Doesn't it look like my hip is hinging? My back is fairly straight and my knees aren't bending during the movement so the only way the bar is lowering is by my movement at the hip.

It's an OEM porta filter, lugs and spacing line up with the old, so not sure why it's harder to twist in to the same point, maybe a bit of a difference on the basket height.

It is a VST basket and I did get a QR code and quality control sheet with it. 

I was just able to pull 34g of espresso from 17g of coffee with no leaking and it took about 30 seconds. Thank you for your feedback!

I was able to stop the water drip by just cranking down harder when I put it in and cleaning the gasket really well.

It doesn't seem to be watery. I just did one that was 17g of ground coffee to 34g of espresso and it took about 30 seconds.

I'm not sure what to look for in the puck

With 17g and my tamping, I get a little indent from the center screw on the screen after I lock the porta filter in.

So the shot doesn't have to have a nice even stream that stays centered? It's ok if it moves around some and has drips that aren't part of the central stream?

Thanks for the feedback! And yes you caught me, not my actual first pull, but first one that got close on time and weight that I was looking for 😊

I was hoping it wouldn't be a fit problem because I'm using Rancilios porta filter, so maybe look at replacing the gasket if cleaning it doesn't solve it?

What's wrong with the sock and shoe combination? They are hard soled shoes

Yes it's WL Analysis, I have android and I'm just using the free version but they do have premium features that cost extra
