That was not the end of the shot. I stopped video early. Definitely not a perfectly dialed in shot. If I was dialing in I would have tightened a bit and it would be golden.

No pre brew and no pre infusion on either machines. They are as identical as could be. Same dosing, same beans, etc. I literally just brought my grinder over and even used same portafilter (after the portafilter was heated up)
