BDT: Bugs Distribution Technique
Bugs learned how to prepare a coffee puck for espresso from Scott Rao https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kJbQuGwNGMM but she has modified her technique to use an angled, rotating portafilter during grinding. In our tests, this is giving us the most even espresso extractions of any technique.
The name BDT is meant to be a tongue-in-cheek homage to John Weiss' popular WDT technique, which Bugs does use as well, after the coffee has been ground.
The combination of Bugs' grinding-into-the-corners approach, followed by WDT, gives us the best espresso shots we've ever seen.
You can use this technique with any grinder (such as the Niche) which does not lock the portafilter into one location.
