Good morning CSs
Yesterday I invested in an M4 Micrometric and Silvia combination.
Firstly, thanks to Michael and Hugh at Cosmorex for there patience and clear advice!
I know there is a massive amount of info on both these machines here and elsewhere but hoping for a response about a particular issue.
Last night after about 750 grams of beans (thanks Hugh you were right) I felt I had the grind in the sweet spot i.e. 25-27 sec/ 30ml/ good colour (my first tiger mottle!) and crema/ sweet ,rich,smoky taste. So about 3 am I am trying to sleep feeling pretty pleased with myself.
This morning (with no grind adjustment) 4 choked shots in a row followed by an over extracted set of drips!
After making the grind more coarse I was back to being close to last nights quality, not quite though.
Would over dosing cause this as it is the only variable I can think of apart from the Silvia being cooler than last night although I did give it a good warm up? Temperature surfing the Silvia on both occasions as well. (or maybe a spy from Mazzer broke in and adjusted my grind)
Thanks
