Profitec Pro 500 cooling flush stabilization

With it in, around 74 ambient. And yes, I have been trying different coffees and whatnot, still experimenting and have been getting some good results here and there, just trying to repeat it.

Profitec Pro 500 cooling flush stabilization

You idle at 204F after 55 minutes at 1.1 bar? Dang, I idle higher than that at a lower bar (207.5-208 at 0.9-1.0bar) Are you saying you flush until 211 on the drop, wait about 18 seconds, and then pull your shot? What temp do you read when you start getting drops out; Is that 201f? Or

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
