    Re: Breville Smart Grinder with EM6910

    I weigh the beans and use 21gm for a double. I grind about half and finger pressure tamp to make room then grind the balance. I tamp lightly but evenly (using the Demeral tamper).

    You should not level off with the EM6910 - that just reduces the amount of ground coffee in the basket. You need to keep all the ground coffee 8-)

    Shots are remarkably repeatable and good

      Thats what i experienced too if i tamped more than 3 kg after levelling off. It comes to 5-6 mm.
      I find this will result in a shot that blonds early.
      The key is to dose well and tamp evenly.
      Have a look at Scottie Callaghans barista competition vids. Even though he markets a set of dosing tools, he does not level off. Just dose, bang bang, dose, tamp, turn handle upside down and tap lightly on knockbox to ride of loose grounds.
      With some practise you dont even have to level off!
      3mm from top and a 2-3 kg tamp, evenly, will have you pulling shots that has flavour, no sourness or bitterness and does not blond early.

      The easy part is pulling the shot.
      The hard part is grinder setting and technique, but its not hard once a bit of time is undertaken to practise.

      How i wish now is to have a tripod for my camera so i can produce a video.
