The UpShot espresso shot mirror is a perfect companion to a bottomless portafilter to watch your extraction live, check for channelling, and whether you are using the right grind size.

The UpShot mirror is unique as it sits on the edge of the cup, bringing that mirror closer to your portafilter and giving you a better close up look at the extraction. 
The UpShot mirror is made from an ultra thin tempered and edgeless glass and ships with an adhesive magnetic dot so that it can easily be magnetised directly on to your espresso machine or near your coffee station.

Quick:

Place the UpShot mirror on the edge your cup then press to adjust the vertical angle. If you regularly use the same cup, the UpShot will always be set just right.

Versatile:

A little push is all it takes to adjust the UpShot to any desired angle, from completely horizontal all the way up to almost vertical.

Magnetic Mount:

Apply the magnetic dot to the wall or on your espresso machine to keep the mirror handy at all time.

Included:

1x Subminimal UpShot Mirror

ESPRESSO

Espresso is one of the most concentrated beverages that humans can't seem to get enough of. Making perfectly dialed in coffee can be challenging at times but is not impossible, especially with the right tools.

  • COFFEE TO WATER RATIO

    When brewing espresso you are constantly adjusting your variables to dial in your coffee. The coffee to water ratio is one of these variable.

    Generally an espresso has a 1:2 Ratio but this isn't always the case and sometimes the word 'espresso' acts more as an umbrella term for coffees that are outside of this ratio.
    A Lungo has a 1:3 ratio and a ristretto has a 1:1 ratio of coffee to water.

  • WATER TEMPERATURE

    Brewing espresso at different water temperatures will change how your coffee is extracted and the overall taste of your espresso.
    Using a hotter water temperature will increased the body and sweetness but will have a greater chance of astringency and bitterness, while cooler water temperature will reduce bitterness, body and sweetness and can resulting in a sour, brighter espresso.

    COFFEE MACHINES 
  • PRESSURE FOR ESPRESSO

    Pressure is a critical factor in brewing espresso, typically measured in bars. The most common pressure for extracting espresso is around 9 bars. Proper pressure ensures optimal extraction, balancing the flavours and aromas.

    Adjusting your pressure throughout the one extraction is known as pressure profiling and is an entire rabbit hole in itself.

  • FRESHLY GROUND VS PRE-GROUND

    Grinding your coffee right before you brew will drastically improve the taste of your coffee. The reason for this is that once you grind your coffee it has a much larger surface area and straight away starts to loose it's freshness.
