A SHOT GOES WRONG. WHAT DO YOU CHANGE NOW?
Do you grind finer? Change the dose? Lengthen the ratio? Touch temperature?
You may improve the cup by changing several things at once… but then you won’t know what improved it.
THE PROBLEM ISN'T A BAD SHOT. IT'S NOT KNOWING WHY.
YOU DON'T NEED ANOTHER RECIPE.
You need a process that turns every extraction into useful information.

ONE EXAMPLE. TWO SHOTS. ONE DECISION.
SHOT 1 · 18 g → 36 g → 19 s
Sharp and light.
CHANGE: slightly finer grind. Dose and ratio stay the same.
SHOT 2 · 18 g → 36 g → 24 s
Sweeter. Acidity integrated.
IT WASN'T ABOUT 'HITTING 24 SECONDS'.
It was about changing one variable and checking what happened in the cup.
