hey espresso people,

Im having troubles with coffee dripping off the portafilter handle and eventually running along the whole handle making a big mess. I am using a bottomless portafilter from Lelit with my Lelit Anna with PID and a Eureka Mignon Zero 65 AP grinder.

It started a few days ago when I tried dialing in a light roast, I thought at first that channeling might be the problem but no matter what I do it keeps happening.

I am very carefully in my puck prep with a WDT, I cleaned my gasket and sealing seems fine and I backflush regularly. I also tried leaning my machine more backwards in case it is not levelled, but also this didn't help.

I am trying to pull faster shots 1:3 in about 25 seconds, do you think the fast flowrate could be the cause?

Thanks for your help!
