Barista Skills for the home enthusiastCouldn't get any cheap beans anyways, just started with this. After a couple of radical adjustments I got something well within drinkable, I didn't time it but from the look at the "streams" coming out it looked quite close to how it should and produced quite a tasty espresso, zero bitterness...

Barista Skills for the home enthusiastWith 18g on my scales its still the same, but they aren't 0.1g scales, so I'm unsure on how accurate. After dialing down (work in progress) I'm getting closer to a steady flow relatively quickly. I'm also tamping lighter, which from what I gather should help this process.

Barista Skills for the home enthusiastCould it be possible right now that the machine is being choked completely its just that the coffee eventually fractures due to the pressure & lack of place to go.

Barista Skills for the home enthusiastOh no I see your point completely, I did adjust the grind finer after, so I imagine I was around 4 seconds off which when I wasn't attempting to time isn't THAT bad. I didn't realize until today how important the time before it started pouring was so important.

Barista Skills for the home enthusiastI actually counted, it was much larger than I thought. Tried doing it with the pressurized basket, the machine was just completely choked, so I'm guessing the grind is far to fine atm.

Barista Skills for the home enthusiastDon't think I'll be able to do a video but I'll take photos, see if that helps. Didn't imagine I'd need this much troubleshooting to get it right, I figured it'd be like when I was using the pressurized basket but better! EDIT Photos: Freshly Ground Leveled and attempted declumping...

Barista Skills for the home enthusiastJust got preground stuff from hasbean and jamesgourmet. I was using the pressurized basket but I also picked up a VST basket with the grinder because I heard they make a massive difference. (and learning curve apparently.)

Barista Skills for the home enthusiastAfter just receiving my Iberital MC2 I've been trying to get a shot out of my Gaggia Classic, the problem is that it takes a good 5 seconds for the espresso to start pouring, but when it does it comes out incredibly fast and pale. Not quite sure how to describe it but heres a photo of the...
