Ive just bought a brand new ECM barrista machine. it looks glorious. As the title states though, the coffee made with this brand new machine tastes atrocious. The taste is extremely metallic, sour and bitter.
I am putting it down to it being new and all the metal fittings and boiler haven't been run in or seasoned etc.
Has anyone else experienced this from a new machine?
Btw, I'm running a low end sunbeam em0450 grinder. Of course I've made some nice coffee with this grinder before, using a gaggia classic. Yes, I need a new grinder, and I'm looking at a mazzer mini.
I'm trying to run as much water through it as possible.
Any thoughts?
