Re: Breville Fresca Espresso Machine BES860
Hi again all, I finally got my machine in today, very excited, BUT...
Using the single wall baskets, I find that the machine is grinding too fine and I keep over extracting. Even on the coarsest setting, the pressure gauge still flies overboard. Ive tried light/hard tamps with varying degrees of courseness, no matter what it only dribbles out after the pre-infusion, as a result I havent been able to get a decently timed pour. Could it be the blades are too fresh and havent been worn in yet? Is there some way that I can perhaps alter the blade distance and get a coarser grind?
Thank goodness Im only using some cheap Woolies beans to test at the moment, Ive chewed through nearly the whole bag and havent had a decent pour yet. :-/
