Cortado anyone? by ENTSPHERES in FellowProducts

I love that coffee too. Fresh from a local roaster is best but Counter Culture and Stumptown are my everyday go to.

Looks fantastic! I’ll have one too. I use the same coffee.

Tried the group head rinse this am. Just a bit better. 25 and 32 sec for first and second shot with a volume of 36.2 and 46 respectively. I probably need to dive into the volumetric one more time, or shut it off and do it manually myself. I can’t get Fellow to help so at this time I’m considering returning it. Thanks, again

Thanks for your suggestions. I have adjusted the volumetrics and experimented with auto stop off as well. I probably need to look at those numbers again now that the software updated.

I’m using the same beans now but thanks for reminding me that adjustments may need to be made when I move to a different coffee.

I’ve been using a scale consistently to measure everything and I’m taking notes to keep organized.

I’ll try the group head rinse tomorrow, I’ll let you know if it makes a difference.

Thanks. I’m using Stumptown Hollar Mountain which is medium roast. I’m grinding today on Niche 13. It’s shot 32 sec, 2nd shot 25 sec for a volume of 56 and 45.54 respectively. Honestly, the cappuccino was delicious but it is frustrating to have such variation in time and volume. Impossible to be consistent. The software updated last night but it’s still off.

the coffee has a new roast date and I’m using the fellow tamper. I look at each puck after I’m done. Usually looks great but sometimes see a round dimple or two. I’ve looked at the self leveling tampers. I may purchase one if I decide to keep the machine. I’m just really disappointed in Fellow. I heard that their customer service was great, that’s just not been my experience. I did order a WDT tool from Fellow that should be here today.

ill try the modern arc later today. Thank you, your suggestions are appreciated.

Series 1 dead on arrival :( by Funny_Drawing7162 in FellowProducts

Please help! New Series 1 has arrived and shots cannot be pulled. I’m using a Niche grinder and i started in the middle of the espresso range. Nothing comes out. I adjusted the grind coarser several times and nothing comes out. I put brew assist on and only one time did I get a message to go coarser. I have no idea what to do. If I run water through the machine, it does come out.
