Espresso: ricetta e dosi

Passo dopo passo: Espresso 1:2 - Dial-In Baseline

Ricetta professionale, una delle ricette selezionate di campioni, torrefazioni e della redazione di Atlas.

Classic 1:2 espresso baseline: fix the dose, fix the yield, change only the time. Sour -> grind finer. Bitter -> coarser. Follows Matt Perger dial-in logic (dose first, yield second, time third).
