  • Re: New Sunbeam Espresso Machine!

    Gotta say, my PF stays in the machine. Ive taken out the springs and just drop the filter basket in, lock and brew...

    Dosing and tamping in the filter basket is easy and you dont have to rush before your PF cools down too much.

    My tamper is also just a 58.3 mm brass puck weighing 0.75 kg. No handle. The whole filter basket, tamper fits into my hand and I use my hand to squeeze it down. Maybe not 30 lbs force, but it sure is consistent. A final twist leaves a nicely tamped and polished puck ready for brewing.

      Ive just brought home the pf baskets from our commercial espresso machine from the shop to try it in the Sunbeam EM6900, and they fit perfectly.  [smiley=thumbsup.gif]
      I was wrong.  :-[ It seemed to fit perfectly until I tried making an espresso.  The lip of the basket underneath is ever so slightly too narrow on the commercial basket compared to the Sunbeam original one, so it doesnt sit completely air-tight on the rim of the pf.   The difference is so small.  Damn!  Need to find a different one.  
      The size of the basket is perfect, though.
