Anyone using a naked portafilter at home?
I have a single spout portafilter that came with my beloved ECM Botticelli eight years ago and I have come to realize that I never use it because it is so much more easy to tamp the the double spout.
Currently I'm living in Namibia and find it very very difficult to get good fresh roasted beans. So I'm having to play around with grind/tamping variations to an alarming degree. I'm thinking a little homemade espresso porn might help the situation.
Does anyone have any experience with one of these babies (is it harder to get a good tamp), or better, has anyone made one from a regular portafilter?
