Hey rawill,
Im another newbie and have got a modded Breville BCG450 too that Id been using for stove top before I got my machine, unfortunately I think that may be the problem. Even on the finest grind setting and tamping way too hard I havent been able to get anywhere near 25-30 sec with it. Fortunately Ive got a neighbour with a Mazzer who I can harass regularly
, with the finer and more consistent grind its been much better. Unfortunately (for the budget that is) I think a grinder upgrade would go at least part of the way toward finding the 25-20 sec sweet spot
