Notes

Flow started at 9 seconds evenly but quickly started dripping and recovering on the right spout which remained for the rest of the shot. Slight channeling most probably due to puck prep and over distribution. Taste is bright with lingering acidity. Tones remind me of strawberry

Drink is balanced and light. Not a fan of the strawberry flavor honestly. I added too much water to the milk by not preheating the wand, reducing the overall body of the shot

Summary

Third shot on El Diviso Pink Bourbon — grind 26, 17.5g adjusted dose, 39.1g yield, 21 seconds. The right-side channel is back for the third time: flow started evenly at 9 seconds then dropped to a drip-and-recover pattern on the right spout for the remainder of the pull. Lingering acidity at balance 2 is again the taste result — consistent with under-extraction from channeling, not a grind or bean character issue.

What the Numbers Say

Time is Fast at 21s. Ratio is Normal at 2.23, though the 39.1g yield ran 4.1g over your 35g Espresso target — the pump-stop timing is drifting. The fast time and balance 2 with lingering sourness are consistent with each other, but the notes make clear the culprit is the right-side channel, not grind fineness. A clean, even pull at grind 26 would likely run longer and taste better — the extraction data is being corrupted by the distribution problem.

The One Thing to Change

Before the next shot, slow your WDT down and make 3–4 deliberate inward passes starting from the right edge of the puck specifically — treat the right third of the basket as the priority zone. Also stop the pump at 27g, not later — you overshot yield by 4g this pull.

Three shots, three right-side channels. The flow note — even start at 9s, then right spout drops to drip-and-recover — is a textbook edge-coverage miss. The right side of the puck is being left looser than the center and left. Until you get two consecutive pulls with bilateral, even flow throughout, grind is off the table. Yield control also slipped this shot — hold the 27g pump-stop to land near 35g.

Bean Context

El Diviso is a high-elevation washed light roast with strawberry, honeycomb, and jasmine notes — inherently bright and acidic. At 16 days off roast it's squarely in peak window. The lingering acidity at balance 2 is real under-extraction signal here, not just bean character — strawberry and jasmine should be present but the acidity shouldn't linger. This bean will reward even flow: once the channel is gone you should taste the fruit clarity it's known for.

Progress

Three consecutive right-side channels on this bean is a clear pattern — the WDT gap is reproducible and localized. The good news is it's a fixable mechanics problem, not a setup or grind problem. Fix the right edge and the numbers should follow.
