The only ways that I know to destroy a pump is to run it dry or to run it with no pressure release. Do you have the rotary or vibe? As long as the opv is open then there will always be a path to let out extra pressure, so water will pass and no lines will blow. (That was my stupidity, when I installed my rotary I left the opv closed on accident and blew out a teflon hose.)
Just go by taste, but I definitely think that a lower time, under 30sec, would give you a more pleasant cup. 16g is perfect in my opinion, but.some prefer a lot more. - -Barrett On Feb 16, 1:56 am, arcangel6 <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > I just adjusted the grinder for a slightly less fine setting and > turned out an equally impressive cup and maybe a little smoother > flavor. > > New: > Beans = 16gm > Two 30 lb tamps with an Espro tamper > Temp = 202F > Volume measured be weight = 2 ounces > Time = 35 seconds* > *Measured from the time I lift the lever, first drops around the 5 > second mark. > > The original was > > Beans = 16gm > Two 30 lb tamps with an Espro tamper > Temp = 202F > Volume measured be weight = 2 ounces > Time = 60 seconds* > *Measured from the time I lift the lever, first drops around the 8 > second mark. > > Joe --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Brewtus" group.
