In love with my new premiere! I’m in no way a coffee/espresso connoisseur or have any experience making any prior but I’m impressed with how my first few lattes came out and how simple the whole process is made. Admittedly would have a hard time buying this full price/or even with regular sales but so happy I was able to find it at this price!
Hey everyone!
I need your swarm intelligence. I'm starting to despair over choosing the right coffee bean... I've owned the 601 since March and still haven't found a bean variety that completely satisfies me. For cost reasons, I switched to Lavazza coffee beans. However, all the varieties I've tried so far have turned out too bitter—even though I always drink my coffee with milk.
Currently, I'm using Lavazza Super Crema with the following settings:
Grind size: 8
Strength: 3
Temperature: "Low"
The extraction time for the espresso is around 25 seconds, which is pretty good. The espresso also forms a caramel-colored crema. Nevertheless, the extract tastes bitter.
What am I doing wrong? Should I try a different bean?
Just got a pro and I am getting horrible pulls. I had a bambino and ESP before but the bambino broke
Using some old beans to learn how to use this machine and it is pulling terrible shots no crema at all. Same beans in the bambino a few days ago before it broke were pulling decent shots with good crema
I follow the suggested grind and it keeps flip flopping between 8 and 4 as recommended grind size but then it just chokes and extracts extremely slow
Hello,
Is it normal for the sound that the grinder used to make when adjusting the grind setting to disappear?
The grind setting is still displayed on the screen and changes normally.
This happened after I cleaned the grinder. Could it be that the grinder has not been installed or positioned correctly?
Thank you 😄
