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. Espresso always tastes a bit harsh, like its over and under extracted

I'm bummed that you're still not getting the results you want - I'd echo what was said about looking coarse. Where are you grinding on the Niche?

(appreciate they aren't perfectly repeatable across calibrations).

5-7 on the niche. Anything coarser just pisses through. Its ok, im determined to get good coffee out of it, its just a learning process :)

Next steps are proper wdt tool, puck screen and maybe a new shower screen if this one is buggered
