The result is a beautifully even extraction! One amazing thing about the Cafelat Robot is the ability for you to control the pressure profile through the shot. Here I did a 15s pre-infusion at 2 bars of pressure, ramped up to 6-7 bars, then slowly back down again.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cafelat","offers":[{"title":"Matte Black","offer_id":45563612201253,"sku":"4897028573168","price":799.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Retro Green","offer_id":45563612234021,"sku":"4897028573045","price":799.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Red","offer_id":45563612266789,"sku":"4897028573069","price":799.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Blue","offer_id":45563612299557,"sku":"4897028573083","price":799.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Orange","offer_id":46560768491813,"sku":"4897028573793","price":799.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/9404\/7269\/files\/cover_7aa4e04f-7645-4501-8d54-515c2daef78b.jpg?v=1689148526"}],"url":"https:\/\/thebrewtherapy.com\/collections\/do-not-discount.oembed","provider":"The Brew Therapy","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
