Hi Tom, I looked at many videos now and whether you use std or IMS, etc, you do still get spay. Won't it be better just to get a better basket with more holes for that std portafilter with 2 holes. That way you know your portafilter will sit correctly without any issues as deswcribed in most reviews. You will have an un-pressurized filter, which will basically work the same as most portafilters in restaurants with spouts and you won't get any spray either.

@TomsCoffeeCorner Год назад

Sure, you can do that if you like. I just like to see and analyze the extraction. Cheers!

I think it's the only way to get a bottomless portafilter for ECP3420 with a proper snug fit. All 3rd party ones sold everywhere have very small ears and smaller in diameter than the original one. Thanks for the video.

@TomsCoffeeCorner 8 месяцев назад

Actually, the Normcore, Neouza and Capfei fit well. But this is the cheapest way, and guaranteed to fit.

@vgama 2 года назад

How did you put the basket inside the portafilter with the spring on? The after market basket is wider on the side bottom part. Did you have to adjust the spring to have more room? And also, do you use de double dose basket for both single and double dose extraction? When I use my single dose basket I can't tamp the coffee enough because of the narrow part of the basket.

@TomsCoffeeCorner 2 года назад

You just have to kind of work the basket in there. It will fit, if you finesse it. I always just do a 14 gram dose. The single cup baskets are too finicky for me.

Hey Michal, it seems like you have exhausted most variables. What dose do you use, and how long does it take to get twice the grams of liquid as grams of coffee powder you use?

@JohnDoe-pw1eh 2 года назад

The only parameter you haven't changed according to your description is grind size and dosage. Lower the dosage (coffee by weight) or decrease grind size (make finer grinds).

@King-Cobra31 2 года назад

Hey there - make sure your coffee is freshly grinded, from the store or at home if you have an acceptable grinder (that you can set the grinding size, very important) For a single shot of espresso - 7 to 10 grams of fine grinded coffee ( you have to play with the grind size or get a good coffee from your corner coffee shop grinded for espresso, keep in mind every grinder is different so buy small amounts of grinded coffee until your find what works best for your machine. Number 3 worked well for me from different places, besides Starbucks where I had to get the finest they have, aka turkish grind ) - temper well by giving it a good press, try to make it as level as possible, play with how much you press until you find something that works with the following tips - 20 to 30 seconds of extraction time, from when you hit the start button and the machine starts pumping - 1 oz or abt 30 ml of liquid including the crema For a double shot - 14 to 19 grams of fine grinded coffee ( read above) - temper well by giving it a good press, try to make it as level as possible, play with how much you press until you find something that works with the following tips - 20 to 30 seconds of extraction time, from when you hit the start button and the machine starts pumping - 2 oz or about 60 ml of liquid including the crema For a lighter taste coffee with more caffeine try a blonde roast. For a stronger taste but a bit less caffeine, try a darker roasted coffee. Or you can get a medium roasted for an in between experience.

My old delonghi espresso machine had metallic basket holder, I believe it's similar aluminium alloy (no one would use pure aluminium anyway, it's too expensive and soft, and the alloy it should be safe enough). Now I'm considering to unscrew the plastic thingy from 685 holder, and just use it with the older bar14 classic basket. I already tried that, it fits the holder and it brews ok, but the thingy interferes with the flow. Sawing the holder seems like too much effort (for now).

@DerZaubererFN 2 года назад

With a bottomless portafilter you can really dial in your espresso and you'll only get good espresso with fresh beans and a dialed in grind size. The standard portafilter is double basket which creates crema even with old and stale beans. It all depends on what you actually want. I for myself have given up on this machine as I could not extract consistent shots day after day. Have bought a dual boiler with stable temperature during a shot. For me it was the right call. The advantage of the factory portafilter is that you don't have to nerd out and invest even more money and especially time in coffee/espresso making. It all depends on the use case.
