Hi all, just joined.
We have a Saeco Via Venezia and recently bought a Sunbeam Espresso series grinder. Our previous being a (dare I say it) spice grinder. I immediately noticed an improvement in the coffee produced however we are no longer getting a nice dry puck after a shot. Instead there is water on the top and the grounds are like a watery mud.
Ive tried every setting on the grinder from 5 (finest) to 20 course and the portafiler is still filled with water after the shot. The Saeco seems to prefer the coursest settings only and anything under about 15 seems to jam up the Saeco and give really burnt tasting coffee.
Im wondering if anyone else has bought this grinder and had the same result? is this normal do you think?
ciao
Derek
