my math on beans is VERY different than most, I'd bet. It's gotta be a pretty special bean for me to buy it at retail, or even half off retail.
-
it’s a sad story but 6 month old coffee is pretty old already.

if you have a bottomless portafilter, does the stream consolidate into a single stream or is it a shower or multiple streams? It's probably crumbling because you're getting better extraction. Watch the pour, and stop it a little after you get blonding, and you should have a good shot. Experiment with that and find out where your sweet spot is for flavor.
-
One thing to know about the niche: the numbers are only really useful as an internal reference, because they're entirely dependent on how you calibrated it.

the brush if I start noticing retention. Not very often.
-
What grinder are you using? 15 seconds is quick enough it sounds like you aren't getting enough extraction. I'd recommend a LOT finer, but taste is what matters, so...

I wouldn't worry too much about extraction times that are under a minute. The main reason for the 30 second rule is for speed making drinks for a cafe. Worry more about how it tastes.
-
I can control temperature (by purging the steamer), pre-infusion (how long I let it fill), delay (how long I hold the lever before letting the spring work), and time (how long til I swap the cup for the dump pitcher) on my machine. Steam I control completely tho, and the machine has amazing steam. I honestly haven't noticed a difference with any tamp pressure as long as it's "enough".
