DavecUK that also helps, thanks. Maybe I was just poised with the molykote and wanted to lube more than I expected to! Thanks for the advice. Whilst I’ve got you, can I ask a quick question about the dosing funnel I bought? It leaves a 1-2mm ‘edge’ around the portafilter post distribution and I’m wondering whether this is frowned upon because it causes an uneven surface and might contribute towards channeling. I’m considering buying a dosing funnel without any lippage inside the basket, but wanted to ask someone in the know before considering my options. Thanks in advance.
