Gaggia Cubika Coffee Machine

Guys,

I've had a Cubika machine now for a number of months and it does seem to 
make pretty good coffee.

However, I still don't seem to be able to get a really rich crema head.

I've tried all sorts of grind (I have a proper burr grinder), amounts of 
coffee and type of grind, but I just can't seem to get it right.

In fact if I buy "Esspresso" ground coffee it is too fine and either the 
brew will not flow or is very slow.

I notice that Gaggia used to do some sort of disc which was intended to 
improve the crema, this is not now supplied with the machine, so I wonder 
whether this has always been a problem.

Anyone got any advice or suggestions.

Thanks,


Charles
