    Re: slowly losing hope - diffcult Gaggia Classic

    Gday again,

    so the new burr set arrived and it works!!!! changing the burrs had quite an impact on the quality of the grind. I choked my Classis on the setting of "1" so hard that nothing appeared for at least 15s now Im working on the setting of 2.5 and it gives nice dripping, slow ristretto-like extractions.

    Everything seems to be working perfect now, the grinder has new burrs, the machine is set to 9.5bars, my scratchbuild steam wand works perfect and I even managed to draw two rosettas on my morning cappa Looks like God has finally forgiven me and decided to give me another chance

    Thanks for all the tips and support,
    Cheers,
    dsc.

      Alls well that ends well.

      I would have said that with a comparitively new grinder, the problem had all the hallmarks of stale beans. And I would have been wrong.

          Gday,

          thanks guys shouldve seen the stupid grin on my face when I choked the machine for the first time with the new burr set installed in the grinder.

          Its been a while since it all went bad, but as Robusto said all is well that ends well. Definitely worth the wait

          Cheers,

                Its not - I tried and got a dreadful recording so I will haveto talk OG or the kid into letting me try their cameras as they are a bit newer then mine.

                Will get to it as soon as I can.
