I've had some success today. I've filled the filter, and leveled it, then stirred it using a paperclip (very technical eh) and then tamped, making sure that it's level. This machine really needs to be level I feel. That is working consistently, a the pours are fantastic. I was using some 5 day old Pioneer coffee, but I even pulled 4-5 shots with Kelsey's Blend which is around 21 days old using the same method, and go a very similar pour. No more drips during prefusion, and it's much slower and much more controlled. 🙂 Had a big smile on my face today! I'm with sniff on the 60mls thing. I thought these big commercial groups would produce a 60ml shots no worries, ie so that I can split it for 2 drinks. Seems not, but an improvement over the lusso's 15ml shots that I could normally get. When I get some quiet time to myself (without kids demanding and the TV blaring) I will try and post up a video. Here's a successful shot, bit blond near the end, but nice crema.
