Re: My Sunbeam 3600 Blows...
I would contact Sunbeam again and advise them it is still blowing out. If it is still under warranty they may want to have a look at it.
I had am em4800C (Still do but not on the bench) and it use to blow out occasionally - I found I was tamping to hard or in one instance had to fine a grind.

My Sunbeam 3600 Blows...
Hi There,
Ive had this machine for several months now, and had fine tuned my technique ( thanks to the fellow snobs here) to get really great results. Then the seal blew. It looked like a mouse had nibbled half the outside lip.
Sunbeam sent out a replacement seal as it was still under warranty, but ever since I get one good shot, and then the next has a 80% chance of blowing past the seal! If I tamp lightly and grind coarse, its ok, but I get crap coffee of course.
I used to be able to choke the machine, but I never blew past the seal - its driving me crazy, and wasting lots of coffee!
The Pf doesnt feel like it winds up as tightly. Both now and before I generally move it all the way to the right.
I had modified my baskets to have less restriction, which gave me good coffee, and I presume would be lees likely to clog. Sunbeam sent me out their own coffee too, to make sure I had the right grind, but it was no better!
What else should I try?Tags: None
