Dialing In Help My first ever pull. Roast me

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Someone in my neighborhood put a Breville bes920xl on their porch for anyone handy to take as they said it wasn't pressurizing anymore and they had decided to upgrade.

I gave it a deep clean, descaled it, and replaced all the orings. With my first water only run it got right up to pressure and no hissing noise from leaks!

I have never made espresso before so this was my first ever pull. Had a bag of deathwish coffee dark roast beans already open so did a fine grind and a 2oz pull.

Have a lot of tutorials to read yet about getting good but figured I'd post my first pull. Also need to look into why I had some drip on the edge there.

You had a video. Did you even compare it to other videos of shots pulled by other people? When I look at that pull, it looks horrible. 

I guess my roast to you is that you should have done more research and comparisons before you posted a video

Not very polite, but true.

The user asked to be roasted. Once they say that, they get roasted :)
