Glad to hear it. You still may try lowering to 9. Why do you think the gauge is wrong? One thing I have experienced is that I have a hard time stopping channeling if I'm above 9 bar on the grind, 9.5 or so on the blind PF. So if you're getting holes/spraying at 10, and feel your dosing and distribution is good, you're probably still a bit high on pressure. b On Apr 10, 2011, at 11:45 AM, [email protected] wrote:
