Hi all. Pardon my novice question, but here it is. Just got a commercial machine (and old single San Marino). Working great, with a Sunbeam grinder to go with it. But still experimenting with tamping, grind variables. It seems to me I can get a pour which is about 25 seconds easily enough. But I seem to probably be putting more than 7g of coffee in. And also, the pour is not a smooth stream for the whole shot. It starts that way, but then gets splashy and spluttery making a mess of my nice clean cup. I dont like it.
Should I be grinding more coursely, using less coffee and tamping harder? There are bigger issues in the world, I know... but still. Id welcome any thoughts.
