Hi all,
Ive recently bought a used Classic and have a few questions regarding performance, etc
Since picking up the machine Ive noticed my PF dosnt have spouts like some of the others (it just has two holes) Ive seen and was wondering if it should and how this might effect the shots Im making?
I see people advertising bottomless PFs for this machine and would like to know why i should get one or convert mine?
Also does the bottomless use the standard basket?
Lastly Im using a Sunbeam 480 grinder(i think) and even with it on the finest setting and tamping as hard as i dare the shots arnt taking 20-30 secs with the double basket, however the shots taste good but lack crema.
With my old Breville a grind this fine stalled the pump.
The grinds look like sugar crystal size i guess, is this fine enough?
How is the crema from this machine in general?
So far Im reasonably happy with my purchase but feel there is room for improvement, Ive ordered a new 58mm tamper to get the ball rolling, i find the supplied plastic one useless in my big hands.
Hope someone can help.
Rob.
