    hi all, well i came home from bing lee yesterday with a em3910 and the 4080 grinder will follow shortly, all up $670
    Is this meant to be a EM6910 machine Noni?

    Mal.

    Er yes, oops. EM6910

    And I know the GJ beans would have been crappy but it was a matter of getting anything on the way home from the shop to try it out. As soon as I get the grinder Ill be on bean bay! I havent even sent the form off yet though, the sales guy at bing lee didnt have any left so said hed have to ring and get more and would post me one so it will be delayed a little more than usual.

    EDIT - just realised i can buy ground off bean bay. i was thinking it was just beans, der. Ok I will go order some shortly!

    Speaking of which, I have noticed the pressure gauge on my machine hardly moves at all so Im thinking the grind I have been using so far is too coarse (although Im sure it could be a dozen other things as well). Will post an update once Ive tried some decent beans.

      Yeah the grind was probably to course or you tamped to lightly or you underdosed.
      When you get the grinder you will get better results than preground.

        Got my beanbay beans today and wow what a difference they made. Thank you Andy!
        The pressure gauge actually moved to where it was supposed to go and I got a lovely shot instead of a burst of brown water.
        Still a lot to learn but was very impressed at the difference the beans made, thanks
