Default Re: AFF Coffee Thread

yes, i had to shim my bcg800. its a bit hit and miss. my brother also had one and no shims required. its no big deal though. breville's service is fantastic. if you find you need shims, just email them or contact them, and they send you out a packet of varying thicknesses (basically just washes) for free. instructions included. takes literally 5 minutes.

i use merlo beans. normally the setting is under the R in esspresso (which is about halfway in the range). occasionally i buy from a local roaster, which requires a finer grind, but still within the maximum.
