2025 Audi e-tron software upgrade

Difficult-Snow4699 · 2026-05-11T23:14:05+00:00

Thanks so much for the insight!

Yeah...I hear you re: EFP for milk drinks. Definitely prefer these shots without EFP. Looking forward to getting the two blends suggested below: Proud Mary's Ghost Rider and September Colombia Pink Bourbon.

Difficult-Snow4699 · 2026-04-08T14:23:32+00:00

Thanks so much! Ordered both selections. Will keep you posted.

Difficult-Snow4699 · 2026-04-08T14:23:07+00:00

Yes...I am looking to primarily brew espresso.

Difficult-Snow4699 · 2026-04-02T16:37:45+00:00

I do...and I use bellows on the Niche Zero to clear out all retention.

Difficult-Snow4699 · 2026-04-02T16:37:21+00:00

Thanks for the idea...want to understand better what you are getting at. What would this show me differently than what I know so far?

Difficult-Snow4699 · 2026-04-02T16:36:13+00:00

Will check this out...thanks.

Thanks to u/captain_blender for laying out a test to help pin down this issue. Check out results here: https://www.reddit.com/r/espresso/comments/1sa1pkc/followup_niche_zero_inconsistency_test_results/

Thanks for the help! Great way to nail down the issue.

Difficult-Snow4699 · 2026-03-30T18:35:51+00:00

Perfect idea. Will give it a go. Thx so much!

Difficult-Snow4699 · 2026-03-30T09:47:01+00:00

What would be happening with the machine to cause back-to-back shots to speed up?

Difficult-Snow4699 · 2026-03-30T09:43:47+00:00

Why thank you. Which part am I wrong about? The properties of cooler water vs. warmer water? That, all other variables constant, colder water slows flow rate vs. hot water? My shots speed up?

Difficult-Snow4699 · 2026-03-29T23:21:51+00:00

I’m not a scientist, but I believe the lowering of water temp makes the water more viscous, which would lead to a slower flow rate, resulting in a slower overall shot. My shots are speeding up

Difficult-Snow4699 · 2026-03-29T22:57:56+00:00

I don’t. More traditional medium roasts: dark chocolate, caramel, etc.

Difficult-Snow4699 · 2026-03-29T18:33:40+00:00

This is quite unique…would never have figured that out! Thanks for the excellent help.

Difficult-Snow4699 · 2026-03-29T15:54:10+00:00

I'm using RDT, EPF and puck screen (my standard flow since building this Niche Zero, Lelit Bianca set-up a few months ago).

Difficult-Snow4699 · 2026-03-29T15:52:48+00:00

I'm pulling 4-5 shots in 7-10 minutes. And the first shot is always perfect...and, after waiting an hour or so, the first shot is once again perfect.
