Still learning and greatful you guys are here to bounce things off.
Playing with my kyocera hand mill I went 3 clicks finer. using a 19 gm load and an unpressurised basket it took 100 sec for a 60 ml shot.
It took perhaps 30 seconds for the first drop. then 100 seconds for the double to be produced.
I watched and was surprised to see the amount of oil on top of the shot. Not much crema and smelt /tasted overcooked.
I had expected that the OPV valve might have been triggered but dont think it was.
I am assuming that the chrome tube at the back left above the spill tray is the return for the OPV, is this correct.
At any rate I will dial the grinder back 2 notched coarser and see how I go.
BTW I have been using a cordless drill attached to the grinder at low speed to save on hand winds . works a treat.
