Hi all,
Long time follower, first time poster on CS
Ive just bought a second hand Sunbeam machine and the box says its a EM 6910 but the booklet inside says EM6900... how do I tell the difference between the 2 models?
My father in law has one of these machines and Ive used it quite regularly but Ive noticed a few differences with mine. Firstly it has the old style nozzle with the flats on it. Secondly there is no WAY I can get the milk to foam up as nicely as my dad in laws.
I think there might be something wrong with the steaming operation?
The steam wand just seems to be full blast and very vicious ( for lack of a better term ) Now Im not sure if thats down to the nozzle or not. Also when I turn the steam off, it doesnt turn off straight away but actually takes a few seconds to shut off.
I just cant seem to have any control over producing microfoam.
Im pretty comfortable with my technique and am thinking the first thing I might need to do is reset the factory settings ( in case the previous owner set it up differently )
Also can someone please tell me how I can change the wetness settings? Perhaps this is an issue?
Thanks in advance
