    Re: EM480 static and channeling

    OK. this evening I made three espressos (on same beans)

    First attempt, too quick, too course (grinded on 12)..
    2nd attempt, bloody awesome and perfect, (grinded on 8). consumed.... yum, lovely crema, tasty coffee!
    3rd attempt, exactly the same as attempt 2, added milk to this one, yum x2

    Sorry to those that say "you should be grinding on 12-15" or whatever.. I guess its not the case with my grinder (brand new EM0480). It extracts super fast on a courser grind setting, the pullometer hardly even rates... both of attempt 2 and 3 pulled at over 12oclock on the pullometer delish.

    the above attempts were with the single-cup basket. I might try again with the bigger basket to see if I can get a longer extraction and even more goodness

    got my dose technique down too, all good!

      Thats what the manual says IIRC.

      Not all 0480s grind identically on the same number.

      The numbers on your grinder are relative positions for you from one grind to the next.

      A lot of the "you should be grinding on 12-15" is said as a starting point.
      I know it is when I say it.

        Single PF Vs Double shot will require a change in grind and tamp..
