I finally got to fix my machine yesterday, yay! I've been playing around with it with some interesting results.
When I bought it, I didn't know the grinder was on offer otherwise I would have got it too.
I've got 2 burr grinders. A Breville BCG450 and a (eye rolling) DeLonghi KG100 and both have been suitable for my basic machines.
I'm just after some opinions on which one to use and at what settings.
I pulled some shots yesterday that were slightly coarser and the shots were ok but I noticed that the pucks were a bit wet.
Using a finer grind I managed better shots but those pucks were soaked and the last 2 still had water on top of the puck.
I'm not sure whether it's the grind or the tamp or a mix of both. I'm using the single double walled basket.
Any advice/opinions/links to other threads appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Ta, PJ. 😊
PS. as with a few other CS'rs, my funds are limited so I have to use available equipment. [emoji30] Nooooo!
