Hi Rujir,
ups sorry, it was definitely better!!:) dunno what made such a huge difference, perhaps it was the seal between the filter and the carafe? I know this can probably influence the brew quite a lot, so I'm not sure if it was the rinsing part. Sometimes when rinsing I used to lift the back of the paper filter to let some air into the carafe when removing the hot water before brewing (otherwise the water 'chokes' and tends to come out unevenly which is a bit dangerous as it tends to flow everywhere, sometimes including your hands). So I'm guessing I was disturbing the seal between the paper and the glass and it was coming out bad. To be honest I dunno which is highly annoying as I can't understand the whole process properly. Then again it seems to be like that through the coffee brewing methods, we still understand so very little of what is actually going on, with espresso probably at the very top of the 'I've got no idea what's going on' list.
Regards,
dsc.
