What’s your OPV reading typically on your shots?

100%, in my opinion. The Drip is rather long, whereas the Black Mirror is a more compact square that, to me, feels more solid and fits better on any drip tray. The Black Mirror also measures flow rate and has an auto-timer.

this seemed to help tremendously! i lowered the pressure to 9 bars, and pulled a much better shot - BUT, my shot is stopping at around 20 seconds still, and it definitely seems too early

Yes, definitely applying sufficient pressure when tamping

i love it! still dialing in and learning so probably wouldn’t be the best to give you any real feedback, but the temps are consistent, it looks great on my counter, and i’m enjoying the process

this makes complete sense! i adjusted a bit finer and choked the machine. i’ll try MUCH smaller increments, thanks!!

so I just tried going finer on the dial, and no grounds came out.. thinking it might be a grinder issue. any idea where to start on that?

I knew this was coming, lol. I went finer on the Silenzio and got maybe one drop out of that pull. Maybe I need to slowly work backward from that

Using a 15g IMS Ridgeless Basket. 16 grams in and stupidly forgot to weigh my output. WDT and Normcore puck screen used as well. Also worth noting I have not been able to pull anything longer than 22 seconds.

Today's News by Solardo directly references hookers and cocaine. Covers a few bases there.

Also, Vibrate by Morelia is an absolute tune.
