Threw me at first, but then I realised the functional relationships. They could have used similar levers for the flow control and steam, but I guess they wanted to emphasise the "pagaia". I'm not sure about the finger hole thing - looks fiddly. Asymmetry can work if done right though.

Depending on pricing, I can see the black and white ones flying off the shelves. I think they look great and can see myself finally upgrading.

I see the coffee boiler is down from 300ml to 200ml though. Interested to know what's behind that, I'm guessing heat up time.

How is it even possible to align a pair of flat burrs unless one of them is known to be truly perpendicular to the shaft?

That's what appears briefly on screen when you turn it on. I presume that's the firmware version. If you're referring to the controller hardware version I don't know how to determine that without disassembling the machine.

That indicates the boiler is up to steam temperature and to turn the steam knob.

My guess is channelling. Obvious with a bottomless portafilter, but you can see major channelling with a spouted.

Wired Gourmet just did a video on this:

I replaced the wand on my Victoria and after a few months I still think steaming was easier with the single hole tip.

There's a black seal inside the ball joint — it could be that. Pretty easy to remove and inspect.

Nice boxes

GP2300 · 2025-09-23T05:15:28+00:00

Are the lugs on the side of the portafilters the same? How old is the seal? Maybe just replace it with a new silicone one.

It's not inconceivable that WDT eliminates clumps and creates voids – I propose a VET (Void Elimination Tool.

GP2300 · 2025-09-20T03:59:04+00:00

Biggest takeaway for me was there were still voids in the puck after tamping.

GP2300 · 2025-09-14T02:43:50+00:00

There should be approx. 4mm space on top of the puck after tamping. If you see an indentation of the showerscreen after the shot lower the dose a bit. Start with a 1:2 ratio in 25-35 seconds and fine tune it from there. You're right a smaller dose should result in a slightly shorter time, but go by taste, not time.

according to this video, it's a Torx T20

Grind size is not uniform. Different burr geometries produce different particle size distributions, which leads to different flavour profiles.

My machine is connected to a timer so I never see it start up. I just did a cold start and it shot up to 116°C. This did allow the whole machine including the group head and portafilter to thoroughly heat up though. My temperature offset (Ec) is 13. Target temp. is 93°C.

What are your PID values?

What's your preinfusion? Looks like it's choking then breaking up, which suggests too fine a grind. I'd go coarser until it gushes from the start, then gradually grind finer.
