Hey Dan,
Got mine about an hour ago and just pulled my first four shots. WOW:coffeedrink: Thanks for your extra instructions, you are a master of the bean! The first round went well, about the same as my handpresso using preground illy (I didn't want to waste good bean on my trial run). Round two yielded crema that could have floated a dime on it! I attribute the difference to using local roast I picked up yesterday and ground about 2 minutes before pulling the shot. Amazing results for such a relatively inexpensive device. I'm impressed with the fact that the manufacture included several replacement o rings as well.
thanks,
Jeff
