Re: Breville 800ES Surprise
Hi again "ctang"...
Im not familiar with your particular machine but if it doesnt have a 3-Way Valve to exhaust pressure from the Group at the completion of a shot, and an Over Pressure Valve(OPV) to limit the Brew Water Pressure then the method youre employing is actually the reverse of what you should have done.
Much better and much more likely to arrive at the correct grind and dose for your machine, if you start with a grind setting that produces a quick pour initially. Then tighten up the grind setting a little at a time until youre achieving pours that fall within the so-called Golden Rule of 30/60ml in 25-30 seconds. Coming from a grind size that is too fine will result in pours from excessive pressure and possibly under-dosing as well.
Give it a go and see if it makes a difference.....
Cheers,
Mal.
