Re: so whats your idea on whats wrong here?
Hi Lucinda,
The mods I did to the grinder couldnt have done anything wrong because they were mainly cover connected. The new wand on the machine also works great, so it didnt break anything
You say that you get 20s pulls with 20g of coffee on your unmodified machine, which also sounds a bit strange, because 20g is usually a triple basket dose. Maybe try dosing less, but grind finer and tamp lighter? The problem with my MDF is that the burrs are not perfectly parallel and I cant grind finer. But with the coffee Im using now Im choking my machine on the setting of 1, so its not so bad
As I said before the situation is not as bad as it seems. I get decent espressi on my rig, I was just wondering whether Im doing something wrong. It looks like my technique is not so bad, but I cant really say as I dont know how good espresso should taste like.
Cheers,
dsc.

most people dont even know what espresso is and you cant get a decent cup of it anywhere, at least not in my city. There are a couple of places in other cities, but because I dont travel a lot I wasnt able to taste the coffee served there. So calibrating my palete is not possible:|
