hey folks!
long time listener first time poster...
i have an em2300 (sunbeam cafe ristretto) with the breville single wall filter set. and a conical burr em0450.
if i grind at a setting of 9, my machine gushes pretty bad. about 10 seconds for 25 ml. bit of a watery taste there
if i grind at a setting of 8, my machine blocks up and cracks the shits, almost every time. sometimes it sort of works, but its a gamble.
is this simply a limitation of the el cheapo machine? does it not have have enough pressure?
the other "weak link" in my setup, from what i can gather from these forums is that i use the plastic tamper still... but im not sure if i can see a connection to the issue im having.
is there something im missing?
ive tired heaps of different tamping (on scales as well) which seems to not really change anything.
thanks!
