    Oh, Ive ODd on the gorgeous bean!

    My shots are liquid gold An unforseen side-effect is now, as I drink the fruit of the bean, only minutes after its ground, my palette is even more sensitive than it used to be. I really cannot stand to drink "regular" coffee at work.

    Hmmm think its time for another cuppa.

    Youll be very pleased Im sure  

    Maybe a little patience as you experiment with dose, grind and tamp, but you will get there.

    Have a great weekend

    Did some cleaning with some Cleancaf, got some nice brown gunk out of the machine, changed out the screen, ran several reservoirs of water through, I think this will make a difference.

    I didnt realize, when I bought it, that Cleancaf was more of a annual type of cleaner, so Ill purchase a more general cleaner to drop into my portafilter later.

    My Rocky hasnt arrived yet, but it should be here Friday. Thats what I"m very excited about!

    agree completely with the posts above, had a silvia and rocky (doseless) combo now for almost five years and been very happy with the results. also agree with the back flushing, i do it with water once a day (min) and do a chemical back flush once a month.

    +1 here on the Rocky. Mine is and I reckon its good enough for your next espresso machine upgrade.
