I just got 2 espresso makers to make the tea fast and strong . I Understand brewing the grounds a second time, but does using the liquid from the first brew in making the second brew make it any stronger than plain water and mixing the 2?
I'm not a particularly scientific person

but if I have 4 single brew either 9 or 12 cup espresso makers and run it through once, then I do feel it a bit by the end but that's around 7g daily or more.
Sorry just noticed, to prove my point, I've only had the 1 cup, with the potency I have, I actually been slowing down. Did the tea, using my normal method, plus only used
If I do the reusing method I feel a massive difference and would feel 50g more than the 100

, I've had only this way for

18 months, with max 10 days off in total genuinely. I know that when I had the tea earlier, my right looks outwards and other is straight ahead. That for me is when I'm smashed, my only issue is balance when I get it
Few really important points.
-- Never pack it down, just use the coffee scoop and fill it over, then use a bank card, ruler etc to smooth off the excess and make sure all covered and levelled out. Otherwise the water can't be pushed through the grounds.
--I actually don't bother reusing for 2nd run, doesn't make that much difference!!!! Reusing the original tea with fresh pods does.
--tighten up as much as possible, I've had it before where liquid drips out of the screw section.
--Clean regularly..... especially the metal piece at bottom, the plastic ring that covers it. Plus the cup itself, I was finding sometimes if I tried running under tap, the water doesn't drain in a straight line..... if you see that there are 3 bumps looking into the cup, it means you can push mesh off. I use the blunt end of a wooden kebab stick and push out mesh, through the tube. Amazing how much gunk can accumulate, which likely to cause blockage.
-- Finally start the heat off very slow. My hob goes to 5, I use it on about ½, then near the end increase the heat...... doing it like, that means the powder is getting fully absorbed. However by the end it may sound like all the waters passed but that's because the water/tea bottom piece needs more pressure to push out any liquid remaining.
-- Apart from that

always leave enough room and don't go past the pressure valve. I also look from the inside.
--I have found through the probably 1000 times, put in a tiny smidge of water, in the top, enough to cover the bottom...... not sure why but it might o help stopping overheating it
All I can think of at the moment

, if you need any other advice then msg mate
