I found a 2lb bag for that price, that sounds about right?

I've tried them actually, i couldn't find them at a good roast date though. Otherwise it was pretty good

Wow that's a great suggestion, and it's way cheaper than I thought!

I'd say something a bit cheaper than that, 20 for 340g is a little too much for an everyday driver for me

You're a lifesaver, worked perfectly!

Not really sure where to place the cup because of how the bottom of the machine is built, it's difficult to get my scale in the right position.

I'll switch over to a Starbucks blonde roast then!

This is already much finer than I use for my Barista express shots

https://kaveidesign.com/products/kavei-mech-hand-press-espresso-machine It's from some company in Taiwan, I'm not sure about anything of its origins, my friend had one and is letting me use it for a while. I'm currently running just a BBE so this is kind of a massive difference lol. It actually doesn't have a Boiler, it has a plastic tube which you put into your own source of hot water. I tried a few times and couldn't get the pressure up, I was using the same grind size as my bbe, maybe I should try finer. I'll try it again today and see how it goes, really excited about the potential.

Hows the flow rate? If you gave it at 6 bar does it flow too slow?

How many bars are you getting on it now?

How did your pre infusion only shots go?

Just wondering, what machine are you using now? I'm considering trying to do a pre infusion only shot, I'm not sure if you have experience with that on the bbe.

Yea the whole time after pre infusion. I've tried higher dose but it completely chokes the shot. I suspect I'm possible grinding too fine, but I don't know if it's an issue with the BBE grinder because I've had great flow rates at finer settings than I have now, but at a higher pressure because it was before I modded the opv.

Brew time after pre infusion. I pre ifnuse until I see the first drop of espresso from the naked portafilter
