slightly acidic and the coffee itself feels thin rather than syrupy/viscous and the crema has dissipated by the time i get to the bottom of the cup, still drinkable and i have had a lot worse but i miss the golden crema with it's citrus taste that's not dark with bigger bubbles. thing is theres' masses of crema at first that takes an age to settle.
i finished the shot this morning from the monmouth beans as it was the best one so far out of the grinder, dose level in the basket, firm tamp and a good 6mm gap from top 3-4 seconds before flow starts then about 18sec all in (i could up the dose slightly from here TBH).
i think i'll descale/backflush and see how it is after that.
