I just upgraded to a new Breville BES920 from my old Sunbeam EM4800C.
Now i have to actually learn to coffee to get the most of this machine.
Should I learn using the shot duration system set to 25sec with a 5 sec pre-infusion and adjust my grind/dose/tamp to get the required volume in that time,
OR
Would it be better to learn by using the shot volume setting and adjust the GDT to suit a decent extraction time?
Just asking for opinions on either as to what people are doing with their machines.
I ran out of beans last night as i bought the machine yesterday and only had about 100g left of 2.5 week old beans in the grinder hopper left. Used them up experimenting with GDT setup while using the shot duration method.
