Turin/MiiCoffee DF54 Burr Binding Problem?
Huh I'll chalk it up to a gap in my knowledge but since I'm not the only one with the 'issue' I'm guessing MiiCoffee/Turin are going to get more people who also don't know this! Thanks!

Breville Dual Boiler gurgling, Brand New machines x 2
Drain the boilers from the front screws completely. Then turn on to let warmup and refill steam and brew boiler, let it sit at temp a bit before using. Might be air in system or wasn't correctly filled somehow

Turin/MiiCoffee DF54 Burr Binding Problem?
Always run the motor when adjusting finer. It's common practice even with much more powerful commercial grinders. It's also what Joe Kolb from Espresso Outlet recommends doing for every Turin grinder

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

Checking Bezzera Strega P/I and Brew Pressure with Portafilter Pressure Gauge
Just my experience, but I had the dimmer mod and removed it as I found it unpredictable when actually pulling a shot. I ended up with three settings with the dimmer - max on, min on, and somewhere in between - but even then I could not get a repeatable pre-infusion pressure (again, when actually pulling shots - I did

Pasquini Livia 90 high brew pressure and valve leaking
I've completed the Hank Bates Pasquini conversion! I'm sicker than a dog so not going to waste any shots since I can't taste anything. What steam pressure do you keep your Pasquini running at? I'm going to start with 1 to 1.2 bar and adjust from there based on taste, once I have some. I've made

Latte Art Diagnosis
Indirectly, yes.

As Emilee explains in her video, there are other ways to create a forward stream that also

Shot inconsistencies with SSP Cast LS
I did not have great success with the cast V2 burrs. I experienced frequent stalls and the manufacturer of my grinder (Acaia) recommended against using them for espresso. I am currently using the cast V3 and they seem much better suited to espresso. I'm still fairly close to the touch point after switching to a Weber Unifilter

You might want to compare this profile to those captured using the smart espresso profiler from other spring lever espresso groups
