Review: Different Way To Make Tea. Faster than Steeping. Tight Fit for Profitec E61. - The Normcore is like a complicated pressurized basket. There's a little piston that's pressed against the portafilter body by a spring. It keeps water from flowing unless the water pressure from your brew pump is greater than the spring pressure. The spring compression can be increased/decreased by turning a hollow set screw at the bottom of the spout. It seems that subjecting tea to high water pressure somehow extracts the tea bits faster than normal steeping. There are a few variables you can adjust on the Normcore that impact how the tea is extracted: how much tea you put in the portafilter and the pressure at which the piston spring "gives" and releases tea. I played with the set screw to increase/decrease brew pressure but it's a little inconsistent... +/- 2 bar according to my grouphead's pressure gauge. You can of course adjust the brew temperature but that's independent of the portafilter. There's not a lot of data available for brew ratios on tea so I found myself making concentrated double espresso-sized tea shots that I diluted in hot water for consumption. I found some YouTube videos where folks were making tea drinks that worked better with concentrated tea so that's another use. I suppose the Normcore is handy if you don't have a teapot, have only an espresso machine, and want to brew loose leaf tea. However, if you don't clean your grouphead's innards, it's inevitable your tea will have a little hint of whatever coffee you extracted last. Cleaning the portafilter's screen requires you to remove a wire that's similar to the clip that holds a ridged basket inside an espresso portafilter. It flies off with impunity if you're not careful during removal and is stubborn to put back in. The spout is easily removed but you will have to overcome the pressure spring to screw the spout back on. I needed a straw brush and a test tube brush to scrub everything. One thing that I'll note is the metallic smell of the parts. I assume the Normcore is stainless steel but lower-quality stainless steel tends to smell and tastes like metal so if you're picky, it will be noticeable.

### ⭐ problem with linea mini

Do not fit in e61. it is too thick

### ⭐⭐ This is an odd one. Well made
*by A***K on January 2, 2025*

The short review is this: There are better ways to make tea. The longer answer is this: This is a pressure adjustable portafilter. It is well made from quality materials by Normcore. Normcore is a company with a good reputation and a reputation for making high quality coffee accessories. The portafilter It arrives without any instructions, but is sold claiming that it provides a convenient way to make tea using an espresso machine. Delivering on that promise is a project left to the imagination of espresso enthusiasts. Let's think about this- with espresso, we grind coffee into small particles so that we might quickly extract solubles from the beans. Pressure is necessary because a cake of coffee dust would otherwise simply clog. If we wanted to steep the beans, we'd make a french press. With tea, we don't have the problem of having ground the tea into tiny bits and forming a cake. It's normally steeped like a french press. So what role does pressure play? Well, tea is usually made up of large pieces that water may flow through. So we don't need pressure to push water through tea. Maybe we are supposed to grind up the tea? An alternative idea might be that we are forcing gases out of the tea leaves. Water doesn't actually compress. When put under pressure in the presence of a gas, it is the gas that compresses. So putting tea in this contraption may force any gases that are trapped in the tea leaves to compress and later come out in the solution of water. Maybe thats the magic that's supposed to happen? So I did four experiments. First I tried putting green, loose leaf tea in this portafilter to see if pressurized water was able to quickly make a cup of tasty tea. The short answer is this: No. It's watery, bitter and terrible. Second, I tried putting black, pu erh tea into the portafilter and did the same experiment. Same result. Third, I tried the black tea again, but this time I gave the portafilter a pre-infusion dose of water and let it sit for a minute, and then ran six ounces of water through the portafilter. What I got this time was something close to a drinkable cuppa. OK, but not great. It would have been easier to simply steep tea. The last experiment- I ran 16g of pu erh black tea (that's the stuff that is formed into a hard cake) through a hand grinder, with a rather largish setting I might use for espresso. I packed this into the portafilter with a measured pressure tamper- same as I use for espresso. I pre-infused for 20 seconds and then pulled a 6 oz cuppa. In this case, I got a decent cup of tea. And better, when I pulled a second cup a minute later. Good, not great. It would have been better if I had steeped it. The portafilter is well made. I understand the ambition. It's a fun experiment, but to be honest, it's easy to steep tea, and this is a needless complication. You know, there are many espresso machines out there that use this type of pressurized portafilter so that consumers may use coffee that has been pre-ground for percolators. That's what this thing is. If ever I need to use pre-ground coffee, this might be able to make a decent cup of espresso with that stuff. In the mean time, It will take up space in my coffee accessory drawer. It's a very nice thing and I can't part with it. It's a novelty and it's kind of fun. But it's not very useful for making tea- in my opinion. One final note- If I've missed the trick and this thing actually makes awesome tea, there's one more thing to be aware of. This portafilter drops down an extra inch when compared to a regular, two spouted portafilter. If you have a small E61 machine, your may have a challenge getting a cup under this portafilter. I hope this review helps!
