Correct! Those drops are a negative, but it's more of a negative to saturate the puck slower according to the Decent guy. My grinder's steps and retention are so big I take what I can get for now.
The shot was nice, but my threshold till now for home espresso has just been whether I wince or not. The shots with this are all good. Maybe temp control made the biggest difference as my grind is off more often than not.
What's the best is trying different profiles and noticing the differences. It's like a coffee version of a posh box of chocolates.

Love the way it sounds like an old motorbike starting up. How was the shot? I would have assumed that the water in the bloom making it all the way through and into the shot would be undesirable, but I guess that’s necessary for the puck to be saturated/wet throughout.
