I've got some along with Frequency and Celebration on the way and when looking up brewing recommendations from actual home brewers for the Analog, it seems to vary from year to year when the source changes or the blend changes. Example: I found a thread from early 2013 where everybody was saying the source changed and now it works best pulling very short espressos (ristretto), around 100% extraction ratios. Intelly's current recommendation is about 60%.

Anybody pull espresso using Analog the past several months willing to offer their opinion?
