Re: Sunbeam EM6910 - Leaking problem / froth quest
To make sure I can join in with my question I repost original message and hope I am not in trouble :_)
Hi, I just bought an EM6910 and have had all sorts of trouble and reading the posts on this site I see I am not alone. I have the leaking seal sometimes even if underdosing and the problems with the mik frothing.
The milk has improved with changing the settings as mentioned in "frothing milk and bubbles" section but I am still getting leaks around the seal now and again.
I want to be able to use the single floor basket but I cannot get any crema and the guage sits at about 8 oclock. I have tried very fine "Turkish" grind setting and espresso fine with no difference in results. When I use the double floor basket, the guage shows at about 2 oclock with or without coffee!
Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong or is it likely to be a dud machine?
OBTW Im in NZ and a Newbie.....so dont hold it against me

) would be to pull a few more shots following the advice others have already given and see if the situation improves. If not, call Sunbeam! Oh, and let the machine warm up with the PF in loosely for at least 15 minutes - this seems to soften the GH seal a bit.
