Hi all,
Apologies if this has already been discussed before but would appreciate some help on the above combo. Im fairly dumb when it comes to common terms however understand the fact that Im using a pressurised filter and probably want to switch to a non-pf.
Ive had the em5600 for about a year now and just recently decided to purchase a grinder for want of a better cup of coffee! Usually I get the coffee ground for "espresso" so Im unsure what setting they use on their grinder. I probably should pay more attention.
Im using the following beans, http://www.peoplescoffee.co.nz/don-wilfredo-espresso-2/, as this is what I normally drink from my local coffee shop and love the taste. The problem Im having is that when I set the grind to fine, between 12-15 for espresso according to the manual. The machine is struggling to push water through the basket to the point where theres no flow of coffee at all apart from a couple of drops. Im only lightly tamping as the first time round I put too much pressure on.
If I set the grind to ~20 only then do I get flow albeit uneven with one side flowing then starting to drip.
I decided to try without any coffee in the basket and the flow is uneven so Im guessing its an issue with the filter? Would I benefit from switching to a krups non-pf basket? If so what model # would I be looking for? I dont have any tools handy to mod the existing basket.
Again apologies if this has been discussed to death and thanks in advance for any help
