) ::runs to CM and makes a one step adjustment in the only direction it will go,..and hoping it will be coarser, not finer:: And if I got coarser,..Im going to have to increase tamp pressure hugely I think,..if I am to reach the redline again. Not sure if my girlie wrist will be up to the challenge tho. Will find out in the morning.
and was shocked that I did it again
. I think I just got over zealous with my packing and tamping,.. I fiddled with it too much and the grounds were close to the top..making quite tight to lock in on the GH. I thought at the time,.. I should have pulled it back off and scraped some out but I was too lazy and the choke was the result.
and there was no surging going on. It seems like the surges happen when the machine is choking/labouring but is still able to release a little extraction. Id really love to test this theory somehow.
When tamped, it sits a good 5mm under the top rim. Ive tried to put more in but it just doesnt work on my machine! Ive had the puck sticking to the screen, choking, surging etc if i try. Maybe the newer machines have a smaller basket? Anyone else having to put less rather than more coffee in, or am I doing something wrong?
You need to use the scoop,.. and you measure the amount of grind with the scoop provided.
