A bit of lever action

You need a Maui/Kona layered shot when you use that tune.

If you are portafiltersoffury, who will John be?  Do we need a naming contest for John when he starts tubing in response with his lever?

The main reason I would recommend the 2 group right now is redundancy.

I think that feature is much more important to your situation than mine for 2 reasons.

1) Because you are more espresso focused than I am. I will be pulling shots on it every day like you but will not be "out" at all if I need to go to another prep or a few days to replace a seal. For you I can see real benefit to rolling over to the second group and not missing a beat.

2) I am not dropping my pump machine. Even if I loose a seal and for some reason don't want to accept a different prep I can just flip the switch on my tin foil espresso express.  

I'm not ruling it out because you might come up with more reasons before I purchase and if you start using both groups to build something that can't be done with one......well, that is a a game changer for sure and I'm getting the 2.

So far I'm pretty sure you would be good with the 1 group.

A little bit of milk for that drink.

PVL 3oz of milk in Gethumbwini Peaberry

I have a spare gasket and a spare lever seal kit (along with a tamper, a Kyocera CM-45, a couple of Bodum Pavina's and a couple of 2oz espresso cups) coming from Orphan Espresso

Is it to late to trade the cups for a bottomless?

I'm starting to really need to see what is going on in there.....

Shaun,

A question if I may ... I notice all your pulls on the PVL come excruciatingly slow.  Is this planned or is this just the way the honey drips?

Thank you for posting them all in one spot, instead of STARTING A BLEEPING NEW THREAD for each one. 

You're the best Py!   

Better yet, put them in the CL/EBay forum rather than clogging this thread with them.

I think he was complaining about the ones I have been putting in those forums.

It was like something I have heard before. Someone complaining about posts in an area of the forum that he doesn't have to go into.

Planned.

In the next video, which you'll see in a bit, I adjusted things for the next coffee - a straight shot of a 28hr post-roast Calle de Copey.

Is this a decision to improve the flavor of the shot?

Pretty much sold on the PVL?

best price on a PVL so far? $921 shipped?

Where did you see that Py?

A double basket SO shot of a 28hr old Calle de Copey into a 2oz cup.

15.3gms dosed as a level basket with a 3lb tamp giving a 5mm headspace pulled as per the vid (3sec pre-infusion w/ two full length pulls and killed at early blonding). Extraction resulted in 19gms. Nice sweet nose maybe a bit of honey but not overly big at this point. Acidity was bright and clear but not sharp. Medium body with a hint of creaminess. Tastes like a sweet tangerine that had been sauteed lightly in a lightweight honey. Transported to a spot in Florida and the first bite of a perfect tangerine just plucked off a tree.

That's too much information.
