Hi,
Just showing off my new coffee machine!
Ive stripped and cleaned, and put in a new set of gaskets etc from orphan espresso. the design of these is so basic - you sort of feel like there should be more to it!
Just made my first three shots - each full basket of 12gms. 1st very fast and sour, second finer grind (about where espresso machine needs) still sour, 3rd was at least drinkable with grind finer than I have ever used before. It took about 20 seconds to rise, but the crema was still quite pale, expecially so at the end. Id say about the first 3 seconds looked good, and the rest no so good.
Great fun, and a lot for me to learn!
