Hi All I am new here and looking forward to future interactions. I had a quick question with my older version (V2 I think) of my Rancilio Silvia Coffee Machine. My shot extraction is under 10 secs and thus I am not getting a good crema anymore. This is including having primed it before, ensuring the water is hot. I also have a Rancilio Rocky Grinder with 30 settings (http://knowyourgrinder.com/rancilio-rocky-hsd-roc-sd-doserless-coffee-grinder-review/) Despite having gone down to as fine as Setting No. 1 on the grinder, it still extracts too quickly under 10 secs. Is my pressu

Hi everyone, Long time listener, first time caller. I would need your help with the issue of struggling to get a decent crema on my espresso and it tastes under-extracted with different coffees of different roasting dates (fresh or 4 weeks).

Not sure if this thread belongs here or in some other section (technical?) - I have never had this happen before, but the espresso shots I pulled this morning have heavy oil beads on them.

So the easy answer is that the surface oil from the beans e

The espresso from my Classic seems either bitter or sour. I am adjusting the grind but can't seem to hit the sweet spot. I am grinding Rave Moka Java with my Mignon so should not be expecting too much bitterness. Any ideas? Very frustrating! :-)

Hi, My trusted Sage Barista Express (circa 6 yrs old) has developed a fault, where both the 1 and 2 cup options do not cut off the water after the normal amount is released. When trying to make an espresso, the pressure starts to increase, then the water cuts off. I have run a clean cycle and reset any programmes that could have been configured. Also tried creating a programme but problem still exists. Any help/advice on how to repair would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
