Extracamundo! Temperature adjustments?

Extractamundo Dos was developed using "high extraction" burrs. While it does a good job with more traditional burrs, the the stock DF-series burrs, Niche Zero, or things like Mazzer or 64 HUs, you'll likely have to target a longer ratio. With high-flow shots, going too fine changes the flow dynamic and the resulting shot in ways different than traditional shots

Wega Mini Nova Rebuild

Thank you very much. I really appreciate the exact help you provided. I am clear that I can use the machine without the dispersion plate/screw.
