My new B4R arrived today and it only took me 10 minutes to turn it on; set the PID to 201. I have been waiting a week in California so I was prepared for its arrival. Started with the single shot La Marzocco filter basket and a naked La Marzocco PF. I had already modified my Rocky for step-less grinding. I got out my Counter Culture Apollo roasted on 2/28, loaded the 7 gm measure and ground where I thought would be perfect. The first short ran through so fast I could not get the timer off quick enough. Tried several lower grind setting with variable times per shot. THEN I noticed that the Rocky was not behaving its self, the grind setting got coarser during the grinding. The burrs were not staying in position. I fixed that problem and got off another shot. This time 30ml@22 sec. sweet fruit. I used my old machine so long I nearly forgot what espresso was suppose to taste like. regards, Joel
