After a week I can confidently say that I now prefer my new shots and my wife agrees. I wasted a lot of coffee but it was worth it and it was all the same medium roast blend coffee (picture below) so it is now time to experiment with new beans and roasts. {image} Great

Not sure if that makes me feel better or worse - I ordered in November of last year... Hope you enjoy it though, a couple of months is long enough!

A dosing ring or funnel is probably the better option. Mounded grinds tamped as-is likely lead to uneven extraction. Leveling with a WDT needle tool or even some taps is a good practice. A good WDT tool can be bought for US$10 or so, such as the JKim/AppaMakes tool. Checking the headspace with a coin about 2 mm thik

Hey Brad, one of these days I promise I'll make it down for brisket tacos at Mia's with you and Smeek

Ratio6 is like most normal brewers basically only useful at brewing within a larger set batch size, venture off and it tend to negatively impact quality and drastically reduce extraction. Ratio6 isn't good for smaller brews why they launched the Ratio4 and all ratio is more what you see is what you get, it's rather dumb electronics, this speak to

I checked out your post and the YouTube video-it's impressive! Have you successfully decreased the flow? I'm not sure if this had any meaningful negative (or maybe positive) impact on taste but it doesn't look normal. It's amazing how Breville's double boiler, introduced a decade ago, continues to everyone including breville with its capabilities . Since

I like the inventive machines people are coming up with. Seems like a lot of innovation going on. I especially like the ones that don't try to mimic traditional pour over with a kettle and cone as if that method is universally the best and not derived from human constraints. I still remember the cup I had at the ground

That's not the way a pull works. It should take considerable force to pull the lever down

Unfortunately, I only stopped by the Mazzer booth to scope out the Philos. I'm not sure of the had the Kony Sg there or not. Sorry!
