  • I’ve just taken ownership of a Rancilio Silvia. I tried to dialling in using my Feld 47 this afternoon. I’ve used nearly 300g of coffee to get to a drinkable espresso and totally failed.

    I’ve also never used a bottomless portafilter until today. It’s really difficult.

    The beans were god awful. Ash tray smoothie is how I would describe them

  • The bottomless portafilter is showing you the problems. Once you get it running nicely you’ll enjoy it.

    If it’s running too quick grind finer. If it’s getting stuck or too slow then grind coarser.

    Worth using decent (not super fancy) beans to remove them as the source of the issue.
