I got the grinder yesterday so I can finally try out the Legato. The bottomless portafilter arrives tomorrow so I’m using the one that came with the machine. I’ve tried three shots so far, the first two coming out incredibly sour. My third shot tasted okay after grinding finer each time. I’m measuring 19g of beans and from what I’ve gathered from YouTube and Reddit, I should be expecting roughly 38g of espresso. I didn’t measure the first time, but the last two attempts both yielded 30g of espresso at different grind settings, the last taking 25 seconds. I’m using the automatic button on the machine. What should I adjust to get a 1:2 ratio that I think I should be getting?

Use the manual button until you’re hitting 38g and adjust your grind size until you’re at about 30 seconds. When you get your new portafilter, you’re going to have to dial it in again. If you are still really sour, shoot for a bigger shot 1:2.5 ratio.

The 30 second recipe is mainly for dark-roast 1:2 extractions. Consider relaxing the time rule and aim for the extraction ratio that gives you the flavor you like. Then adjust from there.

1:2 is just a guideline to get started/dial in a new bean.
Tastes is always king. I tend to pull more volume in that 30 seconds. Something like 19g in, 55-57g out in 30 seconds.
