HI
i’m running 20gms beans same grind same exact tamping prep each time , 30 sec pour set on machine . aiming for 70gm [2 fl oz ]
no mater how carefull i am 30 sec run will produce from 30?/53 to 80 + gms and sometimes its correct
but maybe doesn’t matter as flavour is ‘ok’ with the right grind
its a brand new oscar 2
?????
The problem is usually the prep method/grinder, not the machine…welcome to the forum.
snoosebomb 30 sec pour set on machine
So the machine activates then cuts off after 30 seconds? Can you forget that approach and use an on/off button and a timer? When you activate the shot, the first thing that happens is that water is forced onto and into the puck. It takes a number of seconds for the puck to become saturated and when it reaches this point the shot will begin to flow. We call this the pre-infusion stage. When you start the shot, count how many seconds it is until you get a few drips in your cup, then start the 30 second count and weighing of course, report back
dave , i’m using an expensive grinder , carefully , an internet search shows others with the same problem , an apparently variable pressure output. how ever i am getting some reasonable cups inspite. the main thing is not to grind too fine as it gets bitter and tasteless. also i notice some baristas are happy with a 50 gm pour i’ll try that
dfk , ok i’ll try that , on/off through saturation then 30 sec run
