I have the breville ikon grinder and espresso machine combo.
for the value.. i like it a lot.. the milk frothing is great... but my espresso is still quite inconsistent..
i have the unpressurized filter btw
so i just bought this new beans from a boutique roaster in san francisco. he recommended pulling a 25-30 sec double shot.. my usual routine usually produce a 23-25 second shot
so in the spirit to make it go slower.. i try going finer.. and tamp harder...
eventually i went from "espresso setting" all the way to turkish .. till I am at the absolute finest at the breville grinder setting.. and i try to tamp harder and harder..
but i am still getting the same 23-25 seconds shot..
what am i doing wrong???
