Some drops of clear water bypassing portafilter
Just in case this is helpful to anyone else: in the last two days I've noticed a few drops of clear water falling beside my cup during pre-infusion on my LR. I removed the shower screen to inspect the basket and did find a little bit of grinds built up on the seal just above where it was leaking, but cleaning that didn't resolve the problem.
I had been tightening the portafilter to about 6:30, looking down from above. It felt snug and never leaked before. After searching on group seals here, I saw a post by Reiss suggesting another user tighten to at least 6:00 during a pull to ensure a good seal.
That solved my problem. No need to replace the shower screen gasket (yet), nor do the group seals.
