    Re: Isomac Tea or Millenium

    No the click clack lid wont solve this as even though the top is sealed it is still open at the bottom (through the blades out the shoot). The lid is their to pump air through the grinder to get fluffier grinds a to clean the shoot.

    It is possible your coffee was too fresh, was it really bubbly coming out of the spouts, and is now sufficiently rested. Too much crema (ie too fresh a coffee) can be a bad thing.

      I disagree to a large extent... The click clack lid allows you to place in hopper the beans you need... Then at the end, while the unit is still running you pump the lid... This flushes out the coffee grinds and you have what you need.

      No longer is 4 or 6 or 9g of stale beans in the grinder... Over night or during any period of non use, just waiting for your first shot..


      If you go and put 100g in your hopper, and just want to pull a shot and thus grind and pump; this will clear teh grinder of some of the grinds... But does not keep you Beans in the hopper fresh for any extended time, and still allows some grinds to go off.....

              When I had a single boiler dual purpose (like a Silvia) machine--a La San Marco, I had it serviced twice in just on 20 years. The boiler looked like new when the group head finally wore out and no parts were available.

              BTW--this is not a recommendation. However these machines are TOUGH.
