Whoa. What's your grind/tamp procedure? walk me through the steps.
Also, are you using a new bean, or did you roast differently?

I weigh out 15g of beans, and toss them in the hopper of my MD-50, grind out and dispense into the basket. Then I tap the filter on the counter to sorta re-distribute the grounds, then tamp as best I can to ~30lbs and then spin the tamper to "polish". then I run a "cooling shot" to force the head to boiler temp (Tends to run hot), then I mount the porta filter and pull the shots. I am getting ~25-35 seconds to 2oz, so I thought I was good, but for the past week, I have been getting that odd channeling. I have not run any sort of de-calcification as I did that about 4 weeks ago, but I might have to do it again, but I was not getting any of this channeling before the last time I did this. every drop of water I have put into this machine is through a britta pitcher, as my old house had a water softener and this new place the water smells a bit chlorinated. If you tell me to de-calcify again, I will do it, but just wanted an opinion. |

It's generally a distribution issue. Do the grounds clump out of your grinder? If they are clumped when you tamp, you'll get nasty channelling. A difference in humidity and temp from the move could require a different distribution technique.
I generally updose the PF so it's highly mounded. I perform a modified Stockfleths circular sweep, then sweep the mound off NSEW, tamp, pull shot. http://www.fivesenses.com.au/blog/20...r-distribution As far as water, buy some Fiji just to see how it changes the taste, and modify your water supply from there. |

The chop-chop method? Another way is to simply take a toothpick and stir the grounds in the pf. I would go crazy after 2 shots of doing that, and stab myself in the eye.

Weird. I'd say maybe pump pressure is too high, but you said the extraction time is ok.

What? I was being serious. I'm a complete novice in the coffee world who normally buys target and maxwell house brand coffee. So Folgers seemed to be a big step up for me and I was genuinely excited. Yeah it is a little sad I suppose. |
