Pulled a dark roast shot on my Flair Pro 2 and despite how fast it pulled (~30s w/ 10s preinfusion) it still came out pretty bitter. Assumed the temp had something to do with it as I normally steam the brew chamber and try to get it as hot as possible. Didn’t steam it as much and lowered the ratio a bit and got a significantly less bitter shot. Still surprised how strong it tastes however. Is this typical for dark roasts? I usually drink medium-light roasts so this is a bit of a surprise. The shots have some of the nicest crema I’ve seen at least
