Not sure which forum to post this. I've been using Breville Romas for over 15 years .....pretty happy with it ..sometimes my FW is weaker than others but always ok. ..machine died...upgraded to Breville Duo TEmp.
grinder is sunbeam em0480 which I've had for 4-5 years .
I'm getting weak crema and bitter coffee almost every time . ... Was lucky to get a free 1.25 kg of beans....so I've been happy to throw beans away as I experiment...but after 3 weeks I'm really not getting it sussed.
The problem is I never know when I get a bitter coffee if the problem is the grind...or tamping too hard ....or the amount of coffee used. what should I look for ? if coffee pours too quickly for example is that too loose a grind or not enough tamp ? ....if there is too long a gap ( 10-12 secs) before coffee starts pouring after pressing button is that tamp or grind. Any tips advice etc would be great
