Theme : The coffee Title : The coffee flows too quickly Description : When I am making espresso coffees, the coffee comes out in strong, vigorous spurts, with a flow time of around 10 seconds. Furthermore, the coffee in the cup is not of high quality (the cream is very light).   Solution :       There are several possible causes of this fault : 1- The ground coffee used is too coarse. 2- The coffee has not been packed down firmly enough. 3- The dosage is insufficient. 4- The pressure supplied by the pump is too high (>10 bar). 5- The holes in the sieve have become larger (the sieve will probably need to be changed every 8 to 10 months). Cases 1, 2 and 3 can be resolved by adjusting the grinder settings. Cases 4 and 5 require the attention of a technician, who will carry out the necessary maintenance operations.
