    Will do the 60ml measure and set the grinder on the finest possible and give it a go.

    Thanks for the tips!

    The shot was a bit of a gusher, grind finer. Should take 5 - 8 secs for the espresso to come out after you activate brew switch.

    A Silvia with PID would go much better with a better grinder.

    I would suggest that your espresso is overextracted as it looks like you have extracted close to 100mls rather than 60mls. Try pouring 60mls into a shotglass, then tip the shotglass into a cappucino cup to get a guide of where to stop the pour.

    To me, the pour looks a tad blonde - you should try to stop it earlier.

    We all have lots to learn, so happy learning, and good luck!

    Many thanks (I think) in advance

    BTW, the coffee is Brazil Bourbon.
