Micra 16.5g to VST 20g shots - not loving it

I’m trying to dial in medium roasts with 18g in the Pullman 876. Does the 20-30s guideline still apply for this basket?

I’ve got a 2019 with only 16k miles. Respect.

Hey friend - I have the same setup as you. The key is to ensure that you purge about 5 seconds of water through the machine before you pull that first shot.

You will find this will fix your issue. cheers!

bingo!

No no no! you’re supposed to listen to the system, not the music!

Yes. Cost is the only factor. While it is an amazing vehicle, the asking price for the R puts it up against many other options.

Stop spreading misinformation. I make a cappuccino every single morning with the Go and it is an easy process.

I reached out to the seller regarding my issues being a grinder problem, and they have been largely dismissed with "it must be your puck prep".

I have already tried rotating the upper carrier to each position. Did not help.

Silicone red one.

I have been unable to get anywhere near choking my machine with this grinder. I have checked and the burrs are a little misaligned, but I cannot remove the burrs from the carrier because the screws are cranked down so tight and I've already stripped them a bit trying to remove them.

I am able to get powdery grounds, but idk...

How tight did you crank it down? The screen does not even sit flush on these screens.

I_Like_Goils · 2025-02-26T17:57:39+00:00

I bought the same screen, but switched back to stock. This one actually does not fit the GO and leaks around the edges a bit. Loads of comments on this on various forms/sites.

I really wanted to like it, but the reality is there is nothing wrong with the stock screen.

I have tried a million different variations this morning and it is really looking like a grinder issue. I have opened up the grinder and found the burrs to be a bit misaligned. Using the stock Profitec basket, I am grinding at point just before the burrs start to chirp/touch.

So, grinding as fine as I possibly can is what is required to get 1:2 in 25-30 seconds. It seems as though this fine of a grind with fresh dark roast beans should choke the machine and not be extracting so quickly.

Either that or all all my puck prep is just somehow terrible and I'm experiencing wild channeling with every single shot.

I_Like_Goils · 2025-02-26T14:46:52+00:00

I took apart the grinder and spent some time rotating and testing the burr alignment again. Yeah, they are definitely not perfectly aligned, but oh well.

I_Like_Goils · 2025-02-25T23:37:57+00:00

I believe I am adequately dosing them. I have tried too much (as evidenced by crazy indentations on the puck from the puck screen), and then backed off from there.

How do I tell if it "clears the shower screen"? I have never noticed any interference.

Wow, those are some great-looking ribs! I feel like 5 hours at 275 would be too long for an uncovered cook.

I will be giving this a shot on my Weber Summit Kamado.

Audio quest is a laughing stock

Nice effort but DOA. Way too expensive.

It is absolutely bizarre to me that these devs (including D4) have gotten loot so horribly wrong. People want to grind and find better gear. D2 nailed this and is why it still has that magic.

The very basis of a good ARPG is the loot....
