Re: Unico Splendor queries
Just going back to your question about the P/Stat setting....
I wouldnt go fooling around with that at all mate as Im certain that Attilio bench tests every machine before despatch, to make certain that everything performs as its designed to do. Talk to Attilio before changing any of the hardware setup as its possible that you may void your warranty if some kind of mishap occurs.... :-?
Cheers,

. Once more familiar (and successful), I may or may not fine tune with a better fitting tamper.
The collective information has revealed subtle changes here, subtle changes there and throughout it all is a fair bit of complexity. After all, its just coffee, there has to be a simpler, more pragmatic approach. Yes, I had marginal successes with recommended approaches and while the weighing coffee approach did work not too badly, I really cringe at having to so each time. The science of these methods is outweighing the art, and for me, it was causing frustration and killing the fun.
He initially confirmed one issue I was having; the single pf. That, it is a lot harder to produce a shot with that compared to the double pf. So he basically made a start with the double pf, filled it up so there was a marginal peak above the pf, tamped with approx 15kgs of pressure and the resulting level was effectively on the appropriate ridge. Whacked it in and the resulting coffee was terrific. It looked good, flowed well and time of pour was good. It was fast, simple and most of all it worked. There was no fuss to the minor grinds that climbed the pf walls, no wastage of coffee, no double tapping etc.
