Well I wasted about $20 worth of coffee thinking that it was a technique problem before I realized that there was no brew pressure.I also double checked the behavior of the BPG (an accepted acronym?). When I turned the machine on again, it crept up to about 2 or 3. Then I tested with a backflush -- it went up to 10, I released the pressure, it fell to 0, and now its back up to 8.5, and it seems to be idling there.
