Hi Snobs!
I'm a new member but have been following along for about a month now. I've owned my 6910 for a while now and am still struggling to pull a decent shot. It just pours WAAY too quickly. I'm talking ~20s for 60mL. My grinder is a new breville smart grinder thats had a little over 1kg through it, it is set to its finest setting. I am using the supplied tamp and the supplied single wall baskets. There has been a few occasions I have achieved a nice pour but to do so I have had to massively overdose to the point it is a real struggle to fit the portafilter to the collar. Not good. As I believe the grind is fine enough (the finest setting), it isn't underdosed, I would think the other variables to look into would be the beans or the machine. I am currently buying packaged beans from the supermarket ( no point wasting good coffee if I can't get a good pour) and struggle to believe the beans from the supermarket would be of such poor quality to be causing my issue (could be wrong) so that leads me to consider the machine. What could be going wrong at this point?? really poor filter baskets? I don't know... poor technique.. I'm at a loss, can anyone please throw a few suggestions at me?
