Gaggia Synchrony Compact Optimum Settings

[chris_wilson2005]

Hi Guys,

I have just taken charge of the office coffee machine a Gaggia Synchrony Compact and I understand that the coffee dose and grind settings have been changed by a number of people and although I like coffee I am not sure on the optimum coffee settings.

I understand from one of my colleagues that the coffee grinds are an important indication of the settings of the machine, so here they are.

The coffee grinds seem to retain their cake like shape and the size of the grinds are around 1 milimetre they break apart quite easily but they are a little wet. Can anyone help me with this.

The coffee tastes ok to me although it is a little strong but I am no expert.

Thanks

Chris
