Santa just bought me a bottomless pf for the M27.
Bit of an ordinary fit, even after fitting much tighter than normal there is still a bit of leak out of the back edge..... I hear its a common problem. The weight is also much much less than usual ( I guess partly because theres no bottom on it..).
With a doser grinder it also requires a bit more effort to get the grounds distributed centrally, as theres no spout to assist with lining it up correctly.
Anyway, its been interesting to note the difference between dosing, tamp and distribution, and the effect with the bottomless pf. I notice theres also a lot more crema (shorter lasting), than with the standard pf.
Heres a vid I found (not mine) that I thought might be a good example to aim for. Not quite there yet.. Ill post mine when I manage to get it looking better.
