As i can't reach you guys over the phone, i would like to order the following beans here:

????(Sulawesi Grade 1)(200?)
?? Confused

???? Brazil Fazenda Santa Inês Bourbon (200?)
???????? ...

i have got 2 more bags of the same italian blend and done 8 more tests to confirm if i am consistent on my outcome. As Neo suggested, avoiding dead spot, that is now i am focusing on.

17.5g | coars ...

Hi Neo, going to buy beans tomorrow, and do those test this sat. (if you are asking me)

Thanks Icarus!

I cannot confirm how fresh the bag of beans is, that's why i am thinking to buy 400g freshly roasted beans from Landy to do test again.

I'll upload videos after that.

THANKS AG ...

i really think the rubber for sure will be harden after certain usage and time. I think Landy is selling them - grouphead gasket 50 only.

I think your explanation make sense, i saw shing marked the machine for the angle of how far the portfilter needs to locked on to.. normally i think if i can lock it perpendicular to the machine base ...

thanks Neo, i will shoot a video with coarser grind on 18g then, i will then shoot another 3 videos on finer, fine (shing's marked), coarser on 18.5g. I remembered shing said silvia is 18-9g normally.

Hi neo, that's just my guessing, maybe it's only a week. I had tried some really old beans today and I can see not much crema when brewing, so I don't think those beans are that bad from the amount of ...

Dreammeow, I have no idea how fresh the beans are either. But I think it's around 1 to 2 month. But did I do things correctly?

i am also basing on the concept from what dreameow said... i think i should go finer....
