Re: BREVILLE BES860
Hmmm, the dose could be your issue, it sounds like there isnt enough coffee in there to begin with. My dose and tamp procedure for the double basket is to set the basket selector to single basket, then dose with the dose dial set on maximum, settle the grinds then dose again with dose dial set to minimum, then tamp so the stainless part of the tamper is lined up with the top of the basket.
I have the same glasses and the volume of espresso youre getting seems about right, remember, you want only about 60mL for a double shot.
For comparison, heres my extraction from this morning. I cant post links yet, but to get there just type in the normal youtube url followed by:

Popper roasted Tanzanian Uru Estate beans 9 days post roast, single wall double basket, grind size set to 14, dosed and tamped as described above, then extracted a double. It ended up being a 33 second extraction, it got a bit splashy at the end but that seems to always happen. For volume reference, the cups are like yours but the 80mL version.
