Churz, beans were a mixture of your Kimbo ones and these: https://welshcoffee.com/product/brazil-sao-silvestre/
Dunno how much you've experimented with Brazilian beans, but these are top notch and my fav so far:)

Anyway, this is really for Gaz's benefit... Puck time, and how one should look if you've got the grind and tamping right:

Happiness is nice hard puck!:D Lol... For me, if it doesn't leave the filter basket firmly packed like that, and instead breaks up easily when knocking it out, then you haven't done your prep right! The attention to detail I put into that process will be revealed shortly when I post my espresso-making method.
As you can see, still a lovely sunny evening in Wrexham!:cool:

rather good that one;)
Lol, did it hit the spot mate?:D
Trouble is, even if you perfect the grind, and measure out everything (as I do, and probably you, too) to a notionally 'perfect' level, there are still so many variables, out with of your control, which can alter the final results, either positively or negatively.
For white coffee, for example, the freshness of the milk (and therefore how good it froths when steamed, thus pours) makes a BIG difference. You probably notice that, too. Coffee grinds distribution and tamping is another. However, measuring things out certainly improves consistency and gives you the best chance possible of optimising the results!:cool:

yup, lots of variables, and they vary at times too from last time. sometimes you are just more in the groove for making too. i pretty much use close to same stuff and same method always, so they are mostly very close but not always; there is that X factor that goes missing, and the Y factor that appear occasionally to make a good one great.
Yup, totally agree... And don't forget the 'KY' factor, and how that maximises the spurt!:D:eyebrows:

Pained Thursday coffee.
