Hi,
As a new owner of the Office Leva 2 (twin boiler, PID,EB-61) and Compak K3 grinder I am getting better coffe than ever I did with my old Sunbeam dual boiler machine.
But.........I can't seem to get a really full bodied brew - just seems "weak" I prefer a flat white as my regular fix.
Firstly I have read everything I can on this forum and watched videos of dosing, tamping and grinding and this "seems" ok.
Beans. I am using fresh Fiefy blend from Coffeesnobs - only blended this week - do they need to mature longer?
Searching the Forum I found a review of this machine (sometimes called barista minore) with the following comment:
":Notes: Spanish built. eb-61 shower screen is lower than that of e-61 in Giotto, Diadema etc. These machines typically ship at 12+ bar pump pressure and require adjustment. Build quality is not as good as the Italian machines. I have found that a full bench test and comprehensive check is advisable. "
Is and adjustment - presumable upwards - likely to be part of the problem and if so how is this done? - nothing in the very poor instruction manual about this.
Any help greatly appreciated.
