What to Do if the Shot Was Too Slow

A shot that pulls too slow usually means the flow is overly restricted from grinding too fine or overdosing. This tends to cause over-extraction, showing up as bitterness. To avoid this try...

Adjust Your Grind Setting Coarser

Try adjusting your grind setting coarser, but not an entire setting coarser (i.e., one number to another). A tiny adjustment can typically go a long way. 

If The Next Setting on Your Grinder is Too Large a Jump

Some grinders may not allow enough granular adjustment to dial in your shot to the second. If you're experiencing this, try reducing your dose slightly instead (around 0.2 grams).
