ACS Vesuvius Evo Leva owner experience
Taking the last photo first, that looks like a hexagonal (so it won't rotate) rivnut that was put into the steel with too much force on a misadjusted air tool. I have used the air tool to fit them before and you have to be careful with a different adjustment for thickness of metal and size of rivnut. The Evo

Shot inconsistencies with SSP Cast LS
I had the pleasure of fixing the aforementioned DF64 that was aligned at chirp, but not at all aligned elsewhere. The process to evaluate the adjustment collar was to remove the upper carrier and the bolt that holds the lower carrier. I then mounted a test indicator stud in place of the bolt (i have a few M8

Underdeveloped coffee
It's very hard to see the details of your graph. You can export the final roast profile as a .png file and upload it directly here for better clarity. The first caveat to all of this: how you determine the start of first crack will dramatically affect what the appropriate development is. The first stray pop of a bean
