It's interesting,
Here in Quebec (Canada) People drink a lot (when I say a lot I mean a
great majority of the espresso drinkers) of that over-extracted
product we call allongé (witch litterally means elongated) When you
order it at the bar, you ask for half the cup or three quarters of the
cup
Thanks again shaun.
Texas is still on my wish list. Seen the big apple and new jersey a couple
of times, so I get the impression ;-)
Just wanted to set one thing straight though...
It's not me who likes this 5oz cup, it's an alternative developed
for people who don't like americano's. Back
Shaun, that story is pretty dang sad. I don't know how any self-respecting
barista would ever save a shot, whether in a fridge or even on top of the
cup warmer or anything. It's a fine window of time when it's good,
nevermind pouring it into a cold cup (and thus disturbing it further,
although I
I completely agree.

My screw looks like it's metal, and is located on the front of the machine,
lower right corner, once you've removed the drip tray. Sound right? I do
tamp to 30lbs. I'll use the blind PF to set the pressure, thanks for that
info!

Also be aware that the pressure gauge on the Brewtus II can be wrong. I went to
considerable effort and expense to more or less establish (to the degree that
the large pressure gauge that I bought is accurate. It was sold with the
statement that it has an accuracy of 1%) that the pressure gauge
This was one of my worries, was that the pressure gauge wasn't accurate, and
then as per Todd's note that what the gauge reads isn't necessarily what the
actual pressure is. That is pretty poor in my opinion - why bother putting
a gauge on there if it's going to be wrong. But, alas, that's what
Just confirmed, with a blind PF in, it holds steady at 11.5 bar on my gauge.

Search this group with the terms: Calibrating Brew Pressure
This should help clarify the difference between the pressure shown on
the Brewtus guage versus the pressure in the portafilter. 11.5 on the
Brewtus guage may be a bit high but not way out of line.

Ok, read that thread. I guess what's strange to me is that, the gauge is
almost pointless. I suppose it's useful to know if something has gone
really wrong, but otherwise you can't really use it to adjust or to fine
tune your pressure. It's just a little misleading to me I guess.
