I thought your pour was pretty good actually. Generally, if you are dosing lower and the grind if not right, the pour will increase in volume/flow rate as the shot progresses, but your shot was reasonably consistent over the entire period - which means you have the grind and dose pretty well sorted. depending upon the flow restrictor installed in your machine and the beans you were using (age and roast profile), you may want to tighten it up just a fraction (I would not adjust grind, just updose a fraction) - but of course it's only a theory and it's what you taste is the only thing that matters.
Thanks Jeff, ill give the up dosing a go. I'm unsure of the age or roast profile, bought them from a reputable sponsor, but they don't have a roast date, so I'm guessing fresh, but not sure exactly how fresh! Ill tighten the pour up a bit tomorrow and see how the taste changes, cheers. Ive actually just put an order through for a kilo of your "redemption of the spro" to put through, looking forward to trying it immensely 🙂
