    Great reading. I have been using an EM 6910 and EM 7000 with an EM 480 grinder. Usually with great taste results.
    However, I decided to give away an EM 5600 and 4800c, so decided to make a coffee with them.
    Found I had lost my touch and made bitter coffee.

    Went down to 13gms in the basket and the pour was too fast, but the taste was ok.

    Previously at 14.5/15.00gm it was bitter, and the grind has to be coarser than the grind I use on the 7000.

    Comments welcome.
    Maybe I will have to go back the early "excellent reply post" and relearn the basics.
    I need to, I have a 4820 in my campervan, with a 440 grinder.
    And I can't stand bitter coffee!
