The Salters are utterly useless under a portafilter because they will flood if you look at them - hence the silver £20 eBay/Amazon...

Received this, frankly unjustifiable mod today - in terms of both cost and air miles - but so far (2 espressos!) I'm liking it.

Thanks for the recommendation on test kit. I'm getting:
"Cooking" Water (salt filter):
pH 9.0
KH 180-240
GH 0
Drinking Water...

The filter you're using might just be a carbon filter "taste and odour reduction".
You can use this to test the water...

All the bars in Italy I have seen, tend to run their machines off salt softeners, so you can, but I wouldn't drink the hot water from...

Hi Team,
This is a recurring topic and I've tried to interpret the threads but I need someone to talk to me as if I were a Labrador or...

All of the ratios are pretty much the same, you need more significant changes there.
To relate to the examples: The very first shot on...

You can't measure temperature like that. A better idea would be to measure the flow of the coffee coming out of reasonably tuned puck...

Sorry as a short aside , and only having skirted the last post .
1:2 ish doesn't seem to be giving you much joy by the looks of it ...
-
Thanks. I am reasonably confident on the PID temps now having tested that I am getting a puff of steam up at 100 degrees.
I just...

OK - I'm back - and 1.5kg of beans lighter. Still need your help team 😕
Two images here. The big one is my journey of discovery with...

I struggled (and still sometimes do) getting an espresso that blows me away out of my setup (Bianca + Niche). I went through the same...
-
Thanks. I'm getting those steam puffs at 100 so I think the PID is on-point and eliminated from my enquiries ;)
-
Try going hotter - it may be that you need to adjust the offset more on your machine.
If go are at 100 and you let the machine heat up...

My expectation for a 1:3 shot is balanced, reflective of the notes, but more concentrated than a 1:4/5 shot, less concentrated than a...

Thanks for the fill height tip - I'll try that 2moro (bit late for coffee experiments now 😳)
I can't be far off 1kg of beans having...

Thanks - turns out there is a typo on my spreadsheet/screenshot 🙄. Sadly (because I thought you had found the silver bullet) the Psb is...

What's your expectation/guideline for a 1:3 shot?
"...flip-flop..." I started very methodically, bringing brew-time gradually down...

Thanks Rob.
When I said I'd eliminated water, I meant that I'd tried the softened mains that runs through the softener (salt blocks)...

OK, I'm back but sadly no further forward. Beans still need a bit of de-gas time but longer ratios have not helped.
One theory I had...

Thanks. I will certainly do that but, frankly, it's moot right now because I am stuck at a 2.
One thing I have not mentioned is that...

Damn! You pulled the rug from under me before I even got to try it (once the day is past a certain time I have to suspend testing else...

Ah - you cunning fox - good idea - that might help prove/disprove my hunch about the end-of-shot crema....🦊
CrazySnakeUncle commented on the thread SingleDoseBrew mod for Specialita - so far so good.yes, in the sense that there's a cap for the funnel (2nd photo) but there is no weight on the beans
