Your hypothesis that the flow of water from the three holes in the group head is not even is feasible. But I would be inclined to focus on whether the face of the filter basket (nicely exposed by the Naked PF is parallel to the ground. (You did mention that you could shift the pour back to the center by lifting the front of the machine.) Then remove the Screen on the group head and be sure it is completely clean. Screens do become blocked in places.
My next suspect is distribution within the basket. If you grind into the basket while it is mounted in the PF (typical of shop practices), Try removing the basket and filling it, stirring the grounds with a large needle such as those used in leather or sail makers shops, leveling it and finally tamping it before placing it in the PF. If the pull still comes out by the handle, then I would consider the blockage in the group head and a next target. In my experience, the majority of pour problems are the result of flawed technique, not machinery. KittJ From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Richard Sent: Sunday, August 23, 2020 10:41 AM To: Brewtus Subject: puzzle: I had to raise front edge of B II to get flow out of center of portafilter I am using a naked portafilter. I took a good look at the flow and noticed that the stream was not coming out of center of portafilter. I was coming from a point close to the handle. I noticed this recently and had no idea when the issue started. I raised the front edge of the Brewtus II by about 1" and now the stream is coming from the center. This sort of fixed the symptoms. But, what was causing the problem? Is it something inside the brew head? I had taken that apart about 6 months ago and replaced all the internal parts. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Brewtus" group.
