Hi guys,
My first post on here, but Ive been floating around for a while. I bought a gaggia baby d around 6 months ago, and the coffee is quite good (better than the previous cheapo sunbeam).
Now Im finding that the coffee comes out very watery, and only takes about 3-5 seconds before you get that blondy stream of coffee/water. There is also barely any crema.
Now, I understand this is most likely due to the coffee/grind I am using? I do tamp the coffee with the standard plastic tamper. We have tried pre-ground gloria jeans coffee AND pre-ground supermarket coffees and it produces the same effect. We have also ground coffee at home, with a cheap grinder, but the effect is the same. The coffee comes out watery.
What should I do, to get that crema so many of you talk about?
Cheers
Tommy
PS - Merry Xmas and a great new year to you all!
