Hello everyone,
Your expert opinions would be greatly appreciated. Here's the issue.
I recently bought the Gaggia Classic along with a Porlex grinder from a fantastic supplier in Melbourne. The end result was always no flow, regardless of grind adjustment, freshness of coffee beans, tamping, unless a very coarse grind was produced, which in turn made it almost impossible to turn the handle and/or get any decent extraction. I took it to the shop to get it looked at, and crikey, the same thing beset us, despite our numerous futile attempts to adjust the grind.
We decided to put it to the test with their grinder: immediate results, even if the first few settings were out just a bit, until we found the best setting.
I have replicated every detail - particularly the fineness of the grind - according to what was demonstrated to me, with my own attempt under their supervision. Once home I tried to make myself a coffee. The result - nothing. Just as before.
Logically there is something going on with the grinder. Has anyone experienced (or heard of) this frustrating and perplexing occurrence?
Many thanks in advance.
Giovanni
