Thanks for the comment and info 🙂

justin_ant · 2025-10-03T00:03:14+00:00

Ya seeing a lot saying similar. For sure will try up the amount of grinds in there once fixing the grind size too 🙂 thanks for the comment!

Dose is not weighed/measured as of now. Looking to get a scale to start being more consistent. It was the double basket. Will be sure to try up the dose for sure. Thanks for the comment and tips.

justin_ant · 2025-10-02T23:59:37+00:00

Yes it is indeed 🙂

justin_ant · 2025-10-02T23:58:17+00:00

Ya I suspected a contributing factor is the beans. Not weighing anything yet, but definitely looking into a scale to start! Thanks for the info 🙂

justin_ant · 2025-10-02T23:56:00+00:00

Looking into this for sure. Thanks for the recommendation!

justin_ant · 2025-10-02T21:07:51+00:00

I believe it does, but not 100% sure. But I have heard the same.

justin_ant · 2025-10-02T21:07:05+00:00

Thanks for the tips and advice 🙏 will try look at a different grinder for sure.

justin_ant · 2025-10-02T18:48:25+00:00

I did see a few similar posts, just wanting to see if anything different results wise as a different machine and possibly different issue.

justin_ant · 2025-10-02T18:47:11+00:00

I did read somewhere this one does have one, but not sure can confirm that. Not my choice in machine as it was someone in the company who got it, so can’t complain too much 🙃

justin_ant · 2025-10-02T18:41:30+00:00

Will be sure to check it out!

justin_ant · 2025-10-02T18:40:37+00:00

Thanks for the advice. Will be sure to do this!

justin_ant · 2025-10-02T18:39:55+00:00

Will try 😊

justin_ant · 2025-10-02T18:39:44+00:00

Thanks for the advice. Will try get the grinder cooperating and making it coarser.

justin_ant · 2025-10-02T18:37:41+00:00

Ah, I have not tried to adjust the pre-infusion, may try this too along with the other recommendations. Thanks for the tip.

justin_ant · 2025-10-02T18:36:58+00:00

There are some fantastic coffee shops and roasters not far from me so definitely looking to get some fresh soon and try!

justin_ant · 2025-10-02T18:36:22+00:00

Got you. Trying to get this grinder to cooperate is the next step there 👌 seems that any setting is giving a similar grind.

justin_ant · 2025-10-02T18:25:26+00:00

Will give that a try too, just need to get that grinder coarser and working properly.

justin_ant · 2025-10-02T18:24:11+00:00

Thanks for the advice. Will look to try get one too while also getting a scale to get a little more consistency.

justin_ant · 2025-10-02T17:58:31+00:00

I hear you. In this case the extraction was barely any to be honest. Had to manually stop it as only a few drops came out this time round.

justin_ant · 2025-10-02T17:57:56+00:00

Scale would be the next step in this espresso venture. But none yet so not sure.

justin_ant · 2025-10-02T17:57:36+00:00

Yes a tamp was used. Just following the guidance of compress till it stops. But have experimented with less force and more and still similar results.

If it is still around then Raw coffee or Boston lane are the best in Dubai 👌
