    In the first instance... Try different beans..
    well for the past week and a half Ive been using CS Espresso Wow and the results have been awesome. Very happy.
    At least I know what the problem was.

    Time to start doing something about a home roasting setup to become a proper CS

      Only thing about KKs video that I noted was the time the portafilter was sitting in the group before lifting the lever.  Thats probably the longest you want to leave it - maybe Im just being paranoid though :P

      Dont know who that videowatcher120 on youtube comments is trying to fool  :

        Care to provide further details / comments ???

        I would never load a packed group and then spend considerable time away...

        But 2 or 3 or 4 seconds is not that excessive...

        I must admit that prior to having a 4 sec preinfusion, I would lock and then place the cups and then hit the button... So 3 or even 5 sec plus was more them norm and if I had to search for a cup.. A bit longer...

        PS. My group head is not extra hot and I do not need a cooling flush; if your thinking that the Group is going to BURN the coffee in the 3 or 4 sec of no water contact...


        With teh pre infusion and the time for the honey to start to drip - no longer a problem... Lock and select GO!

        Not uncommon to, NOT have cups available for 6 or even 8 sec and some times... Just like an urine sample... I have been known to miss the beginning of a run ;D

          Well as long as the coffee isnt going to be burnt from the longer contact thats really what I was saying. I just generally tend to prefer getting the shot started sooner to reduce the contact with the group.

          It looks like it wasnt a problem in the video since it would have been visible but Im a little too wary of it I think :P

            Its a bit of a no-brainer with E-61 fitted machines or others with a genuine pre-infusion delay.

            Lock the Group Handle in, hit the switch/operate the lever (or whatever you do to get the brew started), then place the cup(s) under the spout(s). Im not very quick at the draw these days but Ive never had a shot start dribbling yet before the cups are in position.....
