Re: Naked PF pour - when to stop? Please vote!
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.
