    The bottomless filter is making this easier to sort out. I'll try weighing beans (I'd thought it was the ground weight) and tighten the grinder. up. I'm not sure my camera skills are quite up to the full process!

    Well if any of you are still interested, here is tonight's short shot: https://www.dropbox.com/s/u93109jtqlx76nz/2014-12-08%2017.46.47.mp4?dl=0 Please excuse the sounds of the baby and missus! I stopped the shot earlier than usual and the coffee did taste a little less horrible!

    Thanks all (yet again!) I'll try to upload a video if I get time - my wife will actually think I'm crazy! Really a very bitter (perhaps sour) taste this morning, so into hot water and milk it went. I really appreciate the link to training. Nottingham is very reachable from here, so I think...

    Thanks both! I'm based in Leicester. Finding a decent coffee shop is hard enough! I'll look at the PID mod, but it's still yet another fiddle, and it won't reduce the 20 minutes it takes to adequately warm the beast up! I'm sort of thinking of using the superauto as my day-to-day machine...

    Christmas is coming and the goose is getting fat... or rather I've reached my limit with my Gaggia Classic. I've had it for a few years now and it's in reasonable shape. I recently changed the rubber o-ring, gave it a good descale, and got some beans from Has Bean. I use an MC2 grinder...
