Puck Compaction vs Soluble Solids Erosion
High initial pressure (9 bar) compresses the coffee puck, but as solubles dissolve, bed resistance collapses; maintaining 9 bar tears channels through weakened channels.
Declining Pressure Profiling Protocols
Tapering pressure in proportion to decreasing puck resistance preserves uniform laminar flow throughout the entire 30-second extraction window.
Low-Pressure Long Pre-Infusion at 2 Bar
Soaking the dry bed at 2 bar for 8 seconds hydrates coffee fines evenly, preventing micro-fissuring before full pressure is applied.
