Re: EM6910 help
Hi all
I have only had one coffee today as i have been out and about plus feeling a little queazy
but, I did put some of your suggestions into place with my coffee this morning.
This was very helpful as a guide. I ended up using the timed one shot twice, with two and then three clicks on the fine adjustment setting. I did a tap in between shots, as suggested.
Also, I levelled off with a knife. Previously, I was trying to use my finger and it was resulting in uneven mounds. Using the knife ensured a much more even distribution of the grinds.
I actually had a stuck puck both today and in the shots from yesterday. When I went to knock the puck out of the filter basket, this morning the majority came out quite easily, but the rest i had to dig out with a spoon.
Some things regarding this mornings coffee
- it took a while to start the pour. Im not sure how long because I didnt time it, but im sure it was longer than it should have been
- the coffee was week and somewhat bland but sour/bitter
I realised yesterdays shot tasted way better, because I hit the SINGLE shot button by mistake (which i didnt realise until this morning!). So maybe thats why the puck was funny yesterday?
I guess its all about finding the right way of doing things and sticking to them and then modifying until you get the right balance of everything?
Heres a pic of todays puck.
