Hi all
Im in desperate need of help. Recently purchased the em6910 and am completely demoralized now after having a go at the machine. I dont have fresh beans with me now and as such have resorted to using whats left of my pre ground beans before buying freshly roasted ones. Ok so the 6910 came with two types of portafilers; one for freshly ground and one for supermarket stuff. I used the supermarket stuff one (double basket) because Im using my pre ground beans. Shockingly, when the pour started flowing, it spurted water out as well as the espresso. Now..I tried several ways, first to fill and tamp up to the line on the basket (which Im assuming I should follow) and the other time just to little bit of powder and under the line. The second attempt produced better flow with no spurts of water. Can anyone pleaseee tell me why is that happening?
