A full and complete procedure of how to remove the shower screen and how, if one has accidentally dropped it on the floor, to re-attach it to the group by hand:  

 I tried out how fast it can produce back to back shots without overheating and that works very well. 7 shots in 14 minutes That was using the fast etzMAX grinder doing grind by weight, no time consuming grinds distribution, just a few hand taps to let the 'mountain' of grinds flatten, then the quick automatic PUQpress tamper, locking in, pulling lever, count to ten, lever up, pulling the cup after about 30s when the stream turns to drip, pulling the lever a little bit to get lower pressure on the puck (avoiding the little explosion of coffee mud when taking out the PF too early), taking out the portafilter, rinsing it, back to the grinder etc. The last two shots:  

Vectis size:  36.5cm front-back,  42.2cm high box,  20cm wide (top),  lever tip at rest 65cm high  weight (with full boiler) 20kg one shot measured: 18.1g grinds, wet puck weighed 35.6g so 17.5g water soaked up. Max shot weight 42g plus water in puck 17.5g means one shot consumed 59.5g of boiler water.

 

There's almost always some grinds sticking in a grinder's chute (except when there is no chute like in the EtzMAX) and one needs to click / hammer / puff / shake to get it out. I tried a strong vibe on the chute and although fewer grinds hang on inside the chute, a whack is still needed so the vibe is not the solution.
