...because, I really dont think I can!. 
Check out the wonderful single shot extraction, by this Italian Barista in this short tutorial video.

The relevant section is approximately from 1:20 to 1:50
I have a Mazzer Super Jolly, Rancilio Silvia, custom fit tamper, and a Behmor home roaster, and around 10 years experience.
And, although I generally make what I regard as very good to excellent espressos, I simply can not get anything like this full crema extraction from a single shot basket. (7.5g, apparently)
Im sure the fault is not my grind, freshness of beans, or tamping.
My question is simple, Can you make shots from a single shot basket like this with an automatic domestic machine?, such as the Rancilio Silvia in my case.
Any wisdom shared, or frustrations vented would be welcomed
