At work we have a Kitchen Aid Artisan Espresso machine which I am led to believe is a decent machine at around $1100 - $1200. We have always had the paper sachet Illey coffee which makes ok coffee and is easy to clean up but I just don’t think it makes as good coffee as freshly ground or even pre ground coffee from a packet. The problem I have is that for some reason whenever I use pre ground coffee from a pack the water rushes through the coffee far too easily and as a result there is no crème. I made sure the coffee I bought was supposedly suitable for espresso machines but even when I tamp it down really hard it doesn’t help, the water still runs through really quickly.
We have a coffee grinder here but it doesn’t seem to be working very well and I can only get a really coarse grind that is nowhere near suitable for an espresso machine, I wouldn’t even use it in a plunger.
Any ideas? Am I doing something wrong, or is the machine not working properly?
