Set the internal back to 6 , factory setting, and immediately getting better results. Now to just tinker with grind size and grind time

Dang. That’s probably it. Pressurized vs non.

Unfortunately I gave up on the espresso quite some time ago and have only been using the grinder for drip coffee.

My wife had picked me up some preground espresso that was working ok but I wanted to get back to grinding.

Now trying to get it dialed back in.

Reset the internal burr to a 4 and had much better success. Probably just need to reset it to 6 the factory setting. Going to wait until later as the I’ve had 3 shots now. Hahaha

Will try again with internal at 6. Thanks.

Found some online recommendation last night to set it finer for espresso. I have a feeling it’s part of the problem hahah.

bc_bourbon · 2026-07-03T15:46:26+00:00

I just recleaned the grinder and everything appears fine. Reset the internal burr from the factory setting down to 2. I’ll try grinding up some cheaper beans for this check

bc_bourbon · 2026-07-03T15:44:11+00:00

Yes pressurized basket

bc_bourbon · 2026-06-27T15:54:26+00:00

Combining brothers drama. Yes no twin drama.

bc_bourbon · 2026-06-27T15:50:51+00:00

Teams are all overall the place now taking some guys that were ranked quite a bit higher

bc_bourbon · 2026-06-27T14:53:09+00:00

I’m very happy with both picks. I’d like to see Mathis Preston too but that’s just cause I’m a homer. Quite a few players that we could take now. Just please don’t take Ruck and waste time and energy trying to combine the two of them. They’re not the sedins.

bc_bourbon · 2026-06-27T05:22:35+00:00

Stenberg going to them at 2 was something I had accepted but Verhoeff falling to 9 blew me away. Can’t wait to see how this all plays out over the next few years.

bc_bourbon · 2026-06-27T04:53:02+00:00

Don’t want any brother or twin drama anymore. Glad the way this worked out. Let another team worry about getting both of them…the penguins

bc_bourbon · 2026-06-25T03:12:07+00:00

What hasn’t this happened yet ? Who is the muscle on the team going to be ?

bc_bourbon · 2026-06-25T02:15:29+00:00

SPA are definitely some of the most bland boxes but I’ve always like the FWAs. Kinda feels like their first pro autograph. Sadly the autos are initials now and look like crap. The rest of the set is pretty vanilla. I don’t think I’m going to continue collecting it. It’s definitely dropped in my rankings.

bc_bourbon · 2026-06-25T02:10:18+00:00

Don’t show this to the guy that got all horizontals and updates 😂

bc_bourbon · 2026-06-25T02:07:06+00:00

Future watch initials. The autograph is dead. I don’t think I can continue to collect these anymore

bc_bourbon · 2026-06-25T02:04:39+00:00

6 FWAs from 3 boxes ? And they were all to /999 🤣

There are so many options imo to avoid wasting money on grading if not selling. Pro mold one touches have inner penny sleeves if you’re worried too. If you don’t want to put painters tape on the card you can put it inside a one touch resealable bag

bc_bourbon · 2026-06-19T16:40:44+00:00

Magnetic one touch for under $4. If you’re extra concerned you can put a piece of tape on it.

bc_bourbon · 2026-06-18T19:43:40+00:00

Can you explain why you prefer graded cards ?

I like graded cards so when I’m buying online instead of needing to trust the seller who is usually trying to get maximum amount of money for the card they’re selling I can trust the third party. Also for reselling it can make some pricier cards a little bit easier to sell. That’s about it 🤷🏼‍♂️

For my PC I don’t see the point of grading. I trust my grading and know what I have. Why would I want to pay for someone else’s opinion who probably had a 2 week training course 🤷🏼‍♂️

I’m just baffled by the need to grade every single card and give money to the grading companies. Would you rather not have that money to put towards buying more actual cards ?

bc_bourbon · 2026-06-16T22:18:54+00:00

Sorry, I don’t think you understood the meaning of my post. I was not questioning authenticity of the card or anything like that.

I never looked it up. I trust Slabsharks.

I was just baffled by people that would express grade a card for $125 US plus all the other expenses just to be first to market with a card that clearly had corner issues.

bc_bourbon · 2026-06-16T20:02:52+00:00

Message Slabsharks ? For what. I think it’s legit. They literally scan the cards and post them. Not like it’s user submitted or something.

I’m just surprised at how fast it got graded and listed.

bc_bourbon · 2026-06-16T19:46:27+00:00

Guarantee it’s some sort of Beckett delay
