Common problem is what you are experiencing.
Cheapest way to manage is the temperature surfing method = time the heating cycle, and pull shot 30-60 secs after, depending on what tastes best to you,
Next easiest way is to fit a temp probe from a digital multimeter or similar and monitor boiler temp, then you can pull shots at your preferred start temp, and you can manually force temp a bit with some practice.
Best way, is to fit a PID controller, set your desired temp and it does it for you,
yes it is a bit costly, but it makes a good machine great!
