Hi. Just purchased a new Barista Pro. I am trying to programme a shot by volume (30ml) but it doesn't save. Manual says machine beeps when your programme has been saved, but does not. I am wanting to pull a shot that is 30ml. Am I doing something wrong?

I'm playing with some manual grinders and I just realized that by adjusting grind level and being meticulous about puck prep one can achieve the target brewing pressure without relying on the OPV. In my case my machine is set to not go beyond 9 bar, and I could get the target...
Ok, this post might be a little meandering, and I am not sure exactly where I am going with it. Perhaps validation, or maybe just a discussion around what is going on.
