    They can drop off pretty sharply sometimes, especially once opened. What's the roast date? (In YYMMDD below the expiry date on the side of the bag)

    I was going to make a joke about 'you aren't using Aldi coffee' ! Try 250 grams fresh from a local roaster, cheaper than getting someone to look at your grinder.

    You might just have an older bag

    About 1/3rd of the way through a bag. Wife really likes Aldi's Lazzio Medium Roast coffee beans. Same amount: 18g for 2 cups, with 50g poured (25g / cup).

    I'll try another bean to see if that makes a difference.

    Don't rule out the coffee. Has it changed, new bag, different blend, etc. Lower amount of coffee?

    So being that I haven't changed the grinder settings, and only tried changing them to finer today, after the issue appeared, this would suggest an issue with the grinder itself then?

    I would agree, finer grinding needed

    Many thanks, I don't know why I didn't think of that ?

    Pressure comes straight up to 9 bar. So that would indicate that the beans aren't being ground fine enough?

    started a topic Lelit PL042EMI pressure only reaches 4bar

    Lelit PL042EMI pressure only reaches 4bar

    It started happening today; the pressure only reaches 4 bar, instead of its usual 8 bar.

    I have tried adjusting the grind from the usual setting of 2.2 on the built-in grinder, all the way through to 5, with no effect.

    Suggestions please.
Working...
