I've done a bit of a search but couldn't find anything related to my problem...
I'm a bit out of practice, have not made a coffee in months. I'm on the machine this morning, and i seem to keep getting shots that start weak and watery, before thickening up to look like they should.
Literally the first 5 seconds of the shot comes out with a transparent, thin, brown liquid (like you might get at about the 50 second mark of a shot, if you extracted that long) and then it increases in viscosity, darkens up and comes out with a crema. It maintains a good shot through the rest of the extraction, it's just this first few seconds...
Any ideas?
