A friend has a delonghi like the one pictured in your profile justyou. He got way off track, starting fiddling with the control options and changing several setings at once. The end result was he ended up producing long weak bitter drinks and would use milk and sugar to make it palatable.
My advice is re-read the manual. Test the effect of altering one setting at a time. I'd start by revisiting grind size and volume in the cup. Be prepared to pull the cup out from under the spouts if it starts to blond rather than just letting it run to the end.
Like others have already said - it's unlikely to be the beans.

My step sister in law had a delonghi auto, ended up only drinking tea when we stayed . She now has a pod thingy which is a vast improvement. Whether it was just her machine or they are all crook not sure.Leave a comment:

Welcome justyou,
FWIW, I honestly doubt it. Andy didn't win the recent Golden Bean comp. by chance.
I think it's likely that you have issues with your extraction. This could be caused by your any or all of your gear, hygiene issues and your technique.
Have a look over this training dvd for some good tips.

You might get a more informed response if you tell us which ones you thought were bitter, whether you bought green or roasted beans, how you made the coffee, and with what equipment.Leave a comment:
