What's the roast level?
I hope you didn't accidentally pick up filter roast beans to use as espresso
Nah I think it's medium roast, I got it from bean shipper, espresso roast subcription.

I know what you mean...lol...
Nah...they can steam whole day without affecting brew temp much...
Do you have a thermometer, and did you try it out in KL?
You're not really a newbie per se... lol... just new to HX so now on the steep end of this new learning curve...
Did you flush and immediately pull the shot? This E61 may need a rebound time after flushing...people play with flushing & rebound to vary brew temperature...
So your first order of business is to establish... heat up time / flush time / wait time, before 1st brew, then flush / wait time for subsequent brews...
U mean flush the steamer or the group head?
I do on the steamer, and almost immediately start brewing. As for the group head, nope, I dont run it prior to brewing.
