Being an avid coffee drinker, let me throw in the following variables. 1. Are the temperatures of the boiler the same? 2. Are the shots pulled after temperatures have stabilised or pulled between heatup of the water in the boiler 3. External variable - The consistency of the grinder. Different grinders will grind different tasting shots. The type of blades and the speed of the grinding will affect quality of the grind and prevent burning of the coffee beans 4. External variable - The age and freshness of the beans as well as the humidity of the room will affect the grinding and taste.
So like hi-fi, I feel that one should look at other variables that also affect our perception of good vs less good. These factors are not necessarily measurable. One listener may be more sensitive to stimuli that another will not detect and which may in the face of opposition prove to be correct after repeated testing when others have dismissed these differences as imagined or unproven. -- maxrob200 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ maxrob200's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=21644 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=56712 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
