Re: Just got the BCG800, have some grind/tamping questions
OK, after a minor medical emergency with my 1-year old boy, we all needed coffee this arvo.
The shim kit has certainly added a lot of graduation to its finer end. I might even take one of em out.
Its now about ten notches from the finest setting - basically where the display says espresso and its still coming close to choking the machine.
Lots and lots of fines and a bitter taste that makes me think its overextracted? Took about 30 secs to pull the shot and the first ten of those were barely drips.
