For Christmas my Bambino Plus was upgraded with a Normcore bottomless filter! Pulled a tasty shot, but did have some spraying but only in a couple spots. Is this due to inconsistent tamping? I usually use a WDT, then manually tamp, and then use a self leveling tamper for Normcore after! Would love advice!

Also, while we are all probably unwrapping some fun gifts, post what you got below!

    Could this be caused from grinding to fine? Causing too much pressure?

    Exactly the same setup and issue, I was just too lazy to create a post 😀

    “did some spraying” brother, it didn’t do some spraying. It sprayed the whole time and did some pouring.

    Got the same as you, the grinder it use I the Bartaza encore which the sweet spot is number 16 not sure if helps but you’re super close 👍🏽

    How did you take a video of my shot this morning?? 15% of it landed on my hand and counter top with my new Christmas beans. That’s how I found out I needed to grind finer. Lol

    Why would you double tamp? What do you think that is accomplishing?

    A great way to prevent this is to not use bottomless portafilters.
