Currently I am finding that the majority of my pucks stick to the group. I am using the original rancilio double basket and regularly getting 25 second 60ml shots. At first the pucks only stuck if I measured 15 grams of coffee (i use a digital scale) but now they stick with 14 or even 13 grams. I have played around with the grind and tamp a bit but no joy.
The taste in the coffee hasnt changed since the pucks started regularly sticking (Ive had Silvia for three weeks) and the non sticking pucks only had a light indentation from the screw. I am aware the the rancilio baskets are fairly shallow, should I be looking at a deeper basket? Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
Edit: Silvia is second hand two years old
