I've got the V2, but in MY case a dry puck equals channeling. A "perfect" extraction on mine almost always leaves a pool of water on the puck...
May you be cursed with enthusiasm for products manufactured in "developed" countries.

About 16g dosage. Each shot glass had about 19g output.
Red Bird Espresso, 6 day old roast.

Thoughts? Recommended adjustments?


I suggest you try lower dose, like about 14.5g and adjust the grind by taste, or tighten it to get a 25s flow and further seek by taste adjusting either the dose or grind as required (you can use Jim's guideline then).

I rarely use doses higher then 15.5g in double basket on my Vivaldi.
