Hi, I am new here and just bought the Breville BES870 two weeks ago. I have been trying to make good espresso with good crema and also get a good latte art. I have following questions and hope to get guidance.
1. I have been reading thread that recommend using single wall basket 2 cups and 1 cup button to achieve 30ml espresso. I tried it but the extraction is around 10 to 15 seconds but in good pressure range. At the end, I can only achieve 15ml worth of espresso. May I know am I doing it right? If I use single wall basket 2 cups, should I press 1 cup button or 2 cups button? What is the correct way?
2. May I know why I can only achieve 15ml and 15 seconds extraction where I should get around 30ml espresso and 25 seconds extraction? What did I do wrong? I am using fresh bean.
Thanks.
