1984 Rancilio Z9 DE 2 group restoration

I am back to pour over and I have few questions.

Drinking a lovely Tanzanian peaberry. I cites that it would be considered medium. I think that I got lucky, with a setting of 4.5, 20g with 300 (1.5 cups) water, just off of boil. No spin or bloom, single fast pour (maybe 6 seconds) Took about 3 minutes to draw down. It is getting better as it cools while I

Fellow news and information!

Theoretical paper on 1st/2nd-crack detection
