Hi Team,
Well Ive been making reasonable flat whites. Texturing skim milk still leaves me cold, but therein probably lies the issue...........
I have a new problem with my 6910. Ive been playing a little with the grind of my beans, trying for a finer grind, stronger brew kind of stuff. Anyway its fairly particular Ive found. If I go to fine it simply refuses to "flow". Hitting the single cup button it makes all the right noises but I finish up with a 10 ml shot..............
Todays issue is REALLY annoying. I keep getting "coffee" pouring out from around the sides of the group handle. VERY messy, VERY annoying.................
Yes, I leave a 3 mm gap from the top, maybe more. Yes, I "think" Im locking the group handle in properly, its centre or even slightly R of centre. Yes, I clean the grounds from the top of the group handle before insertion. The machine is only a few months old, so SURELY my rubber seal cant be shot yet..............
Any thoughts? The one thing Ive never had checked is my tamping, and really have no idea if Im being too heavy handed. Is it possible to "over work" the group handle with a tight coffee grind mix?
TIA.
Cheers, darky......................

,.. however now,.. if I leave it centre it will leak a little and I now lock it quite far to the right. On the GH, where it says "secure firmly",..then a little black arrow,.. well I lock my PF in so that the left edge of my PF handle is dead in line with the tip of that black arrow. I bought mine mid Jan,.. and who knows.. most likely it sat in a box for some time before it reached me, and the seal has deteriorated. It says in the book the seals need changing every 12months so its possible that even though our machines are only a few months old to us,.. the seal is probably due for a change.
