Hi,
so I'm sure this is a very stupid question, I'm hoping someone will take pity on me. I just bought a new Rancilio Silvia. However, I am having trouble getting the portafilter in. Without coffee I have no problems, but once I fill it with ground coffee, scrape off the excess and tamp, no luck. I'm not a totally idiot, so if I take some and re-tamp, I do arrive at a point where I can sort of get it in. The thing is all the videos on the internet showing people filling the portfilter with an excess of coffee, scrapping it level and then press it, so I'm fairly sure I'm following what the videos show.
Can anyone please advise, many thanks!
