Recently downgraded from a sunbeam conical burr, to a mini-mazzer (it seems).
My mini mazzer + Lelit PL41 + naked portafilter setup gives only two outcomes:
1- Brew head blocks up and only slightly drips
2- Paints my wall, floor, splash back in coffee encouraging thoughts to end my life with a rock.
I have tried all combinations of the following: (all with beans 2 weeks old)
- Fine/coarse grinds
- Tapping/no tapping during dosing and before tamping
- Different volumes of grinds (always with dosing tool)
- Tamping low/high pressure
- Used traditional and naked portafilters
After all experimenting, brought old sunbeam grinder back out, perfect shot achieved (FML).
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
