    Maybe one notch finer would lengthen the pour tom about 30 seconds for the 60ml.
    Thats a bit hard with a stepless grinder!
    But yes, I agree that Id be aiming to slow the shot timing down to the "golden rule" for starters and then adjust to get 6-7 happening in the 25-30sec region.

    One thing to note with naked PFs is that the volume is a bit less than with a spouted PF since less CO2 is lost from the shot so a slightly larger shot is needed to get the same extraction with a naked PF. This is the main reason that a naked shot tastes different to a normal shot - the smaller liquid volume means it is tending towards ristretto. The other reason is that the visibility (and resulting mess if channelling develops) means that naked shots tend to be better executed (tamp/distribution) than normal shots.

      7 - just prior to blonding...fantastic pics!

      I bought myself a naked today from DiBartoli and just tried it out...loved seeing the coffee come through those pinholes like vegemite through a vitawheat, then slowly coming together to form a central stream...what wonderful theatre!
      Booking a front row seat at Dennis home theatre next Saturday night. Hope the extraction carries an AO or PG rating.

      On another note, yes, mine eyes have been opened.  Or, Microsoft opened something for I now join the legions whove seen the mighty fine pictures ahead of me.

      I think saying stop at number X is too simplistic. The time and volume also have to be considered. For instance, if  picture number X is only 10 seconds into the pour, there is something fundamentally wrong  and other adjustments may have to be made, such as temperature or dose.

      If on the other hand,  blonding is happening close to the desired 60 ml/30 seconds mark, then all is right with the variables.
