Gday all
Im looking for a bit of help with my Silvia. To do that Ill describe my process for making espresso:
I weigh 19.2g (or there abouts!) of coffee (currently Di Bartoli Signature blend) and then grind it on setting 3 of my Rocky.
I then weigh it to make sure there are no beans left in the grinder and then remove the clumps. I then put all of this into my Synesso double basket and tamp all of it inside my basket. I use an Espro tamper so there is no difference with my tamp.
Once I have tamped I chuck it on the machine and start my PID (from the other provider with pre-infusion). From this I get 60 - 80ml of espresso with early blonding, but generally good colour.
I then leave the portafilter in the machine whilst I froth milk and when I remove it the puck is always wet (but it has the dimple mark from the screw).
What I am worried about is that I am grinding at far too fine a level and I am using too much coffee per double. Is it possible my machines pressure is set too high?
Any help or tips would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers
James
