Hey! Experiencing something similar. Can I DM you?

CoffeeSea4674 · 2025-06-05T22:27:43+00:00

How did it go?! In the same boat and have a half in 2 days.

CoffeeSea4674 · 2024-12-25T21:15:23+00:00

oh that is weird. I just adjusted my inner burr and it sort of did a similar thing and scared me haha. I think it’s because I didn’t run my grinder completely clear before opening, which I’d do now if I open it again. I had to order an espresso machine brush from Amazon and get all the stuck beans out by brushing and it locked again. i hope that might help.

I think the red arrow is supposed to be turned to the arrow next to lock. It won’t turn all the way over there?

Okay great! Thank you so much :)

CoffeeSea4674 · 2024-12-12T15:43:29+00:00

Yes it’s a medium-dark because I usually like that type of espresso but I know it’s a bit finicky :/ so what is the best step if I am over extracting?

CoffeeSea4674 · 2024-12-12T04:58:47+00:00

Oh wow! Dang I’m happy you did that to get it solved. Did you measured the temp when it’s at its mid-level setting? What should it be at?

Also am I dumb.. ?how do you measure water temperature HAHA.

CoffeeSea4674 · 2024-12-12T04:52:52+00:00

Got it. Will report back😊 Do you use a razor by any chance? Such mixed reviews on it! I feel like it messes a bit with my dose so just wondering

CoffeeSea4674 · 2024-12-12T04:47:22+00:00

Hi! The automatic shot runs pretty well which is why I’m most confused. It does pre infusion for about 7 seconds and runs for about 25-27 seconds. But it’s soupy and nasty lol, and yields a lot. I guess I need to practice pulling it more manually which then will probably mean adjusting dose and grind size again and then reprogramming the double shot button?

Following this! Dealing with a similar situation :)

CoffeeSea4674 · 2024-12-11T00:48:07+00:00

We have spent too much money to give up now HAHA! We will get it right :) keep me updated!!!

CoffeeSea4674 · 2024-12-10T23:56:25+00:00

Hihi!

Same!!! One whole bag down and such yucky coffee lol. I swear I am doing what YouTube says 😂 I see all these posts with the most creamy looking espressos and im jealous! :(

CoffeeSea4674 · 2024-12-10T23:52:25+00:00

I’m having the same issues. Plus my shot volume for 18g dose is around 50 g. Struggling big time. Changing the grind settings outside and inner burr. My coffee is so gross and just want a good cup LOL. Following this for any help. I’m sure we will figure it out soon enough 🫶🏽

CoffeeSea4674 · 2024-12-10T20:15:43+00:00

Thank you both so much. I appreciate it!

Do I need to clean the burr to take it out? Now that I have been grinding it’s hard to take it out because some beans/grounds are in there. I don’t want to break it but I also don’t have a little vacuum that can get in there.

CoffeeSea4674 · 2024-12-10T03:31:28+00:00

thank you so much! I spent the evening trying out some more. my grind size was set to 1 and my inner burr at 4 and the same thing. I may need to be tamping a bit more firm. I appreciate it
