I assume that’s because my grind is not fine enough as I feel as though the tamp is solid enough as is.
Yep, need to go a few clicks finer by the sounds of things (need is a strong word, no point in hitting your desired metrics if it means the coffee tastes worse!). In my experience tamping too hard can increase the amount of channelling making your problem worse rather than better.

Black mirror’s turned up today, 2 day delivery from Sigma coffee.
So now I am weighing proper doses and am realising that I am way off the documented 18g in 36 out in 24-30 secs.
It’s more like 18g in 60g out in 24-30 secs.
