I think my Miss Silvia is, for lack of a better word, ... lopsided. Ive been noticing that the cup on the left usually contains significantly more coffee than the one on the right, and assumed that there must be something wrong with my leveling and tamping technique, which there was.
But now I think Im packing the grounds pretty level but still there is a difference, and it seemed fishy to me that it was always more coffee on the left side. So I just pulled a few blank shots in a row and sure enough, the cup on the left fills up more quickly than the one on the right. If I let the water run to the point where it just reaches the rim on the left, the right cup still has a few mm of space left. I switched from the LM double basket to the standard double, and it made no difference.
Is there something Im doing wrong here, or is my machine, sob, defective? [smiley=cry.gif]
Thanks,
Julio

its not working now) exactly the same, more from the left than the right, I just thought it may have been a common thing with Miss Silvia as Ive cleaned it, changed the screen etc and no change.
