Hi, I am rider and I have never pulled a shot before. I have in mind a business that involves coffee so I have endeavored to learn whether I could do the coffee side of things and whether I enjoy it. I did some research and found out about burr grinders and why they are necessary and then found out what the grinders cost! I have now purchased a used Bezzera 2 group ex-commercial 3000 MP with a Bezzera grinder and have just fired up the espresso machine. I have 3 of the portafilters, with 2 different sized coffee holders and a blind. The steamer seems to work as does running straight water or using the blind to flush.
It is an auto job, with a control panel for each group. That works strange though, as it has 5 options left to right, being:
- 1/2 cup single - works ok, runs for a while and turns off
- 1/2 cup single * 2 - press button and machine pulses on for half a second then off
- full cup single - works - runs for longer than 1/2 cup single (which must be good)
- full cup * 2 - does the pulse thing
- * key - press once to start pump running and once to turn off
Is there some way of operating this that I dont understand? I have some supermarket beans on the way and cant wait to grind them and try making a cap. The excitement!
Thanks for your help.
