Between my decent, ims, pullman and pcl? Yes. Decent and ims are way closer to each other than the other two. Not the fairest comparison because the decent is the only one I have in 10g, so I've dropped the dose in the others. Pullman+paper filters is close to pcl 2200 hole but I've really been liking the coffee off the pcl more. The pcl cone is very different than the pcl billet I have. Its all preference, but there are differences and going with a dumb basket diameter limits your options. Some people swear by the $5 low flow ridgeless 14g.

I just watched a vid that talked about headspace yesterday lol. Yeah its a thing people know about, but espresso shit is just esoteric. I'd start using papers and a thin top screen if you're not already. Bottom paper is going to mitigate alot of that channeling and even out your flow rate for those finer/fresher shots. Those eureka burrs are about the exact opposite of the unimodal burrs pcl is using so you may want to look into a more "truncated" or cone basket. The one he's talking about here isn't on aliexpress yet but should be soon. Headspace talk at 4:20
