thought the sweet spot was 9 bars

It is, but until they start selling the OPV kit for the Legato we are stuck with 15.

Edit: let me know what grind setting you’re using on the DF64 for that shot. Give me a head start on dialing

15 is the sweet spot for the beans I’m using. They are medium roast. I started at 7 and it took too long and pressure was way high. The third shot I settled in on 15 and it is close.

I saw yesterday that apparently MiiCoffee (same machine/different brand) is saying they’re working on a circuit board swap that would actually allow for true pre-infusion.

A reviewer recently dropped a video on YouTube that showed how the current form of “pre-infusion” just drops water for a second or two then pauses for the amount of time you set. But the new update will actually run water for the time the pre-infusion is set for.

If there was an OPV fix now I think I’d go ahead and jump on this rather than the Breville Dual Boiler. Maybe I’ll wait a while longer and just see how it plays out.

My DF64 Gen 2 arrived yesterday, but I still can’t decide on an espresso machine. Maybe I’ll try some grinds for my aeropress.

Anyone in the Baton Rouge area finding fresh roasted beans locally?
