  • Anyone got any tips to improve here? Theres no obvious channeling or spray coming out the bottomless portafilter. Always starts very slow then speeds up a lot in the second half and has pinholes in the puck? This was 17.5g, distribution with a cocktail stick, 93 degree water.

  • A cocktail stick is quite fat and not ideal for distribution. Seek something thinner like a thin sewing needle or pin in a slice of cork. Ideally acupuncture needles but a pin is better than the tree trunk you are using now.
