    Re: Sticky Basket

    Good point about locking portafilter in tight to warm up and overnight, I will correct this bad habit immediately, thanks for the post Atsirab...we never stop learning on CS!!!
    Ive just bought a Synesso basket for Silvia and the spring is not strong enough, when I empty puck into knock box the basket falls out if I dont tap it properly!!!

    Thanks. Makes sense. I dont warm machine with PF locked in but I probably leave it locked in while it cools down. Ill pay some more attention to what I do when I get home.

    Makes sense also to save gasket by not leaving compressed overnight.
    Cheers

    Hi atsirib,

    Do you leave your PF (and basket) locked in the group head whilst the machine is hot (and no coffee in the basket)?....

    If you want to leave the handle in place (which is a good idea to keep it warm) have it just tight enough so that it doesnt fall out.... but not in the normal brewing position.

    If left in the normal brewing position the basket can mould into the gasket.... and be held by it! You will also have to replace your group gasket more often if you do this as it will lose its elasticity and not seal properly.

    Sticky Basket

    I have Silvia with standard filter basket and standard PF.  Every other morning when I pull PF from machine the basket remains attached to the GH.
    There doesnt seem to be any residual grinds causing the jamming.  Baskett comes away easily so it is more of a nuisance than a problem.  Machine is very new and I have a pretty good cleaning regime thanks to CS posts.

    Could PF spring be loose?  Could basket be out of spec? :-*
Working...
