Hi all, this is my first post.
Based predominantly on the information on this site and other coffee sites I decided to upgrade my machine to the Silvia (which I brought home yesterday). My initial impression was that it is a great unit visually and she looks like she wants to produce great shots, but I am struggling.
My previous machine made smooth, syrupy shots with great crema but was starting to deteriorate. The majority of shots from Silvia do date are watery and very bitter. The beans I have been using are fresh (1-2 weeks) and ground by the distributor to there opinion of a good ground.
I would appreciate any tips.
