    Hey Nikko. Given you've moved on to implementing "full internal insulation" (in a new thread) I assume your gusher debacle is... over?

      Hi Pal,

      Yes, all sorted - in the end I was only partially able to test the OPV pressure (as my DIY gauge was undermined by the incorrect sized fitting being sent from China! but it appeared to indicate the pressure was about correct) - hence I ended up establishing that the lion's share of the issue was user error - primarily not being aware of the potentially large variation in grind size needed between different batches/roasts of coffee. I was also possibly tamping too hard and not dosing correctly.

      I really appreciated the feedback and assistance of everyone in this thread and am happy to say that the issue is now sorted. Much thanks, Nick

        No shame in a bit of user error and, by the sounds of it, no need for more aspersions on your roasting character, so no big serve of humble pie to consume!
