Threads were pretty clean when it came out, not sure why it was so reluctant to part company.

Anyhoo.
- pressure 10bar at the portafilter
- 18g beans
- 4 sec until flow / 20 sec extraction
- Sette 270 on 15e grind (recommendation is 9e?!)
If I put the Sette on the recommended setting I can't get a flow at all unless I drop the dose to < 12g. To the point where I can't tamp. Seems a bit odd.

ignore the recommended setting and look at the fineness of the grind, you want it so it's just about starting to clump. Based on your times I'd go a small amount finer.

Yeah going to fine tune over the next couple of days. Just burned through a whole load of beans getting to something remotely acceptable so calling it a day for today.
