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

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

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

        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?

            MuddyOne

            Have to screen zoom and quality is 5 h 1 t but possibly me being daft!!

              its easier on pc, on mobile you have to hit the dots to enlarge, pressure reduces as the puck degrades so normal,

              That’s the YouTube video if that helps viewing

                That advice you gave earlier about taping porta filter, a blank basket is going to work just as fine?

                I should be able to borrow accurate device with wires from my work on Monday to measure temperature.

                  MuddyOne

                  No

                  I didnt tape all the holes 🤓

                  Will be no flow at all

                  It Will tell you the temperature of that blind basket full!!

                    And can you confirm the knob is fitted correctly. I.e. confirm you have no flow when fully closed.

                      Yeah, I even did a test with scale how much water runs through,according to some German video on YouTube it should deliver around 210ml in 20s with full and quarter turn,mine does that. It also slows flow every quarter turn,confirmed with scale.

                      Looks like im not the only one,too bad OP quickly abandoned topic.

                      Adrianmsmith I tried to get into PID settings but the power off and two buttons is not working ,nothing is working. Left button only does not do anything, and the right one only factory settings.
