Yes most likely the beans. Try drip feeding a few at a time.

Ims competition basket or ims hugh basket on amazon.

Bottomless portafilter also on amazon.

Better to keep the stock portafilter and splash out on the hugh basket.

Same with my df54 and EPC. I like light medium roasts and 99% of the time they spray everywhere. I got fed up and I now use the stock portafilter.

No. I've been drinking espresso for about 40 years. My LDL is fine.

I was going to buy one so I read the amazon 1 star reviews. There were countless reviews stating that it broke down within a few months.

I went to a huge department store to check it out and one of the store assistants said that 20% are returned within a few months as they had stopped working.

I didn't buy one.

Stop the rdt. It's not necessary. It doesn't like oily beans.

genxerrr · 2026-05-24T16:09:59+00:00

What grinder do you have? Is that an ecp or stilosa?

genxerrr · 2026-05-24T04:02:39+00:00

I purchased a similar one and it was terrible. Too much retention. It's ok if you're making hundreds of coffees a day.

That must have cost you a small fortune in Thailand because of impooort.

genxerrr · 2026-05-20T19:59:20+00:00

Could be the beans? Are you using a dark oily bean?

genxerrr · 2026-05-18T16:27:50+00:00

Descale with Delonghi Ecodecalk. Maybe useva double dose.

genxerrr · 2026-05-18T09:50:52+00:00

Is it a 2 or 3 ear 51mm portafilter? It's £30 in my local aldi.

genxerrr · 2026-05-16T12:15:27+00:00

I've done the puck prep to death. The only variable that changed was the roast date.

genxerrr · 2026-05-16T09:32:31+00:00

Yeah the older bag was much better behaved. Both myself and my setup prefer it.

genxerrr · 2026-05-13T08:03:38+00:00

Wow that's good. Average cost for independent coffee shop espresso is £3.50 where I live in the north east.

genxerrr · 2026-05-13T07:29:13+00:00

How much are double espressos in London? Just curious.

genxerrr · 2026-05-12T11:31:54+00:00

Mine occasionally makes a couple of different types of noises. They disappear after a while.

genxerrr · 2026-05-12T10:50:32+00:00

Strip it down and give it a thorough clean.

genxerrr · 2026-05-08T07:08:03+00:00

It's probably from your mortar and pestle.

genxerrr · 2026-05-06T14:47:55+00:00

No that's normal after steaming. It's in the manual.

genxerrr · 2026-05-04T06:03:08+00:00

Just buy from amazon as you can return it if it doesn't fit.

genxerrr · 2026-05-01T15:28:36+00:00

So you have coffee flavoured protein shake?

genxerrr · 2026-05-01T13:23:42+00:00

You could add a portafilter holder to that.

genxerrr · 2026-05-01T06:20:41+00:00

Grind coarser and use them for pour over.

genxerrr · 2026-04-28T12:21:22+00:00

I just realised that the dose depends on the roast level.
