OK thanks people.. work has started on convincing the better half that we need a grinder.. and not the Breville blade choppy thing that they threw in for free with the espresso machine :
Need to know what your budget limits are first Nety :-?

Its because the coffee is stale. Coffee goes stale in a matter of minutes after grinding. Freshly roasted and degassed beans are the only way to go...grinding right before youre about to make espresso.
Grinder and fresh beans will solve 100% of your problem.
I have a sunbeam EM5600 which is our first espresso machine. At this stage we do not have a grinder so are having to purchase ground beans. We got some of the vacuum packed beans and the machine was expressing them in around 6-7 seconds. So I went to a local coffee supplier and got them to grind them. Same thing. It does not seem to make any difference how hard I tamp them and the grind seems fine.
