I was watching ECAs VBM DS (thats coffee speak ;D) instructional videos this morning with Scottie Callaghan. Im so impressed that a supplier has gone through the trouble of producing them. Says a lot for ECA service.
Anyways...just wondering if the HX model has a different showerscreen (higher) than the Piccolo? I think if I packed that much coffee into my filter basket I would never be able to lock it in the group. Actually have run into this problem quite a few times in the past.
Since I started using the new K-3 grinder I find that many times I end up with a small amount of water sitting on top of the coffee puck when extraction is finished. I still have the small indentation at the center of the puck where it has gently pushed up against the screen; the puck still pops out whole and I can snap it in half but I never had the small pool before. Suggestions?
