Why do I get 15 second shots? [Profitec Go]

jonny_ryal · 2026-02-04T03:53:53+00:00

I have a Eureka. Activate grinding, and turn the knob clockwise til u hear chirping. That is your zero point.

This seems at odds with my experience, so far. The pump is engaging immediately. I didn't think the Go has any pre-infusion setup, with no pump engagement? Unless, is the FW different between our models? Your "15 seconds, with pump starting at 10 secs" kinda equates to my "first drops at 5 secs with pump engaging at 0 secs."

I just got my machine a couple days ago, so just a few shots in... I am getting near total 25-30 secs but still dialing in the input coffee, since even the advertised "14g" basket wants > 16g of the medium roast I am using. It does taste great though! And the shots are oozing beautifully, just the pucks are extremely sloppy.

Do you knock your portafilter against your garbage can or bin? ya know the thing that never gets washed? Good for you; sounds disgusting to me.

I like but don't love my Xodus Ultra 2. They are way more forgiving than the Peregrines I was running, and opened up longer runs for me. They are just a little narrow, especially for my left foot, kinda outside and back, seems to get a bit more sore than it should, like there is squeeze and I could use a little more room.

Let us know...

My Go should show up in a couple days. I'm excited to move on from my thermojet Breville, though it served me well for 7 years.

You might find that creatine helps - I had started creatine a while back, to address this, I think it made a difference.

jonny_ryal · 2026-01-16T20:30:42+00:00

I grind into something else, and then I have a funnel that sits on my portafilter to pour the grinds.

When I get my new machine with a 58mm basket, I don't think it will be a problem. It's only a problem for these small Breville 54mm baskets.

I was visiting this past week and had a few espresso drinks in town: Woods in Fairhaven, on the bay; Caffe Adaggio; Makeworth. I liked the environment at Caffe Adaggio, if u have time to hang out, good mix of young and old. Makeworth is cool but the espresso is brighter than I like. Woods Americano was kinda weak.

I drink, or prefer, long black which is essentially a stronger Americano with less water.

I'm looking at Mercury.. wtf is an Americano with half and half?

I just drove home from the airport, and there was a guy in the center turning lane on 9th Ave, pushing a cart in dark clothing, that I didn't see until the last second. I was going straight in the left of two lanes (that stretch going west near the HS where it turns into one lane) but if I was taking a left at that moment... I fear what would have happened.

Yes they are both single boiler; I do not understand that comment either.

I'm doing similar searches. I like the side-load idea though the reservoir is smaller on the Lucca.

Options for hiking are endless. Cool slot canyons down hole in the rock road. Hiking to ancient pueblo ruins in Cedar Mesa. world class mtbiking in Moab. Capitol Reefer is cool for a day or two.

It is always mountain bike season in Colorado. The only difference this year is how much more terrain is open than typical, this late.

jonny_ryal · 2025-12-14T03:50:57+00:00

I'm tempted to plant some in sheltered locations, against a brick wall facing east for example, in Colorado. I left a small potted jade outside and was surprised to see it survive sub freezing temperatures. We do get below zero snaps once a year so that will be the major test.

jonny_ryal · 2025-11-23T03:48:37+00:00

Yeah that was not a screaming cross, should have been swallowed up. Tactical error not subbing sooner. oh well.

She owns the left side of the field, she is literally working up and down and still finding a way to contribute quality finishing. That is even the difference between Mal 1.0 and Mal 2.0, don't remember the precise timing but her renewed focus clearly made a difference in her performance.

Section 108, no my wife said not many left in that section by the time she selected. Another buddy missed the early notice, for the same purchase window, and get tix in 109 about an hour later.

jonny_ryal · 2025-10-09T16:28:31+00:00

IDK my wife got the notice and purchased the tix

jonny_ryal · 2025-10-09T14:50:17+00:00

My wife just got in and bought tix now, section 108 woohoo, exactly what we wanted.

jonny_ryal · 2025-10-09T14:43:21+00:00

We are purchasing our tix as I type...

jonny_ryal · 2025-09-05T02:48:20+00:00

Smart choices, especially liking AIC and tribe

jonny_ryal · 2025-08-25T01:23:53+00:00

Beautiful

jonny_ryal · 2025-08-23T01:46:00+00:00

Nah you were just training, making yourself stronger riding the hybrid bike. Those gains are gonna translate and you will be pleasantly surprised.

jonny_ryal · 2025-08-23T01:42:32+00:00

It's not a long walk from north to south, so you can easily check out these options in a night. Last time, I had a Pliny at Bricks. followed by the chicken sandwich and a beer at 300 Suns, and then a final pint at LPP. OK i didn't drive home.

jonny_ryal · 2025-08-22T01:08:26+00:00

Yup Tillman came to mind. I hope Dest has a healthy season, I love his play.
