  • Grind not fine enough

    Some of you may not have caught the advice for my substandard EM430 problem (Til I get my 480) on another forum. It is a gem. I ground a second grind in my mortar and pestle for just a few minutes after the substandard 430 grind. Thanks Andy-Gadget. Coffee pour pressure perfect. Resulting taste better than perfect. ;D

    Thanks I cant grind finer but I was going to next fiddle with quantity and tamping. But I was going to try both ways less and more so thank you for steering me in the right direction first. I just have to wait for my birthday for the 480. I have talked about nothing else since joining coffeesnobs.
    I know its simple but try it until the new grinder comes home
    Use a mortar and pestle after grinding in the EM430 to make it finer

    Its a thousands of years old method that still works

          OK, so now we know the 430 wont grind fine enough for your machine.

          I recommend you call Sunbeam and ask them what to do. (Their more expensive grinders--the 450 and 480 -- have standard modifications to fix this problem.)

            Err I think the EM0430 is a bit below what some may think..

            Even on the Sunbeam product page they only recommend it for the:
            Café Espresso™ - EM3600
            Café Latte™ - EM5600
            Intuitive™ Digital - EM8910

            Thus it may suite teh EM6910 but only if your using pressurised baskets..

              Little section in the Victorian Consumer affairs Victoria act  :

              A guarantee policy is something you give to your customers to promote good relations, but whether you are a manufacturer, retailer or repairer you have certain obligations when setting warranty conditions.

              Ensure that the product:

                 * is suitable for the purpose for which it is sold
                 * is not faulty
                 * performs to an appropriate standard, and
                 * achieves the requested result when you carry out the service.


              Basically if it cant or wont do the job which is grind beans for Espresso then they owe you !

                Hi AM,

                On the Sunbeam site I get on my computer the 0430 *is* recommended for the 6910, so Id definitely be taking the issue up with Sunbeam.

                  Bloody marketing... Every refresh gives different results ;D (Ya got me Greg)

                  However I would still say that the retailer etc would say - "Use the pressurised baskets.. "

                  I mean at $89 it is less than a KG100 and even that will not do a EM6910 after modifications if using un-pressurised baskets..

                  An on page 8 of the EM0480 it indicates the finest settings for "Fully Automatic Coffee Centres"

                  So while we may have issues with marketing and Sunbeam; has any one bothered to see what the others say as to their blade grinders.. Yep suitable for espresso machines..

                  Lets not support IDIOCRACY and bring some common sense back to the fold.

                  1: An EM0450 or Em0480 is the base grinder for an EM6910 if using un-pressurised baskets..

                  2: Any lower end grinder will not work regardless of marketing and spin doctors... "if using un-pressurised baskets"

                  3: If using pressurised baskets any old grinder will do.

                    Sorry AM, I wasnt really out to get you. ;D

                    Im just hoping that if MAM decides to take it up with Sunbeam shell get a solution or maybe a boost up to a (probably) suitable 0480.
