Hi All,
My Krups died on me and looking around on the net, I saw that the Silvia Rancilio was head and shoulders above the rest of the home machines (well most anyhow, dont want to offend anyone in my ignorance) so I took a deep breath and shelled out the cash for one of these beauties and it has just arrived.
The thing is, my grinder is a Starbucks Barista (Solis 166), and I am hesitant to have to sheel out more clams for a new grinder as well. AAny chance of getting it to work half-way decently - I know it wont be ideal. Would the tweak to make it grind finer help? Maybe if I tamp extra hard? Any other tricks that might help?
Thanks,
Julio

) by rubbing some of the grounds in the palm of your hand and looking at the size of the pieces..... a good grinder you will have what appears to be grains of salt.... all the same size bits.
) coffee, just to have something to experiment with for now. No luck so far - I got a little bit of crema, but the shot ran through in just a few seconds, so I suppose its still not fine enough.
