Hello All,
Long time reader, first time poster. In fact this site lead me to the very combo I have today, and picked them up from a sponsor
I do apologise if this is the wrong forums.
I have just upgraded to the above combo a week ago. I have run into a wall.
I no matter what I do I am dragging out under-extracted shots. Running the Compak K3 Touch at its finest settings I am getting a 15ish second shot (well 2x30ml using double basket).
I am tamping to 15kg (have the bathroom scales out, as I am trying to rule that out). dropping between 14-16g of freshly ground in the basket.
The common understanding is to go finer to lengthen the shot time, but she doesnt go much finer
If I tighten it more I get a slight sound out of the K3T which leads me to believe the burs a close to touching (and much further I cannot move it any further - when empty)
A little lost to my problem at the moment and would welcome any suggestions or ideas to try
Cheers
Jason
