Ok. I have no idea why, but I can’t seem to get 2 consistent shots out of my Move.

I follow all the usual advice: machine well up to temp, group head warmed and flushed between the shots (given ample time to come back to brew temp between shots) solid puck prep with WDT and self levelling tamper. Puck screen in IMS basket 19.5gms in for 36 out in 30ish seconds.

Using the manual process of holding the 2 shot button to control pre infusion. Preinfuse just until the shot is visible, pause for 4 then run the shot until I hit 36gms in roughly 30 seconds. Great. Do it all exactly the same but second shot just press the double shot button for it to do its pre programmed thing set only 10 mins ago, and I get 15gms at best before it says enoughs enough and finishes the cycle 😖. I can’t seem to get any consistency unless I manually pull the shot each time. What am I doing wrong? I want to be able to dial in so the wife can just press and play getting a half decent shot, but this seems impossible. 😣😣😣. Any help or insight greatly appreciated 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

Well, I'd heard rumors of this being a thing on the Moves, but had also heard that they had the issue sorted out.

I guess I heard wrong.

I went to turn on my Move this morning and the Power button no longer stays depressed. If I hold it in I can see the lights come on and it start to turn on, but the moment I take pressure off the switch comes back out and everything shuts off.

Ugh.

I have a ticket created with Clive. I was really hoping not to have to wrench on this machine for a good long while.

A fun, quick, this group poll for everybody.

Post what grinder your currently using and max 3 sentences on why that's your choice at the moment. (We can discuss under each response.)

I'm thinking of getting something new from my Sk40 mii coffee version.

I'm between a DF 64 gen 2 or a DF83V.

I want to upgrade to the Move. I have a Sylvia, which I like in many ways, but as a single boiler is not ideal given the fact that I almost always make milk drinks and almost always two at a time. I'm concerned about spending so much and I would expect it to be without issues. But then I read about people's concerns about things like steam power and inconsistency, or inconsistency without spending a ton of time to let it warm up. I thought this forum was the best place to look for someone living in the Los Angeles area who might be so into the Move as to be willing to demonstrate it in use?

Anyone else stop using the timer? I just set my double shot timer to max and start stop it when I think the shot is done. 3sec infusion 4sec pause and go.

My shot quality is significantly more consistent now.

Hello people. Second week using my new machine.

For context, I usually have two latte-style drinks every morning —one for my SO and one for me.

Puck prep essentially comes down to

-18.3 g into the grinder. (Two spritz of water)

-WDT to spread everything out

-I use a depth leveler (spin it twice)

-Tamp with a spring-loaded MWH bomber

-Add a puck screen on top

The very first shot no problems essentially 30ish grams out in 30 seconds.

I do have PI turned on, with a 3 second PI and a 5 second pause and then a 25 second pull. No problems.

The second shot everything is as listed above.

Same beans, same grinder, same everything.

Second shot consistently pulls quicker. Usually have to stop it. For example this morning I had to stop at at 45 g with 5 seconds left. (Steaming my milk and was distracted).

I guess for additional details, I do have a Turin sk40 conical. (I'm considering upgrading)

The display on my machine does show 90C just like the first shot. So I don't really understand what I'm missing. You guys have any insight?
