    Re: Whats the Rancilio S series like?

    Hey Amberosw,

    Im no barista but it looks to me as though you have a couple of issues
    1. Grind may be too coarse. I use about 7-8 on my Rocky. But depends where your zero point ends up.
    2. Too much tamp pressure. I presume you are tyring too offset fast extraction. It looks like you were really putting some serious weight behind the tamper.
    3. Over filling of the PF basket. I use pretty much the same method as your video but I dont need to use my right hand to steady the machine. Also my group handle goes past the straight agead point to about 5 oclock (looking from o top of the machine) It may be that the finer grind settles in the PF basket better.

    Good luck

      Hey, Amberosw

      Your grind is way out. You must go much finer.
      You tamp too hard. You need only 12-14 kg force on the tamper. Get a bathroom scale out or buy an Espro tamper like I did from
      Di Bartolis.
      You also seem to fill the basket up too much.

      You need to get the above right so that you get around 30 mls in 25-30 secs.



      On another note, which has nothing to do with the flow of the golden syrup, you need to get the temp surfing right too once you got the handle on the above. There are plenty of info on this forum on how to do that.
