Profitec Pro 500 cooling flush stabilization

Profitec Pro 500 cooling flush stabilization

I dont purge the shoot, thats probably where it lies. I was using redbird. I freeze it when i get it and pull out a hopper at a time. So this coffee is 3 days post thaw and was originally frozen within 6 days of roast. As for your pics orbit, the top is what i
