Yep not entirely unusual itsy. Weve even had some Synesso baskets with this problem, and certainly we noticed it a bit on the La Marzocco baskets when we had those. Youre right in that provided there arent too many it doesnt noticeably affect the shot. A Synesso has about 500 holes in the basket (no I didnt count them all! :
), so if you have a dozen that are blocked youve lost 1.6% of em, which isnt going to affect things much. I reckon if you lost upwards of 15% it might start to behave in a slightly pressurised manner, but the figures were talking theres nothing in it.Greg
