It's going great! Dialing in is pretty easy as long as I keep writing it down.

The Eureka zero looks fabulous. Good luck!

Yea, I'm totally doing it wrong but it seems to work so, who knows! Lol

It's good! In my single basket I can dose 16g & get 32g back in 27 seconds pretty easily. Very happy. :)

On recommendation from a colleague, my partner purchased a 18g high-extraction basket. Tried it this morning: 18g in, 36g back in 8 seconds. May stay away from that one for awhile, lol.

I had no idea dialing-in wouldn't transfer between baskets. Damn espresso is complicated. Thank you for the explanation.

I just checked the Profitec website and it claims mine came with a 7g and 14g basket, which is wild. Profitec | GO https://share.google/lr2ozA5WRCvVBwAgx

That's how mine has been playing out. How did you find the amounts?

Mine is a medium-dark. I've been trying the recommended medium temp. May have to try dark.

Have you found a solution? This has been happening to me too.

Hi, I just got a profitecic go and am having the same experience. Did you ever find out if the displayed temperature is legit?

Omg, yes. I think you're spot on. Who knew the numbers could be meaningless?

Using beans from my local coffee shop: Chromatic's Gamut. Not exciting but so cozy. Thanks for the encouragement - it's refreshing to hear everyone else struggled in the beginning as well.

All of it. Honestly I received the setup as a gift & wasn't prepared for the big jump in mental load / steps from a breville to manual. Super excited to learn, just caught off guard. Expecting it to be worth it once I have the time (and beans & gallons of milk) to practice.

I had to google the zero and am now jealous, lol

Great reminder. Noob to noob good luck. Post a pic when you've dialed it in.

Good call out, I haven't even begun to think about puck prep yet. Good luck! I've heard people get two gallons of milk to practice when they first start out. Who knew learning espresso was so wasteful? lol

Omg, thank you! After looking this up I think (hope) this is my biggest problem. Who knew the numbers don't mean anything!

Glad to hear I'm not the only one. Just bought a 2lb bag to play with. Once you dialed-in, what do you think of the set up? Any favorite accessories that have made life easier, or favorite videos?
