Pressure bar Lelit Elizabeth

bookwarm

Heya all,

I am new here to the forum and i would like to ask a question.

I recently purchased a Lelit Elizabeth and i don’t manage to bring the pressure down when pulling a shot lower than 11 or 12.

I am using a Medium Roast coffee beans from Moon Roast 18g in and 36g out and a Baratza Sette 270 in 4E or 3E otherwise is to course. I also tried in D setting but still no luck. I also played with the preinfusion setting from 6 to 9 but no change. I pull a decent enough shot but tbh the espresso does not taste as nice as in my Sage barista express that i just replaced and is driving me insane.

Any help will be much appreciated.

The only way to adjust the pressure, really, is by adjusting the expansion valve - which is incredibly easy in this machine.

Check pressure with a blind filter - not with coffee.

Make sure you secure that hose out of the expansion valve with a cable tie, just to be on the safe side!
