Replicating consistently good shots is an art form to be sure. Some of the best shots I have had are when I thought I had messed up. It's then that I discover that a small change in temperature, a little coarser grind, the tamp, the brew time and length of the pull, all add up to the perfect cup.
It's a lot like tuning carburetors. Once you get it right, something will change and then you adjust.

I'll stick with drip. I can't hardly even get the morning cuppa Joe to my lips some mornings let alone calibrate the grind, tamp, temp, time and length of pull.
