I love this. It's awesome to see the practical reality of how someone that knows so much actually does this, it gives me a realistic sense of what I can do differently.
Love all your content man! You do really enjoyable videos. I watch all of them all the way through because of the incredible information and its alway entertaining! I'm sure its a ton of work but I truly appreciate your efforts! Thank you sir!
Editing here is great, especially in the first part with the calm music and purposeful pacing.
You are incredible!!! Lots of knowledge to help everyone. I learn a lot from you and when I think there's nothing left to say, you come up with a lot of interesting news. I started espresso a month ago and I only watched your latte art video once and managed to pull a heart (not the best, but my wife loved it)
Editing 🔥
Content 🔥
Singing + dad jokes 🔥
To me coffee is super relational and your love for people comes through in these videos. Thanks for moving through ball forward and for making us all smile in the process
This video is awesome Lance, great tutorials for the coffee geek mass. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us, it gives us smiles every morning.
really enjoy the little espresso serie.
And love the culmination of this one.
You are great at coffee and an excellent entertainer that's for sure 👍❤️
Lance and James changed my life for good. My home espresso now tastes better than 99% os the stuff I've had out. And my total budget is within 250 USD. ( machine, grinder and all ).
2:04 I think I spot a hair. With multiple dogs my eyes are trained for these things!
damn. Thought nobody would notice! 😵💫
Keep the content coming. You’re doing such a great job!
Lance i salute you... i credit you on a list of many that have gotten me into the world of espresso... If i could not filter espresso via paper i would have never tried espresso. Thank you for educating me and others how to get the most out of our precious resource Coffee!
Thanks Lance! This was a great series. It helped me so much! Keep up the great work!
Great video Lance, thanks for sharing!
I followed some of your steps like slow grinding my beans, shaking the grinds in a makeshift blind shaker like contraption and played with flow control using the lever of my espresso machine. OMG. The best shot I have ever had and I was able to replicate this multiple times. Thanks so much for the tips
Thank you, Lance, you make my day!
Lance you are a true hero! Love your approach and your attitude! Great combination of science, art and lovely craziness! Thank you so much for these videos! And yeah, - I have definitely made better espresso after watching your content...
Man, it is so cool to see people just pure enthusiastic about the stuff they do. Thanks for the vid, I am a beginner but I can't wait to get to at least a similar level of proficiency in espresso making!
Amazing production value on this one.
Very interesting! Thanks again Lance! Will definitely experiment!
Been waiting for this. Such an insightful process. Thank you Lance.
It'd be interesting to see other drinks you make that might vary to how others make them - such as milk based drinks perhaps?
Bro this video is surprisingly short and sweeeeet. I like it man😄👍
As a guy who has been new to the espresso world, thank you so much for your informative videos and helping me save incredulous amounts of time + money in regards to which tools and what workflows are optimal.
Classicalvin. Welcome to the rabbit hole. Enjoy your new hobby of spending money, lol! (I first started espresso in 2004. Things have changed and it has cost me!)
love the music...You're a treasure Lance, thanks for your effort!
After your first shake-shake-shake video, I was literally in my kitchen grumbling "how the hell is he doing this!" Having some follow-up process shots was super helpful, thanks!
Got my first Standart mag. Thanks Lance!
Great video as always :-) I am so happy to see I’m not the only one pulling fast shots. I have struggled with grind size just to hit the magic 25-30 secs, but now I see that might not be necessary. Thank you LH :-)
I asked a Glitch Tokyo barista how they pull shots and this is very close to what they said. 20 g dose, 1:2 ratio, 18-20 s. I was surprised how fast they were pulling shots. But boy were they the tastiest espresso drinks I’ve had. Thank you, Lance, for kinda explaining how and why this method works.
Thank you. It is interesting to watch your process. I am amazed how much variation in shot time can produce wonderfully complex espresso. I just had some new beans, and the Grind was "too fine" with a 45 sec shot(20 in 40 out). The shot tasted great. So many options, variable results, so much fun.
I always have done long shots, 40-50 secs, always good tasting espresso.
Loved the video Lance!!!
Love, love, love your videos!❤ As a newbie espresso maker you have taught me so much….your sense of humor (and singing 🎶) put a smile on my face! “Shake it girl” 😂
Realy, can't thank you enough. You have brought the yum back.
Super thanks, just what I wanted to see, great video.
I get your vibe Lance. Thanks for posting.
Always enjoyable, the music adjustments have been great lately too!
Great content as always Lance. You’ve helped my espresso journey started by my wife who gets kinky after 1 or 2 espresso martinis. Bought a gaggia classic pro evo
This dude makes me happy
You’re a boss. Love it. Thanks.
love seeing this routine
Dude you are awesome !!!! Greetings from the Netherlands
Dremeling the portafilter is a power move, looks great & personalized!
I was overwhelmed with excitement watching this!
r/espresso will be lit up tonight 🎉🎉🎉
Lol likely. Please make sure they all read the pinned comment and listen to me say people don't need these tools or this recipe. It is what works for me
you're videos are getting good
Big fan of the slightly coarser, faster shot. I haven't really posted online about always pulling sub-20s shots because I thought I was just weird, but it's good to know there are other people reaching the same conclusion.
I've always erred on the side of too fine and had some great long espresso shots but it usually isn't pretty or consistent so trying to go more standard shot timing lately. Going too coarse I've had good results too as long as I dont stop the shot too early. High extracting baskets seem better at doing the faster shots without being acidic.
@@BensCoffeeRants "High extracting baskets seem better at doing the faster shots without being acidic."
isn't that exactly the reason, though? higher extraction means it can do more work in less time. so while a lower extracting basket takes longer to get past the sour/acidic zone and into the sweet spot, a higher extracting basket can reach that sweet spot sooner.
Thank you Lance.
Awesome. Thank you! 🙏🏼
The densification conversation in the prev video set the wheels spinning. Pulling a shot with three different larger grind sizes mixed together evenly and getting the same flow rate and pressure as a normal grind size would be interesting. Wonder if it would do something similar for the taste as the 30g plus Aeropress recipes that were used for competition.
Thanks for sharing the secrets!
Love this video Lance!! Much respect!
Would you consider doing one on profiles please?
PSPH, ExDos, ExTres, Londinium, Flat 6, Blooming, declining pressure, temp etc etc
Thanks for sharing Lance, I can't believe how good the fast shots are! All this time we've been taught to chase 25-30s😂
Great video 🤙
Thumbs up, very nice informative video, and the editing, top notch
Thanks you! Very informative
Here for this!!
LOVE this thanks
Love the vid my dude!
If you're in the mood for more videos of the type, I'd love to see a full vid on how you dial in a new bag o beans.
My Blind Shaker arrives Thursday, impulse purchase, but aligns with simplifying the process rather than the opposite. Thanks Lance for the insights....
mine's coming in today. can't wait to drop wdt
I just bought the aliexpress model. To get the Blind shaker over was here more than €150.
Would love to see you do a video (or series) on dialing in (by taste) espresso for milk based drinks!
Fu**ing Awesome video!! love the content recently very well done!!
Didn't see that recipe coming (19 in / 45 out in 15 sec). Wow!
For dark roast its pretty typical
@@Cenot4phHe's not using a dark roast, he's using a light roast.
@@braticuss did I say that?
I know...the content is awesome as usual, but the SOUND TRACK...Wooooooooooooow! 🔊🎼🎧
Thanks Lance, great overview and I particularly appreciate your openness for more than one possible way to do things. This would be a boring hobby if there was a magic formula for perfection.
I would love a video on like a minimal prep. What is the things you absolutely should be doing every time. Least effort espresso that will be most of the way there.
Now for the next debatable topic in the series please. Would love to see effects of low, med and low RPMs for optimal espresso
Mr HEDRICK you naughty man . That shakes shakeup shake just absolutely blew my freaking mind. Had nothing to hand but a comandante catch flask so tried it anyway . Shook for about 7 seconds and WOAH honey I shrunk the coffee. Where did it all go it like honestly densified itself .
Slammed it in the VST and a tiny wdt and then tamped . And then tamped 👍 . And blimey fella you weren’t wrong it came out like a turbo shot 38g in 22s but omg the crema went bonkers and it was a really tasty shot also .
I’m impressed
Might move hose to the other side of the volcano now ❤
19g in, 45 out in … 15 seconds! Oh my god, this video couldn't be more important today. I pulled a 17g in, 42g out in 14 seconds doing slow-feeding into my Eureka and using the IMS NT basket. It was sweet and juicy, but FOURTEEN seconds?
Good video, thanks. FYI - I recently (by accident?) switched to 2xWDT, using the 8-needle WDT tool. First I do WDT inside the cup which contains the ground coffee from the grinder. Then I pour the distributed coffee grounds into VST portafilter double-shot basket (via funnel). Then I repeat the full WDT inside the portafilter basket. Finally, I level the coffee and tamp. I don't use the filter paper (tried it, did not like the in-cup taste, no body, too thin for me). I have not tried using puck screen (yet). I dont have the shaker, too expensive. Likewise I dont have $200 basket, too expensive. I just use the cheap 8-needles WDT tool, twice over. Visually with 2xWDT I see consistently less channelling and the taste inside the espresso cup is as good as I have ever achieved to date. Just sharing my experience. Love your work.
Gonna add some things to my gear setup Thanks
Thank you Lance! You make me want to get back to espresso. DE1 has been idling way too long because pour overs just taste so too damn good.
Love the series we went through, what a journey. I wish the Weber basket had a 54mm for the Bambino. Nice work!
Considering how Weber holds itself as a luxury/"prosumer" brand, they probably think 54mm is beneath them, tbh.
There are 48-54 shakers made by Craig lynn
@@rq2757the non magic tumbler that came with the hg2 or Key worked with my 51mm machine I think also 49mm not sure how or if it worked with the breville or la spaziale sized ones though. Also not sure if they have a lid that works with that one or their shaker is a dif design. I remember the middle part being higher than the walls of the cup so a regular lid wouldn't work.
yep - Craig Lyn perfect for La Pavoni baskets too.@@zach1860
Awesome video 👍
Great video, thanks Lance! A list of the products you used would be great for those of us who have trouble drinking from a fire hose😳
Great insight into your routine. I’m sure everyone that watches your channel regularly has come to value and trust your advice… not sure why a lot of these commenters are suddenly questioning you
Sprow sporw sporw your boat gently down the channel... something something WDT
Also great video Lance! Love how espresso is not that complicated we just make it so!
Lance, could you make a video sharing your current favorite coffee roasters in the US and also fav outside of the US? My favorite roaster is My Friends Coffee Roaster out of LA. I heard about them from a Scott Rao “best of” post on IG a few years ago. I also support my local roaster in town but love to order special stuff from time to time. Love your channel, thanks!
Go Lance go!😊
the production quality got to the cinema level
Coffee channel in Dolby surround sound. Incredible.
15s!!! Blowing my mind! I need to try some of these techniques and some of this tech. I use a Vario and a Synchronika and do rdt and wdt with stock baskets. Especially for lighter coffees I’m always happier when I’m pulling 30-34 sec shots. Anything less and I’m in unpleasant acidity land. I really don’t love the idea of using puck screens but maybe a new basket and paper filters might be a good next exploration
Yeah I think with a regular basket a quick shot might not work as well. You could try upping the temp and experiment with a quicker shot if you want but stick to what works for you and your coffee.
Love the Oynx Shirt, Lance!
Well done g
love it.
unreal editing to boot.
spro spro my boat to the other channel my homies
Love this video. Spro Spro Spro your boat down the....channel. Keep it up man. Thanks.
