Thought on this theoretical pressure profile?

Yes, that is a typical spring lever pressure profile. Variations on this theme have been my go-to on the Decent since day one. {image} Example: preinfuse at 6ml/s, raise pressure to 9 bar, then smooth decline to 6 bar over 35s

Espresso shot - coffee appears immediately - problem?

Hi Paul, and welcome to H-B. So you have espresso drops appearing right after you start the pump? Shot timing considerations aside, that does not seem right. In my experience, it takes several seconds to saturate the coffee puck (which holds about twice its weight in water) before the espresso flows...

Any Benefit to Slow Grind Speed

Inconsistent extractions on Breville Bambino Plus

Hi Vince, and welcome to H-B. Consistency is important in espresso. It's worth some time and effort finding out why your extractions are so variable. "Here" is a simple test that might help you diagnose the problem. Like the previous posters, let me encourage you to get a 0.1g scale. In addition, 18...

To plumb or not to plumb, THAT is the question!

This is clearly your decision but... is there a reason why you're choosing the Mini over the Micra?
