    Re: best roasted beans for cappuccino???

    Baz... Read teh grinder section... Lots of info there...

    The settings are different for each machine... You could also read the User manual as it also suggests where to start at, as a guide.

    It also depends on teh beans - FRESH not Supermarket ones...

      Regardless of the machine youre using "baz" if you start off with coffee ground so that it feels like fine table salt when rubbed between your fingers, that should get things started for you....

        just with the grinding (got the em0480), ive noticed that its got something like 20 different grinding settings. does anyone know what i should have that setting on to match with the em6910 machine???
        Hi Baz - the espresso machine is irrelevant but the manual for the grinder suggests 12-16 for an espresso grind.

        I had read loads in here about the EM0480 before I got mine, with snobs having trouble, needing spacers etc but the common thread I saw through that was to set it at 10.

        So first go I set it at 10......on the EM6910 "shot clock" I was straight off the dial and nothing, I mean nothing coming through the pf.

        Wound it back to 16 and bang!! In the zone. Depending on the age of the beans, temp, humidity etc I have found myself somewhere in the 12-16 band for espresso grind, and never outside it. Use this as a starting point as per the manual. Oh yeah, ring Sunbeam customer service and get the snout for it too, part number EM048X. Trust me, you need it.

        Hope this helps

        Chris

        ...who really feels like he lucked out with both devices working as per SB manuals...

            Ive bought two EM480s, 1 for French Press at home and one for my parents as a gift.  Theirs worked straight out of the box but mine needed THREE spacers to get anywhere     Hope you have better luck.

            Its a franga for your grinder!  The stock snout is too short and leads to grinds being flung everywhere.  Sunbeam have made a kinked silicone tube that slides over the snout to address this.  I think theres a photo of one on this site actually. *looks around* Ahh, here tis.  Courtesy of TassieBean.

              im guessing you use the beans from beanbay too.
              We smoke and chaff our own baz, but doubt the grind needed will be much distance from Andys fresh brownbean offerings.

              Im wondering on how long before you are doing the same
