Been given one by a mate who’s moving back to Canada. Bean to cup, nice looking bit of kit.
However…. I can’t get it to make a shot half as good as my old Gaggia Coffee (pre-classic) which is 10 years old and bar a descale/clean every few months has never been serviced!
I’ve got the grinder set to the finest setting but I guess the inbuilt tamper isn’t doing much, and the pucks that come out are half the size of the Gaggia’s. (I guess this is the issue?). I was expecting it to produce better shots. It does have a facility to use pre ground coffee so I could give that a try – perhaps the inbuilt grinder is worn out? Can this be replaced? It’s ceramic I think.
