Catch Test 

What does a catch test tell us? 
A catch tests tells us a lot of information in a little amount of time. Mainly if there is any restriction of flow anywhere in the brew system. If we know the flow path is clear, we can troubleshoot elsewhere. Alternatively, if we know there is restriction in the water path, we have isolated the issue and can work to find where the root cause is. 


Test:
Enter into the main menu by pressing the encoder knob once 
The first category will read 'Brew Extraction Vol. Weight', click encoder knob to enter this category 
The category will read 'Brew Singl. Vol.', click the encoder knob to change the volume (g) 
Change volume (g) to 100 
Click the encoder knob to save  
Actuate the brew group from 'off' to all the way to the left and back to 'off' to reset the display back to the main screen 
Remove the dispersion screen and screw from each group with a flathead screw driver 
With a milk pitcher in a scale and under the group, actuate the group to the middle position 
After 10 seconds actuate the group to the 'off' position 
Repeat this test 3 times for each group  
Record each result
