Hello Guys 1st Issue I have a GCP with a Eureka Mignon Crono which has a 50mm burrs. The coffee tastes good, but I never reached 25-30 seconds of extraction, the closest is 18 seconds.
I add 9g of beans into my grinder and I get 25-30g in my cup, I always use the single basket.
Can you direct me with troubleshooting steps ?

2nd Issue My final goal is to make cortado, I tried couple times after reading guides and watching videos to steam milk, but I can’t steam like they do.
I use 3% milk, Any tips?

    I use a GCP daily and it steams milk just fine, just not as fast or smoothly as commercial machines.

    What exactly is the problem with the milk you’re steaming?

    On espresso: You might not get 25-30 seconds on a single basket pull. Go with your taste, not an arbitrary time target. Does it taste more bitter than you like? Grind coarser. Does it taste more sour than you like? Grind finer. If it tastes fine now, no reason to mess with it.
