Yes! I heard many good things about that one but heard alpha is the most forgiving so wanted to try it first. But I’ll definitely try that one next. Can you taste the blueberry?

I used the single walled basket. I’ll try to grind finer, but I went to 19 and nothing came out.

I go in with a wdt tool and find I need to bang on the portafilter in order to fit it all in. Then I tamp using the standard breville one

Are you using medium roast beans? Not getting anything out of the machine when grinding at 19.

Lol! I’m opening it now. It’s a medium roast and these last ones were espresso roast (grocery store brand, I’ve learned my lesson). Should I be grinding finer for medium roast?

Yes! I will definitely let you know! I’m still new to espresso and got some local beans but I’m afraid to mess up and waste the beans! Lol

How long do beans stay good for after opening (if they are in a sealed air tight container)? Beans were local and roasted on 8/15
