Hello,
I am new to this forum, but have been doing a bit of reading after originally searching google
about the Sunbeam EM5600 machine, and finding this website.
I have read a few posts about modifications to these machines to produce a better pour etc, but I cant seem to find the start of the posts in order to find out why parts are being changed, and what a pressurised vs non-pressurised basket is. I realise the stock basket that comes with the machine is a double skinned basket. Is this what makes it a pressurised basket? Over one with only one skin making it non pressurised?
Which seal is better? the Breville 800ES/192 seal, or the Krups Group Head Seal (MS-620342)?
Which basket is better? the Breville ESP4/78 basket filter ("2-4 cup") or the Krups one, which I dont have a part number for (does someone have this?)
What other parts of the machine have people modified, and why? Something about a crema enhancer?
which part of the machine is this?
Any help would be appriciated.
We hsve a machine that has been replaced 3 times now, 2 for the tray at the bottom rusting (has
anyone else had this problem?), and one for the water knob on the right failing to stay on for a
pour.
We are finding we have to turn the handle to the right of centre now, compared to when we got it it only had to be in the centre. I assume this is a sign of the seal starting to wear?
I am mainly wanting to find out more about the modifications, starting from the beginning, and what parts have been replaced to produce a better pour/better resulting coffee.
I am using freshly roasted beans, which I am getting a great coffee from as it stands, but am always looking for better. We mainly make flat whites and lattes, however there is also a long black every now and then.
Kind Regards
