Actually not funny at all. iroko was not the only one. Clearly some of us don't like looking at a bright screen for any length of time -
If you underdose to stop channelling you'll find times to achieve the same target yield ratio are much the same with a shot that doesn't channel with a lower dose compared one that does channel with a higher dose. i.e: 18g in 18g VST: Multiple streams, dead spots, spritzing. Rapidly increasing flow rate. 36g in 30ish seconds. 15g in 18g VST: One stream, no/massively reduced dead spots, no spritzing. Steadily and slowly increasing flow rate. 36g in 30ish seconds. If you get the same yield a few seconds quicker without channelling it's a step forward (assuming it tastes better). You shouldn't have to adjust the grind too much to hit the same time if you have to change it at all assuming you drop the dose to solve a huge channelling problem....but why would you even be aiming for a time when the previous shots have been bad? You just dial in when you find the dose that fits in the basket without pressing into the shower screen. Turns out the OP's problem was caused by not stirring in the cup and/or not distributing properly in the portafilter anyway. -
Really wish I hadn't seen this just as I've had to fork out for a new car. GLWS -

Three of my favourite shows ever, Justified, Banshee and Peeky blinders all 10 out of 10 for me -
+1 all the way If you stick to one brand, there may be other accessories than batteries/chargers to share across different tools. Like guide rails. I have a blue router and circular hand saw that both go well with my guide. Which is a very handy thing btw, especially if space to stow away or put up a bench saw is an issue! One thing to keep in mind regarding cords: agility. In a usual workshop you'll have plenty of power plugs everywhere. Even these power cubes dangling from the ceiling and all that jazz. At home you might have to use an extension cable of suitable length* which creates quite some hassle if you need to move around your workpiece a lot. This is especially true for routers. The downside of cordless tools, on the other hand, is their price. Because I cannot copy the effect of dying batteries in blue Bosch stuff (Li-Ion and above) I'd highly recommend their 18V battery powered equipment. Always have one battery pack more than tools so you are fully charged when running low on one. My background? Building a wooden house plus interior with that blue stuff, none of which had ever let me down. If I could've had afforded it, maybe I would've gone with Festool. But they really charge silly money. *Never use powerful equipment with a cable drum that has not been fully unrolled! Unless you feel like burning down the house that is. At my local fire dept. we did a test not too long ago: a 500W work light plugged into a cable drum was enough to nicely broil 50m of rolled up cord after 15 minutes.
