    Thank you for the replies. I hadn't even considered the bambino so will look into that. Which grinder do you use with it? I know people on here recommend the more expensive ones but as I'm starting from scratch I'd like an entry level grinder. Also, I wasn't aware about the Sage discount so...

    It certainly was as the same evening it completely cut out and wouldn't switch on again. John Lewis helpfully collected it and I'm now looking for another machine. I think I've settled on the Melitta Barista TS. I've read DavecUK's review on a Melitta but that seems to have been discontinued...

    Thank you to everyone for their helpful advice/suggestions. Yesterday, I lowered the inner burr to grind size of 3 and thought the grinder had and packed in and stopped working but after reading Rob1's post, I went back to the machine and I had indeed locked the burrs by grinding too fine...

    Went to try out the suggestions this morning but the grinder wouldn't work! Removed the burrs and cleared it all out, no blockages and makes the right noises but still won't work. No coffee at all in the portafilter. Will be arranging a collection for it's return but in the meantime I really...

    I was grinding at 20 when I got the 65ml out. Grinding finer seems to give me a longer yield. The tamp seems to be fine each time. Yes, I can get a full refund. Spoke to John Lewis who said they'd take it back. Just wanted to try again in the hope it'd produce a decent cup of coffee which...

    Just tried that and went all the way down to a grind of 6 but still getting around 90g out. Really not sure what's going here.

    It took 25 seconds to pull the shot but just tried 30 seconds and got a yield of 98g. Clearly this isn't the machine for me!

    I've read a few more posts on here and on google. I purged the beans, selected a finer grind setting, extracted using scales and stopped when I got 40g got a 1:2 ratio but still tasted sour. Think I'll return it and get a De'Longhi Prima Donna for ease of use which is what I initially set out...

    Sorry to clarify, when I have purged the beans, I grind into the portafilter for a few seconds. Is that the right way to do it? Also thank you for taking the time to respond.

    Okay, so stupid question but how do I purge the grinder? I'm assuming I run it and grind into the portafilter for a certain length of time, is that correct? I don't think there's a gate in the hopper to stop any wastage of beans. It's 65ml including cream. Is that too long? As for the taste...

    Thanks for your reply. I've tried a few different beans from Rave but same results with each one no matter how much tweaking I do so I'm not convinced the issue is with the beans. Rob1, weight of shot out I've measured in ml, is 65ml double shot. Beans are all in the bean hopper and the dose...

    Hello, I'm newbie here but have read a few posts in order to solve my problem. I have a Sage Oracle Touch but no matter what I do (or don't do)! the espresso it produces is terrible, absolutely terrible. I've lowered the dose to 19g, played with grind settings, brew time but just can't get a...
