I don’t every time, but occasionally will check grinder retention, I’m not losing much every dose. The machine came with two portafilters so I may bring the spare to work and see if they can cut the bottom off to make a budget bottomless portafilter so I can see if I’m getting any channeling.
I’m consistently 4-5 seconds before first drop, and time out 36g liquid between 25-30 total seconds. I’m not 100% if it’s 1:2 ratio after 25-30 sec or if it’s 1:2 after 25-30 second from first drop. I’ve been going off total time rather from first drop.
