Greetings although I have been reading some very interesting postings in CoffeeSnobs for some time this is my first post and attempt to acquire some help with my machine.
I have owned a Via Venezia for about a year and a half and quite frankly I was getting a more consistent pour out the old Breville I previously owned. So my quest now is for a more consistent crema coffee. I use only fresh roasted beans I buy from a local roaster. So the beans are always fresh. The machine is kept very clean.
So I believe the problem is isolated to two possibilities:
(1) To grind I use a Krups burr grinder and I have read quite a bit on the forum that they are not that crash hot.
(2) I have also read that the pressurized portafilter on the Venezia could also be another possibility.
The other day encouraged by the forum I had a shot at roasting with an air popper. The result outstanding coffee, flavor and crema from that particular batch which I have not been able to duplicate since. I have roasted some more but without the same outcome. So to date I’m still stuck on whether it is the grinder or the portafilter which is mentioned in the forum as being a problem for some Venezia owners . I have tried grinding at various settings today without any luck.
The coffee I have made since I owned the machine has always been good but inconsistent particularly as when I owned the Breville I used a blade grinder with good results. Many Thanks in advance.
Cheers
