In a very simplistic way, just look at the espresso dial on your machine.
If it goes into the brown area, its probably just about right. If it goes red, then youre either tamping too hard, packing too much coffee into the porta filter or grinding the beans too fine.
If its in the golden half of the dial, its pouring too quickly and not extracting the crema properly.
