Two things: Beans and Grinder
Beans: What beans are you using? When were they roasted? How long do you keep them? Grinder: What grinder do you have? Regards Neil A.

I have been happy with it except for the fact that I can't get a consistent crema when pulling a shot. I have gotten a burr grinder, measured out beans (14grams), timed the shot, tamped to the point of adding it to my daily workout, opened the machine to tighten bolts....offered to make sacrifices to the kona gods.... Could not get any real help from WLL..... I think that the water pressure coming out of the porta filter is too low. I have tried to change the pressure via that screw gauge behind the drainage tray but the crema level does not improve. Any advice on how to get the water to flow through the porta filter any slower? I want my crema! Thanks for your suggestions! AM --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Brewtus" group.
