Hi there,
Im a Newbie so please be gentle
I bought a Breville 860 and im having some troubles with it. Main issue is that the coffee shot is too weak. I put this down to the espresso shot.
From observation, it appears that only the first 10ml of the shot is the dark espresso. From there it goes to a caramelly brown from the remaining 20ml. This is apparently the "crema".
Surely the dark espresso shot should be more than 10ml? Ive tried changing the grind of the beans and that hasnt changed anything.
Ive tried going from a single cup to a double cup and that hasnt changed anything either.
Ive used 1 bag of beans from a gourmet coffee shop and 1 bag from a supermarket (victoria coffee). Doesnt make a difference which one I use, the espresso shot is only 5-10ml
Is this normal for this machine? Does anyone have any exprience with this maching doing this? Would anyone have any suggestions?
Can I post Videos on this site? If so Im happy to post if that helps?
Cheers
Simon
