hedonist222 I imagine you are single dosing the Ceado, not running with any sort of hopper?
To get a feel for what might be going on…
- Run a straight 9 bar shot (normal flow rate) and adjust the grind for that, see if you can get that going OK
- Do you have to grind finer for your flow controlled shot compared to the 9 bar shot
- VST baskets need a finer grind… if the 9 bar shot goes well, change to a standard basket and try a flow control shot…is it better
Do those things for now…they are more diagnostics than anything else.
