Hi guys! I just signed up to CS and also just got a new coffee machine from a friend of mine as a birthday gift. She bought me a Breville Barvista (home machine with 15 bar themablock pump, http://<span style="color:#006666">h...rod=323</span>) along with a pack of ground coffee (Columbian Dark) from a reputable coffeebean stall in the market. I used it for a few times and I noticed that the flow rate was tad higher than an Expobar group 2 coffee machine that I used at work. The liquid coffee that came out of the Barvista was very quick (less than 10 seconds and white foam were driven out, Expobar was 15-20 seconds) and the liquid lacks coffee taste. When I asked about the grind size the stall used to grind the beans she said that they ground the beans according to the machines brand (a number 5 grind size), any finer will clog the filter, which leads me to believe that the grind size is appropriate.
My question is: Do I pull the liquid coffee longer eventhough it produces more white foam or try to stick with the less 10 seconds? Or do I reduce the grind size?
PS, the filter basket only has one hole, although it seemed like a filter with many holes.
Cheers
