Hi Guys,
i've just purchased this machine along with a breville smart grinder for $530 from Myer. I have to say i am enjoying the coffee from this combination so much that i have stopped purchasing coffee from the local cafe's at work! i'm a little concerned though, as it only takes about 15 seconds for a double shot to pour - although the "pressure gauge" is showing that i'm on the high side, but still in the orange zone. as far as i can tell, this equates to approximately 10 bar of pressure. i have the coffee ground to the second finest setting, dosed 3 to the left and i'm confident it is tamped correctly.
I'm using Lavazza beans from coles (my beanbay order arrived today), freshly ground - but the taste is still slightly weak for a double shot. is this normal?
sorry if my post is a bit all over the place, i'm new to all of this so it's tough to articulate!
