Hi All,
Have been off the board for a while but now back on deck with a query regarding Sunbeam EM0480 (paired with the EM6900).
Problem is simple - I have to use grind setting 4 or less to get the EM6900 to pull a shot in the "black" and with proper texture, flow rate, etc.
I started with grind setting 8 and that was pretty darn good but now I need to go finer and finer.
Yep, I cleaned the grinder out really well. Yep, I tested to make sure the grind settings do as they should, i.e. setting 1 being powder and 24 being chunks.
Either my EM6900 has been using steroids without telling me and simply blasts through anything I give it, or the gauge is way off.
As far as taste is concerned, yep, it needs setting 4 so the gauge would *seem* to be OK. The previously used setting 8 gives me lolly water.
I have recently completed the Sunbeam appreciation course and the equipment there needed grind setting 16 to 18 or the machines went into the RED !
Am totally stumped and hope things dont keep changing otherwise to get the right pour I will be using the turkish setting and well lets just say I would rather not...
Any suggestions?

- if it is still a problem - then Option 2 is the go.
