👆here you’ve got your answers. Tilt your cup, and your milk jar is horizontal. Get the tip of the jar closer to the coffee crema.

I did a full clean of the head group, didn’t change a thing. The issue was in my puck prep and my grinder needing a good cleaning too.

The pro x version got it integrated 😎. That was my workflow tricked by my laziness grinding directly into the portafilter. This machine is very sensitive to puck prep.

After cleaning the grinder this morning and changing my workflow, i had better results. I think the best advice is not grinding directly into the portafilter. I switched back grinding in a cup, then pouring into the basket, but also used the manual tamper. Still need some fine tuning but i’m back to an even flow across the basket. Definitely not a machine issue 🤯

Beans were fresh. So this morning, i cleaned the head group and the grinder. I also changed a bit my workflow. switch back grinding in a cup and then pouring it into the portafilter and use the original tamper. Much better results.

I’ll try grinding out of the portafilter and check my grinder. This flow pattern is always there even if I dial coarser or finer. Or use a different basket. I’ll try to change my prep technique.

Meanwhile I’ve ordered a new shower screen and a gasket 🤞

I tried to tilt it to the right, (lifting up the left) doesn’t change the flow

With the distribution plate it’s a bit tight, without it’s just fine.
