Hi,
Ive had an EM6910 for a couple of months, paired a couple of weeks ago
with a Rocky doserless grinder. Im generally happy with the combination, getting decent coffee and improving as I get more skilled.
I usually am making a single coffee at a time, using the standard single basket. Taking 7g as a standard single dose, the standard EM6910 basket has at least a double capacity and its standard double basket is more than a triple. Reducing the dose in the single basket is a bit hit and miss since it becomes too shallow around the perimeter; Ive not tried a single dose in the double basket but I suspect it may be a little shallow too. I am using the half-way decent tamper that comes with
the EM6910 - anything posher will have to wait a while!
So in the interests of getting through less coffee per cup I was thinking
of trying either:
- a synesso single basket - nominally 7g but can take up to 12g
as far as Ive read
- a synesso ridgeless double basket, nominally 14g but can take
up to 18g I think; yes I know this is still a double, but since
the standard EM6910 single takes that much I figured if the
machine really needs that much I could at least benefit from the
profile of a double basket in tamping and extraction
So does anyone have any experience of using those baskets
in the EM6910, or any other advice?
Thanks
Gavin
