Well... What can I say...
;D
[smiley=tekst-toppie.gif] :-*
1: First 4 coffees went straight into the bin
Yep... This little machine is not an EM6910
My problem was to get out of what was / had been the norm and re learn all over again. Thanks for the beans Attilio, as I must have been through 300g so far just trying to get it working as I want..
A: Have found that I need to re check and train myself as the the dosing level
B: Had to make my grind courser (4 clicks on teh rocky)
C: Tamp with a little more force than I used with the SB...
A re learning of what the machine likes / needs Vs what I expect to see and taste.
As time goes on, I am sure that I will redefine my tastes and how I prepare the raw product..
I also love the fact that;
A: A few screws and she is open for inspection
B: Warms up reasonable quickly
C: Steaming and making a coffee at the same time is able to be done
D: The steam is a vast improvement (over the SB), but not so out there; that it only took a couple of trys and micro foam is available.
And to top it all off, she looks at home and has that traditional Italian look and feel..... My wife is going to hate me 8-)
Mods to date:
1: Wodden group handle fitted
2: Naked is in progress
3: Green Indicator to be replaced with a Blue one (on order)
4: Looking for old steam knob to get the brass insert out, so that I can make up a wooden one to match.
5: Thinking about changing the colour of the power rocker switch...
Now... Must go and make ... Have a go, at making another coffee ;D
NOTE: A big thanks to Attilio and CosmoreX Coffee for putting up with me, while managing any number of their own issues re. moving etc.
Pics will follow later.
