Hi everyone,
Great site and forum. Ive referred to it in the past before deciding on my first espresso machine setup and am quite happy with the choice.
I ended up getting a Gaggia Classic & Sunbeam EM0480 grinder. I was pretty tempted by the Rancillio Silvia and Rocky but found myself looking at better and better machines till I was over the $2500 mark!
The combo makes awesome coffee (my current coffee of choice is DiBella Felici) but cant get the shots to be long enough ie 30sec, and this is even with hard tamping & grinder on the finest setting most of the time).
Ive heard there is some kind of mod you can do with a thin plastic washer somehow but cant find any information. Was hoping someone here may be able to shed some light on it.
A mate mentioned he bypassed the safety interlock that stops it operating when the hopper is off - meaning it worked when it was off the scale.
Thanks,
