Hi!
Im just a newbie - so apologies in advance if this may seem obvious to some. :-[
I just acquired a Rancilio Silvia and matched it with a Sunbeam EMO480 (thanks to tips and advice on this site).
However after extensive research, Ive come accross diffrences of opinion about the dosing levels in the filter basket for the Silvia - which has a dosing line.
Can anyone provide advice on whether the coffee (after tamping) should be just below the dosing line, on the line, or just above it???
Im experimenting with the many different variables to get the perfect pull to 25 seconds - I beleive this is one of many variables that could be holding me back from perfecting a shot. BTW - I also assume based on all the reading that 25 seconds is the goal.
Im usually getting a dosing level just under the dosing line, even after a hard tamp and very fine grind, Im only getting an approx 12 second pull.
Thanks in advance - Tony

Tamper) this would bring the coffee level a couple of milimetres under the fill line on the basket. Hence why I was getting 10 - 15 second pulls.
