Notes

Flow started at around 9 seconds even across both spouts, but became restricted in the right spout for the rest of the shot, sometimes dripping sometimes wobbly, which I think indicates channeling. Taste is slightly sour and very bright, similar to the first shot

Summary

Shot 2 on Ándale Market bag 2 came in at 25s, ratio 2.17, balance 3 — slightly sour but drinkable. You moved to grind 31 (2 clicks coarser than shot 1's grind 29), which is the opposite direction from what was needed, and it shows: the shot ran noticeably faster. The right-spout restriction throughout is a real channeling signal worth addressing.

What the Numbers Say

25s puts this in Normal territory, but at the fast edge — shot 1 at grind 29 ran 36s (Slow), so coarsening 2 clicks dropped you 11 seconds, which is a big jump for just two steps. Ratio at 2.17 is Normal and consistent with shot 1. Balance moved from 4 to 3, slightly sour — consistent with the faster pull. The taste description ('slightly sour and very bright, similar to the first shot') suggests the extraction character is similar but dialing in coarser didn't help balance — it made it marginally more sour.

The One Thing to Change

Go back to grind 29 and focus entirely on even WDT distribution, especially on the right side of the puck this time.

Shot 1 at grind 29 was balanced (4) with left-spout issues. Shot 2 at grind 31 is slightly sour (3) with right-spout channeling — the spout problem switched sides, which points to inconsistent WDT rather than grind. Grind 31 is running too fast. Return to 29 and treat the channeling as a puck prep problem, not a grind problem. Slow down your WDT pass on both sides and make sure you're reaching all the way to the basket edge.

Bean Context

Ándale Market is a bright, acidic Latin American blend — cherry, nougat, wildflower honey. At 12 days post-roast on a medium, you're in peak window. Slight sourness is partly bean character on this one, not purely an extraction flag. Shot 1's balance 4 with grind 29 was the better baseline — the bean wasn't the problem here, puck prep was.

Progress

The alternating spout issue (left last shot, right this shot) is a useful clue — it's telling you WDT distribution is inconsistent across shots, not that grind is off. Locking that variable down is the next real unlock here.
