I can’t seem to get rid of unpleasant harshness and dryness

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?

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

MMuddyOne · 2 Jan

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.

MediumRoastSteam this shot took nearly 30s I don’t know if it’s me but does it start too slow?

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?
