Posted Thu Feb 7, 2008, 6:34pm Subject: Leaking Pressurized Portafilter on Starbucks Barista
Hey all,
The last few times that I brewed using my pressurized portafilter, some espresso came out of the 3 screw holes on the underside of the portafilter. I also tamped with about 30 pounds of pressure. Could the 'backflow' be caused by too much pressure built up in the pressurized portafilter? Now that I think about it, I haven't tapmped with the PPF in the past, so perhaps that IS the cause.....
