    Well...
    How about "within loosely acceptable limits spot" then

    But still not what you should be aiming for during a pour.
    OT... You naughty person you..

    Who told you that my PSA test was high and causing flow and direction problems..

      SS is a bit above 11.00 on mine...

      GS closer to 11.45 based upon a (fairly) heavy tamped, fine (but not too fine) grind and a double shot single floor basket.

      I have found the need to adjust the grind depending on the beans however (hence Ive now got a little notepad sitting next to the grinder until I work my way through all the beans I want to try and settle on my preferred blends)

        I use the double unpressurised basket. I aim for the 1300 for the GS spot & give or take an hour for a great shot. I find the 1300 best for my machine,

        The calibration shot (my version) with the pressurised basket for my machine was at 1400.

          This is prob a dumb question ;D But is when you say 1300 or 11.00 etc are you meaning notchs on the guage? If so mines running a around the 8th (in between the light and med tan colours) with both dual and single floor baskets, but it soemtimes wont seal a leaks like a bitch!

          GS is further up the guage around the middle of the dark brown.

            As the gauges are all diferent... The numbers we refer to... Should be refrenced to a clock face... ie. 12:00 is dead top centre. Trust that helps.

              usually it is about 1300 for the most part... after many changes and the training classes i have managed to get some good shots out there... love it!

                How come there is no 1500 on the poll?

                  > 1400

                  Besides if ya have to red line it all the time and or ya Sweet spot is at 1500... Then the gauge is way out of wack or your pushing the system to its limits...

                    Just tested my 6910, the sweet spot using a double dual floor basket was dead on 11:30.

                    a Good shot i would say 10:00 to 11:30
