    Thats your problem right there

    As you guessed, the beans are stale before you even open the bag. Track down some freshly roasted beans and youll never look back! If you cant find a local roaster, you can mail order roasted beans from Coffee Snobs, Veneziano, Cuppacoffee, Obscura and a whole host of other site sponsors listed over on the left

    I go through my beans very quickly and get them a Gloria Jeans. Not sure how fresh they are when I buy them though. Will experiment with different grinds and see what happens

    How old are your beans? Anything over 4 weeks or so and you will struggle.
    How fast is the pour coming out? If you are getting more than 60ml (from a double) in 30 seconds, then your grind needs to be finer.
    But, freshness of the beans is the most important factor. If they are supermarket beans, theyre stale.

    Krups basket for Breville 800 Machine

    I recently bought a Breville 800 Series Espresso machine and compared with my old Mezzo have been less than happy with the results. I read on the forums here that a non-pressurised krups basket improves the espresso quality but with the new basket (part#0907163) i am having trouble getting any extraction at all with the resulting shot being virtually flavourless and colourless. Is this basket not suitable or am I doing something wrong? I have a Sunbeam EMO480 conical burr grinder so have a wide range of grind options. Currently using grind option 12. I would appreciate any help.
Working...
