After the old forum software breaking in a way that we were unable to fix, we've migrated the site to a new platform.

Some elements aren't working as we'd hoped - some avatars didn't survive the transition, and we're still having issues with attachments that weren't added as inline images, but we're hoping to have that all sorted out soon.

Why is it so ?

    It's stupid because it's nitpicking. Retained grinds, to me, means actual ground coffee that has left the burrs but not the chute. That is called grind retention. Every grinder ever made will have partially ground beans sitting on or in the burrs and they don't count as far as I'm concerned. Of course I realise the significance of leaving the grind path full for 3/4 hours between shots. It's not like I or anyone else does it deliberately. It is what it is. I always new what the issue was and the way to solve it. I just put it out there to see how others responded. I shouldn't have bothered.
    I don't get this... So you always knew the issue was the beans and grinds left in the grinder ?... Yet you led us along and told us ....."the grind chamber is empty" etc... I don't mind playing games, but I prefer it if the rules are fair and the information is truthful !  ::)

    I haven't led anyone on at all. All the information required was in the very first post. No where have I said, " please help me , I have this massive problem and I don't know what is causing it".  The first words in the first post are " I find this interesting and mysterious". If you choose to dabble with semantics that is your choice.

    "But why the difference ? " = rhetorical question "thoughts" = thoughts. Not a plea for help.

    Hey fellas, I think it's time to go back to your corners and await the judges' verdict.  :head: Let's settle for a tied points decision, better than a knockout eh? Old Chinese proverb; "It is only when a mosquito lands on your testicles that you realize....... There is always a way to solve problems without violence."  :coffee2:

    Nice post Kevo! Yep, this is a great thread that is suffering from overly passionate discourse in recent posts.  I re-read MyCuppa's post a couple of times and realised something very important.  I've almost run out of the Chai that my wife and neighbours love... Better place an order with him and perhaps something nice for me as a reward for being the great provider of Chai.  My final contribution is 'oils ain't oils' DX! ;)

    The discussion seems to surround the stale grind. If anything, stale grind tends to run faster and thus lighter-color shot. What's happening here are the opposite. My take is on the hx temp as hinted before. 5 sec flush is good for bringing down the temp after a long 30-45 min warm up. But another 5 sec flush after the first shot will definitely bring it down lower than the point before. Mitica is semi-commercial so the recovery time probably isn't as steep as what we thought.
    Sounds on the money to me , how about running the second shot without the cooling flush and compare.

    Too late Naki !.. Apparently, like me you thought you were trying to help someone solve a mystery. But, if you look above , you will see the OP knew what the problem was from the start ! He was just teasing us all, pretending to ask the question ..."why is it so".. ::)

    Why don't go down to the paint shop and argue about the different shades of black. I'm sure they would appreciate it as much as I appreciate your retarded views.
