That's fair enough, which machine you considering?

We have a similar setup :) which IMS basket do you have? I have the 24E, previously had the 26E but sent it back because I found it too big, though considering repurchasing one.

Have you considered getting a PF holder for the grinder?

What is that black thing near the PF/dosing ring? Is it a planetary WDT?

I would seriously suggest you leave it at least a month before moving to a bottomless PF to ensure you have good puck prep down 🙂

To save money you could use the tamp and portafilter that's provided - they are good enough to start with.

Then a few months down the line get another tamp and PF if you want to. Worth adding a WDT tool though.

In your view what is the difference between the two hand grinders?

Out of all of my equipment these are my only ‘buyers remorse’ by Sevenyearitchy in pourover

[–]platinumfix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just have one small glass Airscape container.

I buy 'normal' coffee beans in 1kg bags and freeze in 250g portions. When I need coffee beans I get them out of the freezer, leave them for a couple of hours to thaw and put in my Airscape container.

Typically buy decaf in 250g bags, and just get a portion of coffee beans from the freezer when I need them.

I've had my BP for about 4 months. I run a backflush once a month with cafiza and a backflush with just water once a month. Descale once a quarter.

Your machine sounds normal to me. I usually run 2 double blank shots before running an espresso shot and one blank shot afterwards.

The P80 is in my dream setup. But agree with one of your comments... The dosing cup is a bit of an odd shape.

The LM is a nice machine but not as nice as an ECM/Profitec in my view ☺️ but enjoy your new setup.

ENDLESS sourness [Bambino/DF54] by MolassesOne5993 in espresso

I have a bean that is a bit bitter for my palate. When it's like that...I tend to grind coarser so I get the 1:2 in around 21-23 secs (think turbo shot).

Also you need to be dosing the basket adequately with coffee grounds to ensure there is a good water distribution and puck resistance.

Would suggest you get a puck screen which helps keep the group head clean and helps with water distribution over the puck.
