Hi,
I have tried to play on one factor at a time, and have now (grind size, dose, ratio) which are close to OK.

Ratio 1:2, which I am aiming at;
Dose: 17G (filter indicates 14G-18G)
Grind: quite fine on my machine (#3/10 on a Lelit PL72)
Taste: quite OK, although some whitish...

I've got a Profitec Pro 600 with FC (called the Pro 666, or Pro Mode depending on where you live). It's been great and I'm getting better at dialling in shots.

I'm having a weird issue with wet pucks. The same grind / dose / basket combo I used on my Rancilio Silvia leaves wet...

I have a Bezzera Giulia with E61 and water tank. When I am pulling shots the water discharge at the water tray is too little and slow. The puck is wet if I pull out the portafilter immediately and sometimes pressure is released through the gasket seal (creating a mess). When I...

I got a new ECM Classika machine a week ago, it is my first E61 machine and has been fun so far to use. One thing I have noticed is that the puck is wet, even has a little water on the surface when I remove the portafilter. Additionally, when I do remove if and the vacuum is...

Hello All

I have just bought a Sage Duo Temp Pro. I seem to have two issues that may be technique related.

1 the machine seems to drip quite a bit after extraction. On the initial flushing out with no coffee, I notice that after I switched off the water it still dripped, maybe...

Wet puck at 18 grams and at 20 grams... Bought it used and it works fantastic.... Backflushed it when I got it going..

Does it need backflushing or solenoid? How can you tell?

Thanks

So over the last few days, I've noticed that the pucks on my Profitec 600 are staying wet and are sticking to the shower screen when I remove the portafilter. Could the solenoid have broken? Is the solenoid connected to the steam wand at all?

Hey All,

Just installed a piston pressure kit on my new Cremina.

Everything seems to working propertly...gauge is showing pressure, no leaks, coffee extraction generally looks/tastes good...BUT...

I have noticed ever since installing the kit I am getting a very wet, soupy...

I'm still adapting to my new Achille, but one semi intermittent annoyance I've been having is some water on the puck unless I wait a good while for all the tripping to cease. If I'm doing back to back Americanos and taking the PF off fairly quickly after a shot, I don't get a...

I am very much a newbie

Is this considered a wet puck?

I have the Breville Barista Express, just trying it out to see if it suits my needs. Was also considering the Duel Broiler.

Both machines are supposed to have, I forget what it is called, the feature that purges water...
