Hey all, looking for some help diagnosing channeling on my new Ceado E37S.
I'm upgrading from a Baratza Sette 270Wi (fantastic grinder but failed 3 times in 3 years on ~10-15 shots per day). I've run 2-3lbs of coffee through the E37S, and while the shots are starting to taste...
Hi all,
I'm new to making espresso and am working on dialing in my equipment and learning the process. My current recipe is 17g in, 33g out in 29sec. I'm able to repeat that +/- 4g with the same timing. The taste is drinkable but not great (a touch sour). Beans are WLL Crema...
I've been seeing some aftermarket companies selling diffuser screens. These are the ones that you place on top of your puck in the portafiler. So once you WDT, level, tamp, etc...then you place the screen on top. They report better water transfer through the puck to increase...
My shots seem to take less time than I would expect. Currently a standard double basket with 18g of coffee, ground up at almost the finest setting that my grinder offers, takes only 15sec or so to produce about 60ml of espresso. It's slightly bitter to me, but I'm not a tasting...
I recently got a Breville Dual Boiler and have had challenges so far with pulling a good shot.
I have been using the Bambino Plus (paired with the Eureka Mignon Silenzio Grinder) for about three years now, and finally upgraded my machine since I have a large kitchen that can...
I'm using a Linea Mini, and I modified it for lower flow and lower pressure (pushing about 7.5 bars). I spray my puck with a bit of water to distribute first drops of water a little better. (as seen in the decent espresso video). I also use a bplus filter.
I've been looking into changing the steam tip on my ECM in order to get more steam flow. I found alternate tips with 3, 4, and 5 holes. People say that the 4 and 5 hole tips allow too much steam and are difficult to control and heats the milk too quickly . Okay, but can't the...
I have been using the Quick Mill Silvano with the Baratze Sette 270 for three years .I use a bottomless portafilter with an IMS Compatizione basket. I grind 18 g and pour 36 g espresso. Typically, it takes approximately eight seconds for the first drops to appear, and complete...
Both of my E61 machines with Flow Control devices have their overpressure (aka bypass) valves set to 10 bar by their respective dealers. Both dealers say they do this to achieve a brew pressure of 9 bar. However, I can see on both machine's group pressure gauges that the brew...
New here, new to levers (with an EPC-8 + Mignon Notte). Geek by trade. Dialled in one coffee blend. Trying to dial in the second one and... Isn't there a table somewhere listing equipment, settings, ratios and coffees?
