Hi,
We've finally taken the plunge and got our first coffee machine, great service from JetBlack. Obviously we have a lot to learn and have booked a course with JB but that's not until the new year, and would like some ideas on how to improve to something which is better than filter coffee.
At the moment I just can't get the machine to extract at 9 bar, if I put the blind filter in it comfortably sits at 10bar without any fluctuation, but when I pull shots it only goes to 4 bar.
I started using 18g coffee and have tried putting even more in the basket, 24g, and it still isn't good. I've got a very bad video I took last night here: http://youtu.be/-e9RBEhVHKQ
The grind is very fine and was ground by JB on their mazzer so I'd assume the grind is ok (the grinder is still on order).
Any help on what I'm doing wrong?
Cheers
Alex
