Hi coffee experts,
I have been using a Sunbeam EM6910 machine and a Sunbeam EM0480 grinder for the past 11 years, getting inconsistent coffee, some days good while other days not so. Over a week ago, I got a new setup - Gaggia Classic Pro and Eureka Mignon Silenzio - from Coffee Parts, but I have only been producing consistently weak coffee. I usually only make one coffee for myself each time. I was using the same leftover Santos coffee bean from the previous Sunbeam setup, I felt the Sunbeam setup produced stronger coffee. I only use the single cup porter filter for my one drink. The coffee ground from Mignon Silenzio seems more consistently fluffy and less clumping than the EM0480, so I don't think the grinder is a problem. I have a new scale to weigh between 9g to 10g of coffee ground. The coffee coming out from the Gaggia seems diluted and not much crema. Now I have changed to a new bag of Campos beam, the coffee still behaves the same. I normally drink milked base coffee - latte, it doesn't taste as strong as those I made with my Sunbeam setup.
I am a bit lost as to how to diagnose my problem here. Is there any place where I can bring my Gaggia to demonstrate my coffee making routine, so someone can tell if I am doing anything wrong or is it a problem with the machine? Not sure Coffee Parts will do that kind of service, but I will have to give them a call next week. Quite disappointing experience so far.
