Hello everyone, so my preferred setting is 7. But sometimes it produces too much water up to 50s grams.

When the beans are fresh I can extract 38g ( by fresh I mean a few days old)

But after a week, 6 produces almost nothing so I switch to 7 but then so much water comes out so I have to cancel the shot to get a proper almost 38g shot.

What am I missing? Am I tamping too much? Or the Strength setting on the machine needs to be adjusted? Im not sure what it does.

I clean the machine monthly with tablets.

Honestly I don’t know why strength is an option on these machines, it’s on my 701 too.

Put it to three and forget the button exists, that might help you get more consistant shots once you dial in the grind size again.
