Hey all,
I picked up a second hand Isomac Professionale a while back on a whim, but when trialing it with my home machine, the grind couldn't seem to get fine enough for espresso. It has the stepped adjustments, and when I tried to turn it towards the finer end of the scale, I could feel strong resistance, and assumed this might have been the burrs getting pretty close. But even then, after making it as fine as the adjustment collar would allow without "pushing the issue", it was still too coarse.
I'm thinking either this grinder isn't really capable of fine enough grind for espresso, OR it just needs a fresh set of burrs (although not sure it'd be worthwhile sinking the $!)
I may end up keeping it as a spare for other brew methods, but was curious as to people's experience with this grinder, and whether it should be capable of a finer grind?
Cheers,
Damo
