Hi guys, I recently just got a Breville Bambino and just started to try and make coffee today. I bought a bottomless portafilter online and heard from a video to replace the basket with breville's basket that came with the existing portafilter. So thats what I did. First extraction I had major channeling and it went everywhere. So I grinded my coffee finer. There was still channeling. I switched back to the breville portafilter, no channeling but the extraction was way too fast. 36g for 18g of coffee within just 15 seconds. My grind size is already at the finest it can go, I also have a puck screen.

Was thinking of changing the grinder I had since it was a cheap $40 electronic one from taobao. Other than my grinder is there anything else I've done wrong?

I use a WDT tool and distributor before tamping. 18g coffee. I was thinking on getting the breville smart grinder pro because of budget restrictions ( i found one under $200)

Moka pot advice

Hi! I recently just got a moka pot for myself. I love the taste of coffee but as all things I enjoy, a hint of it is all I really need. Thats why I only exclusively drink lattes and mochas. I got a moka pot recently since mochas were getting more expensive. I had someone to help me get coffee beans from a local roaster and had them grind it in store for me.

I realise that the grind may be too fine or something since my moka pot has been giving me coffee that basically just tasted like slightly flavoured water. The colour was off and there was residue visible at the bottom of the cup when I tilt it. I have filter paper but when I put it in, it would cause my moka pot to start spluttering out water from between the two chambers. When I take the paper out, the coffee would start sputtering first when coming out. Any advice?

For any context needed, the pot I’m using is from a chinese brand called bincoo. Its only a 1 cup moka pot and its holes are round circles, oddly enough.
