As few people know I have done some repair and maintain works on my preloved ECM Giotto Premium.
Descaling, cleaning, replace some parts.
Everything works fine now (I assume).
In the past four days, I have tried so many shot to try to find the best coefficient (or control factors) to make the good shot.
However, my friend and I have been drinking a lot of espresso, long black and cappuccino (4-5 double shot per day), I still can not feel its the right one. (I even throw first few since it is wrong by looking).
This morning, I start to use EM6910 again just because I brought the Giotto back home now.
Then the shot by EM6910 is beautiful~
And forth milk just correct.
I am not a experience home barista, I only use few different machine and I only have/had EM6910 & GEE (dead Ikon).
But I just dont know what happen to the Giotto.
I feel the steam is much stronger in Giotto, I still need to practise.
I have adjust the themostat(pressuestat) in Giotto with a thermometer.
I end up choosing boiler pressure is around 0.9 to 1 (default is around 1.1).
brewing water temp is 94-96.
I did not leave the coffee on the group head, only put it on before I brew it.
(the very first time, I left coffee on E61 for 30sec. then the coffee get burn).
I use KJM and Mocha-Java blend and PNG SO so far.
Naked PF (Giottos) + VST basket.
I attached some photos, hope people can give me some hint and tips (I have read some post)
Cheers
Colin
