Maybe a perfectly flat coffee bed isn’t always the answer.

Fusion shot basket system has a bit longer workflow but results cannot be ignored!! It definitely does not follow the exact espresso norms which everyone swears by!

In the cup, this shows quite clearly—more clarity, denser texture, and a significantly cleaner sweetness.

I’ve been thoroughly testing the new Fusion Shot System from @happy_tamper and the results have completely blown my mind. It completely breaks the traditional 'rules' we all know, but the results in the cup do not lie!

Fusion kit promises removal of bitterness and, honestly, that's what it does! No bitterness in the cup and shots are well rounded and sweet.

The Fusion Shot
TASTE THE TRUE FLAVORS OF YOUR COFFEE
What is the Fusion Shot and how does it work?
The Fusion Shot is the first and only true solution to channeling.
When shaped properly, the puck reconstructs itself under pressure, eliminating tiny imperfections that would otherwise become channels.
How does the Fusion Shot taste?
A 1-to-2 ratio Fusion Shot tastes balanced, full-bodied, sweet, bright, aromatic, and most importantly, bitterness-free.
How do I pull the Fusion Shot?
A proper Fusion Shot requires 3 steps: Shaking, Shaping, Tamping.
Shaking can be done with a traditional shaker or our unique Portashaker.
Shaping is the most critical step. Our Portashaker comes with two unique Small Shapers. For a faster and more consistent shaping experience, we've created the Puck Shaper.
Tamping with a patented D-Flat base on a Happy Tamper is easy, comfy, and consistent.
I already have an end-game setup. Do I still need the Fusion Shot?
The Fusion Shot will make your setup even more capable by removing the one weakness, channeling.
Fusion Shot Quick Start Guide
1. Use 15g of fresh beans at any roast level. Grind coarser than usual.
2. Load ground coffee into basket and assemble the Portashaker tightly. Flip the portafilter over and shake for 5 or more seconds. After shaking, flip the portafilter upright.
3. Tap vertically against a countertop a few times. Rotate the Shaper ring clockwise a few times.
4. [Important] Three things can happen at this point:
a. The Shaper rolls the coffee into a nice, smooth dome,
b. The Shaper sits too high above the puck, leaving big craters across the dome, or
c. The Shaper digs too low into the puck, leaving two heaps of unshaped coffee.
5. Adjust the Shaper position if needed. Repeat Step 3 after adjustment. For 15g dose, start with 2 pieces of small magnets.
a. Insert small magnets into the hex hole of the Shaper, or
b. Remove them using the P-shaped Poker
6. After shaping, tamp with the Happy Tamper D-Flat base. Place the D-Flat puck screen on top and extract. For a standard ratio of 1:2, the ideal Fusion Shot time is around 30 to 35 seconds. Pro tip: Ramp up pressure quickly to 9-bar to maximize compaction effect for a tasty Fusion Shot.
7. Enjoy a cup of channel-free espresso like never before in the history of espresso.
8. After mastering the basic Fusion Shot, gradually increase dose and decrease ratio for even more delicious Fusion Shots.
