  • Nah, no option for pre-infusion with the shades PID. Seen some talk about adding a dimmer switch on the supply to the pump, but it seems a faff/dodgy.

    I’ve always wondered, would hitting the brew switch for 3 seconds or so to get some water in, waiting for 10 seconds, then starting the shot properly work as a pre-infusion?

  • Could always try with your next coffee.. though change one variable at a time so you know which one is making the difference.

    This was my point in not using the WDT (or other automated prep tools). Go back to basics, get the basics right, then start introducing your prep aids. If you don’t understand how or why your prep is lacking, how the hell are you going to know if some random tool you saw in a YouTube Short is going to make a difference?
