MediumRoastSteam I hear you and understand everything you said , but one thing- that setting off set is there to be adjusted by customers, it can be set by us from -10 to +10 and it’s not a hidden setting available only to manufacturers, it must be so for some reason?

    You could jot down and publish all your settings to see if any are obviously wrong.

    They will be close to but not identical to these for the synchronika i would imagine. See bottom. I do not have the exact settings for the go.

    To enter the advanced PID settings mode on the PID :

    Turn your machine off

    Hold down BOTH the left and right button on the PID at the same time

    While both PID buttons are pressed down, turn the machine on and wait for “F.01” to appear

    From here, you are in advanced PID settings mode. You can change your machine to function in Celsius or Fahrenheit, switch between 15 and 20 amp power modes (on applicable machines), change boiler temperature offset, and adjust boiler temperature.

    To change a setting, press the left button on the PID until the setting you wish to change is showing. Press the right button on the PID to view that setting’s current value, and while the current value is shown press the right and left buttons to adjust it up and down. To exit advanced PID settings mode and save your settings, simply turn the machine off and back on again.

    Its not recommend, changing of the P, I, D, or b settings on any of the machines. Changing those 4 settings will change the way the machines reheat and maintain temperature.

    The settings that we recommend changing if you are looking for something a little different are:

    The setting for which temperature scale you would like to use, commonly shown in the PID settings as F.01. - C (celsius), and F (Fahrenheit)

    The setting to change your machine for running in 15 amp or 20 amp mode (on applicable machines). This setting is commonly shown as F.02

    The setting to change the temperature of the coffee boiler, commonly shown in the PID settings as T1.

    The setting to change the temperature of the steam boiler, commonly shown in the PID settings as T2.

    NOTE: We do not recommend changing P, I, D or b settings. These change the algorithms for reheating and maintaining boiler temperature.

    Synchronika for reference

    About Me

      Adrianmsmith thanks , but like I said I’m not digging any further . I don’t know what I’m doing, I’m not 100% sure if these settings should be same as synchronika, “ close enough” is just not good enough for the money I paid for this machine. Not to mention that digging into these settings, if my trial and error is wrong by any chance and then they find out on their end I’ve been there they can point this out to me. Absolutely no reason to do that considering machine is under warranty. I’ll let them handle this until I’m satisfied.

        Was just suggesting jotting down your current settings not changing any. Theres no flag set for" last time advanced menu was accessed!!"

        1 you would know if its for some reason garbage settings

        2 when it comes back you can see what is then set, if its been changed.

        About Me

        No idea I’ve never had to play with the offset on any machine I’ve owned.

        Was just a suggestion seen as you were getting flash boiling.

        Have you fitted a new board or is it still stock

        I presume you can just do a factory reset,

          Cuprajake Have you fitted a new board or is it still stock

          He fitted a new board recently - which might be the culprit.

          Oh I thought the new board was after my suggestion?

            Cuprajake Oh I thought the new board was after my suggestion?

            He had a new board fitted a few weeks ago according to what I read. It might’ve been the board was misconfigured. We got our wires crossed, sorry.

              MediumRoastSteam I pulled a shot with new beans, 25s

              They were roasted n 30.12 crema tells they are really fresh. I vacuum sealed in three bags rest of the bag, I need better way to transfer them from one bag to another.

              But the shot was pulled at 92 degrees, tomorrow morning I will pull another, same grind setting but 94 degrees. What do you think?

                MuddyOne - Maybe it’s my perception, but it feels, to me, the shot speeds up significantly halfway through. Maybe it’s not the beans, maybe it’s something else. The fact that you struggle to go past 30s feels strange to me. I really don’t know. Maybe someone with a machine similar to yours could post their video (E61, rotary pump).

                  Is there a way to do the vids private on YouTube they are really small on my phone

                  Can I ask dose, grind size, basket and what the gauge on the group says

                    MuddyOne What do you think?

                    Think you need a lever machine 🤓😋🤔🫣

                    Cuprajake top left corner of video you can change size,

                    Profitec stock basket, 18g, 7 on niche duo, gauge goes nearly to 10 and then drops a little bit.

                    How did it taste don’t bother with looks. Even time

                      Cuprajake not enough sweetness , bitter and bit earthy but not unpleasant . I noticed that the gauge needle on group head always drops and never stays in place while brewing, if that means anything.

                      Daft question but how are you posting these videos in this format.

                      Its already been stated that youtube hosting is betterer!! …… And id tend to agree!! 🤓

                        Adrianmsmith streamable lets you upload quickly video, I didn’t realise someone had issue here, I know Jake mentioned that the videos look small but I thought that he missed full size button on video?

                        Look this is a screenshot, played from video straight from comment I posted above it’s full size and good quality , you guys view these videos in smaller format?
