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

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?

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

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.
No
I didnt tape all the holes 🤓
Will be no flow at all
It Will tell you the temperature of that blind basket full!!

What position is the flow control valve in from closed. How many ¼ turns open

One full turn and a quarter from closed

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.
Ah sorry, so they changed rhe programming
From memory it takes a few seconds holding the buttons after power on to enter settings mode, but on the older models.

I don’t have the machine, but doing some googling… there seems to be advanced settings option and the PID values can be set there.
Interesting read here…. Similar issues to the OP:
The Drive and Synchronika II are sister machines (same as the Pro-700 and Synchronika). One Profitec, the other ECM. Both the same company, just different brands.
MediumRoastSteam i don’t know if you checked that link , guy literally talks about my experience.
MuddyOne I did 😊.
Are you able to find you P, I, D values in the advanced settings?
