hello everybody, i am struggeling for some months now to get really great coffee from my brewtus iv. the problem is simply explained, the coffee is always harsh to some extend.
while i was going through all the variables (beans, grind, dose, tamp, temperature, pressure) i did get my hands on a secondhand gaggia classic and the latter outperforms my brewtus with ease. that just cannot be! :( i've tried so many combinations, i might just have tried it all. i am starting to feel despair. maybe i just got a bad machine. but it's not like there is a malfunction that can be shown, i don't think i can return it to get a replacement with the argument 'the coffee tastes harsh'. the fact that i ordered the machine from france (i live in the netherlands) makes this more complicated. with all the experimenting, i can make it more harsh or less harsh, but never really perfect. with the gaggia, that's just simple, find the right dose and grind (check flowrate) and you're rewarded with a great cup. with the brewtus, a big financial investment plus months of struggling and no reward. it is in this despair that i am asking this forum for help. all the best, guido. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Brewtus" group.
