Oh never thought about that. I guess if you work all day as a Barista your hands get tough skin and you have to work fast to keep up with orders. Thanks

You do a little at first, but then you get used to it. That’s why baristas have so pretty hands;) The skin gets hard and resistant. Then again you move your hands pretty fast, so you don’t stick to the hot metal for very long at a time…

Comment on Vibiemme Domobar Super Choking on Second shot? by Ken

Long time since I made this post. The problem was basically me still adjusting to a HX E61 machine from the la Pavoni lever. I didn’t let the portafilter sit in the machine as it was warming up, hence after a shot it was heated up and the shot flow got restricted and finally choked. On the Pavoni, if you leave the PF out of the machine you get a shot or two more before it overheats.
