Just received a coffee machine ( Sunbeam EM4800C) for Xmas and am practicing my my barrister skills. Have noticed that at the end of brewing that I end up with a very wet cake and the creme is a bit short. Any opinions????? Also using a Sunbeam conical burr grinder (EM0450)

Welcome to the gang but lawyers jokes will follow unless you try barrista skills ;-)Originally posted by 000D0D000F545254610 link=1293357305/0#0 date=1293357305my barrister skills
Lots of learning to do by the sounds of it but the machine will produce a decent cup if you add un pressurised basket. The wet puck is a likely result of using to finer grind in the "crema enancer" pressurised basket. These things are meant to work with a range of grinds to produce psuedo crema including preground stale beans. Do a search of the site will reveal plenty of help on the 4800
Keep playing

Re: Wet cake
Or even Coopers Extra Vintage induced errors I think
Now I am more with it back on topic
This thread below might help the OP. Also make sure your beans are fresh roasted and avoid supermarket ones.

Re: Wet cake
Order the single floor set from Breville (pretend you have an 800ES). And away you go.
Mine are still a bit wet after the shot, but I drain it on the drip tray while I do my milk and by the time I am finished its nice and solid and ready to knock out.
