I recently purchased an unpressurised basket through the Breville parts people to trial with my breville 800es.
I tested the basket using the breville smart grinder and also the older breville 450(?) grinder - both on their finest grind setting and with hard tamp pressure. I found that the shot poured through too fast and with poor/no creme. Same result with single and double baskets. Also used freshly roasted beans.
I think its because the grinder cant go fine enough or is it just the machine?
Can I try something else?
