One of the best and easiest to understand video with real good tips on flow profiling. Love it.

[damondlam]

Wonderful and educational video on flow profiling, Marc.

[samtv]

Very helpful video. Thanks. I enjoy all of your content. Especially the ones that show the internals of the machines. I really appreciate the time you all put into those.

I finally took the plunge with a Profitec 600 equipped with FC. It's pretty intimidating. I've got a feeling I'll be coming back to this video quite often.

This is a great video. New Synchronika owner with flow control. This machine is so much fun toying with the flow for your own custom shots.

[CajournoOddity]

Again excellent video on flow control, thank you 🙏

[jozinzbazin]

Thank you for this video. It helped me a lot.

[longfade]

Very interesting. Thanks for such an informative video.

[SydneyPanda]

Thank you so much for the wealth of information. Very useful and well presented.

[canadian_coffe_guy]

Great video Marc. Thanx for simplifying the process. One day that Synchronika will be in my coffee bar. Ha ha

[glitchedpolygons]

You emit pure sympathy, Marc! Thank you so much for all these awesome videos, I learned so much! :)

hi mark… i have a question here. but first. thanks a lot for your effort.. i am from europe so i wont be able to give anything in return one day but my appreciation… big thanks 🙏 me, Profiec 600 with ecm flow control installed. when i close the flow control lever completely i still have a flow rate of 1, 9 ml/second. On your graph the valve closes completely… any comments welcome.. … Valve/Flow G/S: 0 = 2; 1/4 = 3ml; 2/4 = 4ml; 3/4 = 5ml; 4/4 = 5, 6; 5/4= 6; 6/4=6ml… 7/4/FULL/ 8, 8 ml.. do i something wrong ? greetings..joh

I love your educational videos. Thanks guys!

Great video, when you mention about the drips coming through, if using a bottomless portafilter is it the same, as the first few drops appear?

[SecurityDivision]

If I for example turn the lever to a default machine's flow rate, will it be the same brew as with the stock non adjustable mushroom? Does installing the flow profiler change the workflow from default, or you can set the flow and forget it if you are not using it actively? I'm worried about this as the machine needs a spring change in the bottom part, which as I understand controls short pre-infusion.

Hi Marc! I just got the flow control kit today and installed. It works amazing!! Really amazing! Only request for future enhancement is to change the shape of knob or the way how it controls the flow if possible because it's kinda too hot to touch the knob (or my fingers touch somewhere) when machine is warmed up 😅

[familyarttess]

Hi Marc, is it possible to instal on commercial machine? Thanks s lot

[PK-vdvo]

I use a Vesuvius for pressure profiling, (which is effectively flow rate). I tend to have a low pressure early on for preinfusion, bump up for the middle of the pull, then tail off with a much reduced pressure because of the increased porousness of the grind as it runs through the shot. The result is spectacular.

[piermariodipietro]

Hi Marc, assuming you are using a Synchronika through the water tank (hence no “automatic” pre-infusion) and that you are brewing dark roasted coffee, how do you combine the need to start with a very slow flow to do pre-infusion with the aggressive flow required by the type of beans? Many thanks!

[bobadams]

How many weeks or months after the roast date are the beans considered older for the high to low flow rate process? Thank you
