I have just received my Brewtus II this afternoon. I read the 2005 manual, ground my coffee with the new Pasquini K2 doserless, and made 2 shots of espresso that really weren't too different than that which I produced with my Krups Il Caffe Duomo! I am wondering if anyone in the group has this grinder, and has found an optimal setting. Yes, I can experiment, but wasting my coffee beans is sooo painful for me.
The K2 came set at "11", but that setting didn't produce much crema at all, and the shots took 18 seconds to deliver about 3 oz. I changed it to 91/2 but didn't notice any appreciable difference. I recognize that tamping is an issue, but I thought I would tackle that next. I am short and sixty, so I am not sure I am getting enough leverage and strength to approach 30 pounds of pressure, though I gave it my best effort! My digital bathroom scales only measure "error" when I push on them. Thank you in advance for any suggestions... --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Brewtus" group.
