Hi again, folks, I am trying to disassemble the mushroom on my ECM. I have taken the mushroom out of the E61 group and I am trying to take the mushroom itself apart, to check screen inside. It would not come apart. I am gripping the mushroom stem and I am going counterclockwise...

I am at a loss. I am getting sour undrinkable shots. I have not changed anything that I can identify. I am using the usual beans I purchase from a local Italian market and 18 grams of coffee in a VST 20-gram filter. I pull 1.5 oz in 26-28 seconds. I am also getting wet pucks...

Fresh Roast SR800, 1750 watts 15 amp. Hoping 12awg/3 25 footer and hopefully copper would be ok. I'm aware an extension cord is not recommended. 25 > 10'. 10 gauge less options and more expensive but I'll do what I gotta, any input ?
