Ok my Ikon has unpressurised baskets and I have a Nemox grinder. Been using freshly roasted beans from Single Origin at 3.5/4 setting on Nemox as per suggested by Single Origin.
Dismal crema.
Setting on Nemox 4 means Ikon is backwashing for long time before espresso comes out.. although it does come out, eventually (very very slow drip only). Seems I got the best crema here meaning about 1mm layer which dissipates eventually to sides
Setting <4 means no espresso comes out.
Setting 5/6 means espresso has mouses tail but the coffee is lighter in color (?) and tastes like diluted short black
Any ideas?
