Anyone still attempting espresso at home?
I have a rancillio Silva machine and a rancillio Rocky grinder. Both were 2nd hand. I replaced the burrs in the grinder a couple of years ago. The water runs freely through the group head, and I've done nothing to maintain or service the machine except using filtered water.
My issue is blonding. In terms of beans I used to use caravan, then went onto Colombian beans and have tried some others that smell and look fresh but still I have to use my finest grind. 2 years ago the caravan beans would start at more coarse on the dial and get finer over the next 2 weeks. Now I'm always at finest possible grind always.
Any suggestions why the shots seem to run so fast? I haven't choked a shot in ages now -
Sorry @sacredhart @MCamb is collecting it

Yeah 18g. If I go much more it really has a strong shower screen print on it but haven't paid attention to how that alters the flow. Will try 19g tomorrow
