Here's a clip showing preinfusion set for 6 seconds @ 40psi.

The coffee is a single farm (to be named later :D ) after I create the perfect roast profile on the Hottop.
The shot in this particular clip almost floored me and I almost didn't live to tell about it...
it was THAT GOOD.
This bean was roasted until the first audible second crack and then stopped immediately.

Nice video, seems to be very effective. The esprosso shot looks marvelous. Thanks Nilo. :D

Especially when no water comes out for several seconds!. I've noticed that the p/i needs to be primed by the first flush of the day. After the 1st one the water comes out immediately after the click but there is a delay of several seconds the first time. Even after a 2-3 hour idle period there will be a 2-3 second delay before you get any water on the 1st flush.

Re: Preinfusion
Since everyone should be doing one or two warming flushes anyway, this shouldn't add any extra steps.

Re: Preinfusion
Great video Niko! Thanks for posting it.
A few questions as I start reading through all these p/i threads and jumping on the p/i bandwagon :
(1) Do you count the 6 seconds in your total extraction time? I did notice you started the timer *after* p/i finished...
(2) When you use 40 psi, I would assume that your group head pressure is also a effected, right? Or are you adjusting those independently somehow?
(3) Have you played around with different line pressures and found 40psi to be the tastiest?

Re: Preinfusion
I've noticed that water doesn't begin to flow immediately if the machine has been idle for a while, probably because the water has evaporated. I'm not in the habit of hitting the double-dose button while I'm grinding the first cup of the say so that when I pull that first shot the puck gets preinfused without delay.
