Yes, it is very weird. I wonder if I am unconsciously pressing unevenly with the 2 hands. When I get to 4 bars I get significant resistance, but the robot does not choke and I get a very unpretty flow with no sign of a properly centred cone. Yesterday, as a test to see if the grinder was acting

Thanks, exactly the kind of info I was looking for. Oh well, my Third Wave should be here soon and we can just keep this alkaline stuff around for drinking

Hi I checked again, and the blue wire to VDR1 reads zero volts (only the brown to VDR1 has the 115V readings, or brown to all the other wires that I previously posted on). As helpful as all the suggestions are, I think this troubleshooting is beyond my capabilities/knowledge. We tried finding a local PCB repair service

I meant that the goal is ramping up to 6 bars, but I cannot go beyond 4 bars without using lots of force

Something it has confused me a bit is that I aim for a 2 bar'ish preinfusion , but I see the drippings at 12 bar'ish. I admit that I have got so used to using a scale and a timer that I felt "unprotected" using the robot without it. I can not fit my scale on the tray

that is an interesting test to try: choking the robot without preinfusion first. Then using preinfusion, less pressure and same grinder settings. thanks

Got the new Forte and my first attempt at FP with 30g/500 g at 203 resulted in a fairly smooth cup, uncertain about the taste at this point being the first cup. I was following a 4 min initial, followed by 5 mins. However, I noticed that after the initial 4 mins, all the grounds had fallen leaving

Yup, cover roll pin {image} Edit: Thinking more about it, the plastic hinge joint could be cracked from an overly large pin or robust handling

Not a considerate zero point adjustment system for people who want to change burrs to a different thickness
