Hi All,
Firstly thank you everyone who's contributed to make this site such a great resource.
I've spent a lot of time reading on here the past few weeks as I've researched and bought my first machine and all the bits to go with it.
2KG of coffee later I'm starting to pull some nice shots, but I seem to still struggle with what I think is channeling in the puck, see photo below:

Equipment:
Expobar Minore IV (vib pump), Pesado shower screen, Pesado double portafilter, VST 20g ridged basket
Eureka Atom
Pesado tamper
LW Blind Shaker
Beans: five senses dark horse (roasted 31-Oct)
D: 20g, Y: 40g, T: 25-28s
5 second pre-infusion (pre-wet? I think because the vib pump doesn't reach line pressure..)
Temp: 94 degrees C
Pressure: 9 bar
Taste: strong... not unpleasant but a little boring compared to the sweetness I've tasted from this bean in my local cafe.
I was just reading about the coin test so I'll try that tomorrow, anything else I should try to fix the puck?
Cheers,
David
