Pulling a good shot with my new coffee machine.
The Systemic Kid replied to Sharpe's topic in Coffee Lounge
Sam - forget about crema. Loads of crema is not the bee all and end all of judging a shot. There are quite a few factors that relate to crema - one of which is age of the beans. Are you relying solely on the leveller before pulling the shot? If so, might be a good idea to use a tamper, lightly, after levelling. You might also consider stirring the grinds to ensure good distribution of fines across the puck before levelling. A toothpick of darning needle will suffice. Also, to help avoid channelling, once you've stirred the grinds, give the portafilter a sharp tap on your work surface. D -
Jake - is your inbox full?

Apologies Jake - will return to 'for sale'.

As @DavecUK says @OldFruity was first to offer asking price so he is the buyer. Thread moved to sold.

That didn't take long - @ckrhodes bagged a great bargain. Thread moved to closed.

It can be like descending into the rabbit hole. Take your time - ask yourself what do you really need and ask questions on the forum.

Many of us will attest to that😀 Welcome to the forum.

Agree with Northern_Monkey. In a side by side comparison using a Niche and EKs on two different types of Londinium, Niche held up extremely well which is fulsome praise when you look at the price differential.

Welcome to the forum - great first post. Good buy with the Classic paired with the Mignon will do you proud.

No - quite true.

You have to see one in the flesh up close. Pneumatic suspension years ahead of its time.

Unless you're experiencing noticeably cooler shots which also don't taste good, best leave it be IMO.
